Value Collection 111018809 RNG32 Carbide Turning Insert

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 111018809 is a solid carbide, uncoated turning insert in the RNG32 style, designed for use on CNC lathes and turning centers. This round-shaped insert (ANSI code RNG32, ISO code RNG090300) features a 3/8 inch (0.3750 inch) inscribed circle and a 1/8 inch (0.1250 inch) insert thickness. The flat top geometry and negative side clearance make it suited for stable, rigid toolholding setups using a clamp-style holding method. Machinists and toolroom technicians install this insert as a direct replacement in compatible boring, turning, and profiling operations.

This insert is appropriate for turning operations across a range of workpiece materials, including cast iron and hardened materials (ISO material code K), stainless steel (M), non-ferrous metals and plastics (N), and heat-resistant superalloys (S). The solid carbide construction at material grade C2 provides good wear resistance in interrupted and continuous cuts. It is used in both production and job-shop environments where a general-purpose round insert profile is required. The bright, uncoated finish is standard for applications where coating is not needed or where regrinding is planned.

Key Features

• Round insert shape (ANSI RNG32 / ISO RNG090300) for full 360-degree indexing and maximum number of cutting edges
• Solid carbide construction at material grade C2 for wear resistance in demanding turning applications
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating to delaminate; suitable for regrinding
• Negative side clearance with zero relief angle for rigid, stable clamped toolholding
• Flat top chip breaker geometry with no chip breaker groove — suited for semi-finish and finish cuts
• Compatible with ISO workpiece material codes K, M, N, and S

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement turning insert for toolholders that accept the RNG32 (ISO RNG090300) round insert style with a clamp-style holding method and negative clearance geometry.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and de-energize the machine before changing inserts. Seat the insert fully and evenly in the pocket before torquing the clamp screw; consult the toolholder manufacturer specification for clamp torque. Inspect the insert pocket and clamp for wear or debris before installing a new insert to ensure proper seating and runout.
