Kyocera TCV02007 Ceramic Turning Insert DNGA432T00825

Product Description

The KYOCERA TCV02007 is a ceramic turning insert manufactured to DNGA432T00825 geometry with a PT600M grade designation. It is constructed from an Al2O3 TiC ceramic composite applied via PVD coating (Megacoat process), delivering the hardness and thermal resistance required for interrupted and continuous cuts in hard and abrasive workpiece materials. The insert features a 55-degree diamond shape, a 0.5-inch inscribed circle, a 3/16-inch thickness, and a 1/32-inch corner radius. With four usable cutting edges and a neutral hand orientation, it is suited to high-speed finishing and semi-finishing operations on CNC turning centers. Licensed machinists and tooling specialists are the primary users of this insert.

This insert is designed for external turning, boring, and copying applications. Its primary workpiece material classification is hard materials (ISO code H), with cast iron (ISO code K) as a secondary application. The chamfered cutting edge style and negative rake geometry make it appropriate for rigid setups where tool pressure and edge stability are priorities. It conforms to both ANSI and ISO standards, with an ISO designation of DNGA150408T02025, making it cross-referenceable within standard tooling catalogs used by production machining shops.

Compatibility

Designed for use in DNGA-style insert toolholders that accept a 0.5-inch inscribed circle, 3/16-inch thick, 55-degree diamond insert with clamp or pin clamping. Compatible with boring, copying, and external turning operations as specified by the manufacturer. Industry standard number DNGA432T00825PT600M may be used for cross-referencing equivalent toolholder fits.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the turret is in a safe index position before seating or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate torque wrench and clamp hardware specified for the DNGA toolholder to avoid insert rock or premature edge failure. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surface for chips or debris before installation.
