Kyocera TBE00902 Turning Insert VBMT2202 KPD010 Pcd

Product Description

The KYOCERA TBE00902 is a single-tipped polycrystalline diamond (PCD) turning insert in VBMT style, designed for precision external and internal turning operations. It carries the VBMT2202 KPD010 industry designation and conforms to both ANSI and ISO standards under the ISOI series. The insert features a 35-degree diamond shape, a 0.25-inch inscribed circle, and a 0.004-inch corner radius, making it well-suited for high-precision finishing and profiling cuts on difficult-to-machine materials. With a positive rake angle of 10 degrees and a 5-degree relief angle, it supports clean chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces on non-ferrous and superalloy workpieces.

This insert is intended for use on CNC lathes and turning centers handling non-ferrous metals and superalloys. Typical applications include external turning, facing, profiling, back boring, copying, internal facing, and undercutting. Its PCD construction makes it particularly effective where carbide inserts wear prematurely, such as in aluminum alloy, copper, and exotic superalloy machining. The screw-holding method ensures secure clamping in compatible toolholders. Material grades N10 and N20 cover the primary intended workpiece material range.

Key Features

• Polycrystalline diamond (PCD) insert material for extended tool life on non-ferrous and superalloy workpieces
• 35-degree diamond insert shape (shape code V) with a 0.004-inch corner radius for tight-radius profiling
• Positive rake geometry (10-degree rake, 5-degree relief) reduces cutting forces and heat generation
• Multi-use capable: external turning, facing, profiling, back boring, copying, internal facing, and undercutting
• Uncoated bright finish preserves sharp PCD edge integrity
• Screw-holding method with tolerance code M and clearance code B for precise, repeatable seating

Compatibility

Designed for use in VBMT-style toolholders compatible with a 0.25-inch inscribed circle insert. Conforms to ANSI and ISO VBMT110301 standards. Suitable for material grades N10 and N20 covering non-ferrous metals and superalloys.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians on CNC turning centers or manual lathes. Power down and lock out the spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the manufacturer-specified torque driver for the clamping screw to ensure proper seating without damaging the PCD tip. Inspect the toolholder seat and clamp for wear or debris before mounting a new insert.
