Tungaloy 6808852 Turning Insert TPG322 TH10 Carbide

Product Description

The TUNGALOY 6808852 is a solid carbide, uncoated turning insert in the TPG322 geometry, designed for precision metal removal on CNC and manual lathes. Manufactured to the TH10 grade, this triangular insert offers a positive rake angle and a honed cutting edge for clean, controlled cutting action. With a 3/8-inch inscribed circle, a 1/32-inch corner radius, and a flat-top chip breaker design, it suits applications where surface finish and dimensional accuracy are priorities. Installation is performed by qualified machinists and toolroom technicians following standard insert clamping procedures.

This insert is suited for turning, facing, and boring operations across a range of workpiece materials including cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials. The neutral hand orientation makes it adaptable to both left- and right-hand toolholder setups. It is particularly well matched to production environments where consistent tool life and dimensional repeatability are required across multiple cutting edges. Three usable cutting edges per insert help reduce tooling cost per edge.

Key Features

• TH10 solid carbide grade, uncoated (bright finish) for compatibility with a broad range of workpiece materials
• Triangular insert shape with 60-degree included angle and three cutting edges
• Positive rake angle with honed cutting edge style for reduced cutting forces
• 1/32-inch (0.0315 inch) corner radius for general-purpose profiling and finishing
• Flat-top chip breaker design; maximum depth of cut 0.0787 inches
• Clamp-style holding method; conforms to ANSI and ISO standards (ISO code TPG 322)
• Multi-use capability: turning, facing, and boring operations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit insert for toolholders accepting TPG 322 triangular inserts with a clamp holding method, conforming to ANSI and ISO standard geometries. Industry standard number TPGN 322 applies.

Installation Notes

Insert replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine powered down and the spindle locked before any toolholder work begins. Seat the insert fully against the toolholder pocket and verify the clamp is torqued per the toolholder manufacturer specification before resuming cuts. Inspect the insert seat and clamp for wear or debris that could affect seating accuracy. Rotate to a fresh cutting edge rather than re-using a worn edge to maintain dimensional tolerances.
