Horn RU108001531TN35 Grooving Insert TN35 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HORN RU108001531TN35 is a solid carbide grooving insert engineered for precision external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured to Series U108 geometry, this right-hand insert features a 0.031 inch cutting width and a 0.015 inch corner radius. It measures 0.307 inches in overall length and is held securely by a screw-clamping method. The TN35 manufacturer grade delivers consistent performance across a broad range of workpiece materials. This insert is installed and replaced by machinists and CNC turning technicians in production and job-shop environments.

The RU108001531TN35 is suited for grooving and parting applications on a wide variety of material types, including cast iron, stainless steel, non-ferrous metals, steel, and superalloys, corresponding to workpiece material codes K, M, N, P, and S. Its universal primary workpiece material designation makes it a versatile choice for shops running mixed-material production runs on modern CNC turning equipment. The screw-hold mounting method ensures repeatable insert positioning and fast changeover during high-volume turning cycles.

Installation Notes

Insert replacement and indexing should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician with the machine fully stopped and in an e-stop or locked-out state per applicable machine safety procedures. Use the correct torque driver or insert screw tool specified for the U108 holder to avoid seat damage. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for wear or contamination before seating a new insert. Handle solid carbide inserts carefully to avoid chipping the cutting edge prior to installation.
