Horn S2240200D2TF46 Grooving Insert TF46 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HORN S2240200D2TF46 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the S224 series, designed for precision grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It features a 0.098-inch cutting width and a TF46 carbide grade, making it suited for demanding materials including steel, stainless steel, and non-ferrous alloys. The insert is compatible with both left-hand and right-hand applications. A screw-clamping holding method ensures rigid, repeatable seating in compatible toolholders. This insert is installed by machinists and CNC operators in precision machining environments.

The S2240200D2TF46 is intended for grooving operations in production and job-shop turning applications. The TF46 grade and D chip breaker geometry support controlled chip formation across a range of workpiece materials, including carbon and alloy steels, stainless steels, and non-ferrous metals. Secondary applications cover titanium and heat-resistant superalloys. It fits within the S224 insert series toolholder platform and is suited for both light and moderate-duty grooving passes on bar stock and turned components.

Key Features

• TF46 solid carbide grade for wear resistance across steel and non-ferrous workpieces
• 0.098-inch cutting width with 0.008-inch corner radius for controlled groove geometry
• D chip breaker geometry for reliable chip evacuation during grooving
• Left-hand and right-hand compatible for flexible toolholder mounting
• Screw-clamp holding method for secure, repeatable insert indexing
• 5-degree lead angle for gradual entry into the workpiece

Compatibility

Designed for use with S224 series toolholders. Compatible with workpiece material codes M (stainless steel), N (non-ferrous), and P (steel) as primary materials, and M and S (heat-resistant superalloys) as secondary materials.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to seat the clamping screw to the toolholder manufacturer's specification. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping surfaces for wear or debris before seating a new insert to ensure proper contact and runout.
