Value Collection 112077006 TPU323 Carbide Turning Insert

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 112077006 is a solid carbide turning insert designed for precision metal cutting operations on CNC and manual lathes. Conforming to ANSI insert code TPU323 and ISO insert code TPU160312, this insert features a triangular shape with a 60-degree included angle, a 3/8-inch inscribed circle, and a 3/64-inch corner radius. The manufacturer grade is I55 with a material grade of C2 carbide. A positive side clearance and 11-degree relief angle reduce cutting forces and help extend tool life during turning operations. Machinists and tool room professionals install this insert in compatible clamp-style toolholders.

This insert is suited for turning operations on steel and ferrous workpiece materials, indicated by primary workpiece material code P. The flat-top chip breaker geometry and positive clearance make it appropriate for general-purpose finishing and semi-finishing passes on a range of part diameters. It is sold individually and requires a minimum order of 10 units, making it appropriate for shop restocking or toolcrib inventory. Typical applications include external diameter turning and facing operations in production and job-shop environments.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction, material grade C2, for consistent edge integrity under continuous cutting loads
• Triangular insert shape (T) with 60-degree included angle provides three usable cutting edges
• 3/8-inch inscribed circle and 1/8-inch insert thickness conform to ANSI size code 323
• 3/64-inch corner radius balances surface finish quality with edge strength
• Positive side clearance and 11-degree relief angle reduce cutting forces on ferrous materials
• Flat-top chip breaker geometry with clamp holding method for secure, repeatable seating

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement turning insert for clamp-style toolholders accepting ANSI TPU323 or ISO TPU160312 inserts with a triangular seat geometry.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tool crib technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing any insert. Seat the insert fully against the toolholder pocket and verify the clamp screw is tightened to the toolholder manufacturer specification before resuming cuts. Inspect the insert seating pocket for chips or damage before installing a new insert to prevent premature edge failure.
