Horn R108184602TF45 Boring Insert Solid Carbide TF45

Product Description

The HORN R108184602TF45 is a solid carbide boring insert designed for precision internal turning and boring operations on CNC and manual lathes. It carries a TiAlN (titanium aluminum nitride) coating and an 18-degree relief angle, which reduces friction and improves tool life in demanding cutting conditions. Manufactured to DIN 509 standards, this insert fits the R108 series toolholders and is suited for right-hand cutting applications. Machinists and toolroom technicians working in production environments rely on this grade for its dimensional consistency and coating performance across a range of workpiece materials.

This insert is intended for internal boring and threading relief operations where tight tolerances and repeatable surface finishes are required. The R108 series geometry is commonly used in Swiss-type, gang-tool, and conventional turning setups. The TF45 grade with TiAlN coating performs well in ferrous materials at moderate to high cutting speeds. This is a right-hand insert, so confirm toolholder hand orientation before ordering. It is sold in single-piece packaging with a minimum order quantity of two pieces.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate for rigidity and dimensional stability in small-diameter boring
• TiAlN coating improves heat resistance and extends tool life in ferrous cutting applications
• 18-degree relief angle reduces rubbing and improves chip clearance
• Right-hand cutting orientation
• Manufactured to DIN 509 standards for consistent insert geometry
• R108 series insert style for compatibility with matching toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use with R108 series boring toolholders accepting size code 108 inserts. Confirm toolholder insert pocket geometry and hand orientation match before installation.

Installation Notes

Insert installation and replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before handling cutting inserts. Use the appropriate insert clamp or screw torque as specified by the toolholder manufacturer - do not over-torque the clamping mechanism. Inspect the insert pocket for wear or damage before seating a new insert.
