Value Collection 112076606 Turning Insert TPU322 I55

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 112076606 is a solid carbide turning insert designed for precision metal cutting on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. Manufactured to ANSI insert code TPU322 and ISO insert code TPU160308, this triangular insert features a 60-degree included angle, a 3/8-inch inscribed circle, and a 1/32-inch corner radius. The I55 manufacturer grade and C2 material grade make it suited for general-purpose turning operations. A positive side clearance and 11-degree relief angle reduce cutting forces and help extend tool life during continuous turning passes. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the primary users of this insert.

This insert is intended for turning operations on primary workpiece material code P, which corresponds to steel and steel alloys. Its flat top chip breaker geometry and clamp holding method make it compatible with standard triangular insert toolholders. Typical applications include finish and semi-finish turning of steel components in production machining environments. The positive clearance geometry reduces rubbing and heat buildup, making it appropriate for moderate to light cuts.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for hardness and wear resistance
• 60-degree triangle insert shape with 11-degree relief angle for reduced cutting forces
• 3/8-inch inscribed circle with 1/32-inch corner radius for consistent edge geometry
• Flat top chip breaker with positive side clearance for clean chip evacuation
• Clamp holding method compatible with standard TPU-style toolholders
• ANSI code TPU322 and ISO code TPU160308 for straightforward toolholder matching

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard clamp-style turning toolholders accepting triangular inserts with ANSI size code 322 and ISO size code 160308. Verify toolholder pocket specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and clamping should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator following the toolholder manufacturer's clamping procedure. Power down and lock out the machine before changing inserts. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping components for wear or debris before seating the new insert. Do not exceed the toolholder or machine's rated depth of cut or feed rate for this insert geometry.
