Value Collection 112369506 TPG320 Carbide Turning Insert

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 112369506 is a solid carbide turning insert in the TPG320 style, designed for use in CNC and manual lathe operations. This triangular insert features a 60-degree included angle, a 3/8-inch (0.3750-inch) inscribed circle, and a 0.004-inch corner radius, making it well suited for general-purpose turning of steel and ferrous workpiece materials. The flat-top chip breaker geometry and positive side clearance support clean chip evacuation during continuous turning passes. Manufactured to grade I55 carbide with a C2 material grade rating, this insert delivers consistent cutting performance across a range of ferrous applications. Installation is performed by machinists and CNC operators using standard TPG-style clamp-type toolholders.

This insert is intended for turning applications involving steel and similar primary workpiece materials, as indicated by ISO primary workpiece material code P. The TPG320 style is a common insert geometry used in both production and job-shop environments for external turning, facing, and profiling operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. The flat-top, clamp-held design fits standard TPG toolholders and is appropriate for light to moderate material removal rates where a positive clearance angle is preferred.

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard supply insert for TPG-style clamp-type turning toolholders accepting a TPG320 (ISO 160301) triangular carbide insert.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed and serviced by machinists or CNC operators. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate torque wrench and clamp screw specified by the toolholder manufacturer when seating the insert to avoid cracking the carbide. Inspect the insert seat and clamp for debris or wear before installing a new insert.
