Value Collection 112369709 TPG322 Carbide Turning Insert

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 112369709 is a solid carbide turning insert designed for precision lathe and turning center operations. Conforming to the TPG322 ANSI insert code and ISO designation TPG160308, this triangular insert features a 3/8-inch inscribed circle, a 1/32-inch corner radius, and a positive side clearance geometry. The 60-degree included angle and flat-top chip breaker configuration make it well suited for finish and semi-finish turning passes. At 16.5 mm in length and 1/8-inch thickness, it is installed by machinists and CNC operators working with compatible clamp-style toolholders.

This insert is intended for turning applications across a range of workpiece materials, including cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and high-temperature alloys, corresponding to ISO material codes K, M, N, and S. The solid carbide construction at material grade C2 provides the hardness needed for consistent tool life in production turning environments. It is used on both manual engine lathes and CNC turning centers where a TPG-style clamp-held insert is specified. Each insert is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement turning insert for clamp-style toolholders accepting TPG322 geometry inserts per ANSI and ISO TPG160308 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or CNC operator with the machine powered down and the spindle fully stopped before changing the insert. Secure the insert firmly in the clamp-style toolholder seat to prevent movement during the cut. Inspect the toolholder pocket and clamp for wear or damage before seating a new insert. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine manufacturer guidelines when indexing or replacing cutting inserts.
