Kyocera TSJ61354 Turning Insert Tcmt Cermet TN60

Product Description

The KYOCERA TSJ61354 is a TCMT-style triangular turning insert designed for external turning operations on steel workpieces. It carries a TN60 cermet grade with a TiCN and NbC coating and a positive rake geometry, making it well-suited for finishing and semi-finishing cuts where surface quality and edge stability matter. The insert features a honed cutting edge style, a 15-degree rake angle, a 7-degree relief angle, and an included angle of 60 degrees. Three usable cutting edges are available per insert. It is held in place by a screw-type clamping method and is classified under ANSI and ISO standards.

This insert is intended for use in external turning applications on steel, covering ISO material grades P01, P10, and P20. It fits standard TCMT insert pockets and is commonly used in CNC lathes and turning centers for light to medium material removal on carbon steels, alloy steels, and similar ferrous materials. The HQ chip breaker geometry supports controlled chip flow during precision turning passes. Licensed machinists and CNC operators typically specify this insert for finish-turning operations where dimensional accuracy and surface finish are priorities.

Key Features

• TN60 cermet grade with TiCN and NbC coating for wear resistance on steel
• Positive rake angle of 15 degrees supports reduced cutting forces
• Honed cutting edge style for improved edge integrity on finishing cuts
• 3 usable cutting edges per insert for extended tooling value
• HQ chip breaker geometry for controlled chip evacuation
• Screw-type insert holding method for secure, repeatable seating

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement insert for TCMT-style insert pockets conforming to ANSI and ISO standards. Industry standard number TCMT3251HQTN60 and ISO code TCMT16T304HQ apply for cross-reference purposes.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed and replaced by machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Before changing inserts, power down the machine and ensure the spindle is fully stopped. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to loosen the clamping screw, seat the new insert fully into the pocket, and torque the screw according to the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or damage before seating a new edge.
