Value Collection 112369409 TPG222 Carbide Turning Insert

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 112369409 is a solid carbide turning insert designed for precision metal cutting on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. Conforming to ANSI insert code TPG222 and ISO code TPG110308, this triangular insert features a 60-degree included angle, a 1/4-inch inscribed circle, and a 1/32-inch corner radius. The grade I22 carbide substrate with a flat-top chip breaker geometry and positive side clearance delivers consistent performance across a range of workpiece materials. Machinists and toolroom operators rely on this insert for reliable dimensional repeatability in turning applications.

This insert is suited for turning operations on cast iron, non-ferrous metals, non-metallic materials, and heat-resistant superalloys, corresponding to ISO material codes K, M, N, and S. The TPG-style clamp-held design makes it compatible with standard TPG toolholders commonly found in production and job-shop environments. At 11 millimeters in length and 1/8-inch thickness, the insert seats firmly in the pocket without overhang, supporting light to moderate depth-of-cut passes where surface finish and edge control are priorities.

Key Features

• ANSI insert code TPG222, ISO insert code TPG110308 for straightforward toolholder matching
• Solid carbide construction, material grade C2, for wear resistance and thermal stability
• 60-degree triangular shape provides three usable cutting edges per insert
• 1/32-inch corner radius balances edge strength with surface finish requirements
• Flat-top chip breaker geometry with positive side clearance reduces cutting forces
• Clamp-held insert style (tolerance code G, clearance code P) for secure seating

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for standard TPG222-style toolholders accepting a 1/4-inch inscribed circle triangular insert with positive clearance. Suitable for workpiece material codes K, M, N, and S per ISO classification.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or changing inserts. Use the appropriate torque wrench and clamp screw specified by the toolholder manufacturer to secure the insert — do not over-tighten or use improvised tools. Inspect the insert pocket and shim for chips or wear before seating a new insert to ensure accurate edge height.
