Kyocera TSJ01960 Turning Insert TNGG432LC TN60 Cermet

Product Description

The KYOCERA TSJ01960 is a cermet turning insert designed for precision metal cutting in CNC and manual lathe applications. It conforms to the TNGG432LC geometry: a 60-degree triangular shape with a 1/2-inch inscribed circle, 0.866-inch insert length, and a 1/32-inch corner radius. The insert is left-hand oriented and carries a TiCN plus NbC coating classification with an uncoated coating process, offering a honed cutting edge and negative rake angle of -14 degrees. With 6 cutting edges, this insert delivers consistent performance in steel and stainless steel turning operations and is installed by machinists and tool room technicians.

This insert is suited for light to medium material removal on steel and stainless steel workpieces. Rated under ISO material grade codes P01, P10, and P20, it handles boring, chamfering, copying, external turning, facing, and up-facing operations. The ISOI series designation and conformance to both ANSI and ISO standards make it compatible with standard triangular insert toolholders requiring a left-hand TNGG geometry. The chip breaker style is C, and the insert holding method is compatible with clamp and pin systems.

Key Features

• Cermet insert material with TiCN and NbC coating classification for wear resistance on steel workpieces
• 6 cutting edges per insert for extended tool life and cost efficiency
• Left-hand orientation with TNGG432LC geometry conforming to ANSI and ISO standards
• Negative rake angle (-14 degrees) and honed cutting edge style for controlled chip formation
• Supports multiple operations: boring, chamfering, copying, external turning, facing, and up-facing
• Clamp and pin holding method for secure seating in compatible toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard TNGG triangular insert toolholders requiring a left-hand insert with a 1/2-inch inscribed circle. ISO code TNGG220408L-C and industry standard number TNGG432LCTN60 identify this insert for direct cross-reference. Compatible with P-category and M-category workpiece materials including steel and stainless steel per ISO material classification.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed by qualified machinists or tool room technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing inserts. Seat the insert firmly against the toolholder pocket locating surfaces and secure with the clamp or pin as specified by the toolholder manufacturer. Inspect the insert seat and clamp for debris or wear before installation to prevent insert rocking or premature edge failure.
