Value Collection 112076609 Turning Insert TPU322 I22

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 112076609 is a solid carbide turning insert designed for use in precision metal cutting operations on CNC and manual lathes. Conforming to ANSI insert code TPU322 and ISO insert code TPU160308, this triangular insert features a 60-degree included angle, a 3/8-inch (0.3752 inch decimal) inscribed circle, and a 1/32-inch (0.0315 inch decimal) corner radius. The insert carries a material grade of C2 carbide with manufacturer grade I22, a flat-top chip breaker configuration, and a positive side clearance angle of 11 degrees. It is sized at 9.53 mm in length with a 1/8-inch thickness. Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, machinists, and toolroom personnel working with ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This insert is suited for turning operations on a range of workpiece materials identified by ISO material codes K, M, N, and S, covering cast iron, stainless steel, non-ferrous metals, and heat-resistant alloys. It is held in place using a clamp-style insert holding method, compatible with standard TPU-style toolholders. The flat-top geometry and positive clearance make it a practical choice for finishing and semi-finishing passes where controlled chip flow and consistent surface finish are required.

Installation Notes

Turning inserts of this type are installed and replaced by machinists and toolroom technicians on CNC turning centers or manual lathes. Always power down and de-energize the machine before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torque wrench and clamping hardware specified by the toolholder manufacturer to secure the insert. Inspect the toolholder pocket for wear or debris before seating a new insert.
