Kyocera TSJ00610 Turning Insert Cermet 55 Diamond

Product Description

The KYOCERA TSJ00610 is a cermet turning insert designed for precision external turning, copying, back boring, and sub-spindle operations on steel workpieces. Manufactured to ANSI and ISO standards, this insert features a 55-degree diamond shape (DCGT style) with a TiCN and NbC coating applied over a cermet substrate. It carries a neutral hand orientation and a positive rake geometry, making it well suited for light to medium finishing cuts. The insert measures 0.914 inches in length with a 0.375-inch inscribed circle and a corner radius of 0.004 inches. Two cutting edges per insert extend tool life between index cycles.

This insert is intended for use in steel finishing and semi-finishing applications classified under material grades P01, P10, and P20. It is commonly used in CNC turning centers and multi-spindle lathes where tight tolerances and smooth surface finishes are required. Typical applications include external turning, profile copying, back boring, and sub-spindle work on low to medium alloy steels. The screw-holding method provides secure clamping in compatible DCGT-style toolholders. The ISO code for this insert is DCGT11T301, and the industry standard number is DCGT32502TN60.

Key Features

• Cermet substrate with TiCN and NbC coating for wear resistance on steel
• 55-degree diamond insert shape with positive rake for reduced cutting forces
• Two cutting edges per insert for extended tool life between replacements
• Neutral hand orientation suitable for right- and left-hand toolholder setups
• Screw-holding method for rigid, repeatable insert positioning
• Compliant with both ANSI and ISO insert standards

Compatibility

Designed for use in DCGT-style screw-on toolholders. Compatible with turning applications targeting P-grade steels (P01, P10, P20). Suitable for multi-use applications including back boring, copying, external turning, and sub-spindle operations as specified by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the correct torque wrench and manufacturer-specified insert screw to seat the insert securely in the pocket — do not overtighten by hand. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for wear or debris before seating a new insert.
