Value Collection 112369809 TPG323 Carbide Turning Insert

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 112369809 is a solid carbide turning insert designed for precision metal cutting on CNC and manual lathes. Conforming to ANSI insert code TPG323 and ISO insert code TPG160312, this insert features a 60-degree triangular shape with a positive side clearance and flat-top chip breaker configuration. The inscribed circle measures 3/8 inches, the corner radius is 3/64 inches, and insert thickness is 1/8 inches. Grade I22 carbide construction delivers consistent edge performance across a range of workpiece materials. Machining professionals and toolroom technicians use this insert for general-purpose turning operations requiring reliable geometry and tight tolerances.

This insert is suited for turning operations on cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and select stainless and heat-resistant alloy applications. The TPG-style clamp-held design fits standard TPG insert pockets on turning tool holders. Primary workpiece material codes K, M, N, and S indicate suitability for cast iron, stainless steel, non-ferrous materials, and heat-resistant alloys respectively. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units, making it appropriate for shop stock replenishment and production runs.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the machine before changing inserts. Seat the insert fully and evenly in the pocket before tightening the clamp to prevent rocking or chatter. Inspect the tool holder pocket for wear or debris before seating a new insert.
