Value Collection 112369836 TPG323 Carbide Turning Insert

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 112369836 is a solid carbide turning insert designed for precision metal cutting on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. Manufactured to the TPG323 ANSI insert code and TPG160312 ISO standard, this insert features a CVD-applied TiC and TiN multilayer coating that extends tool life when machining steel and stainless steel workpiece materials. The triangular insert geometry provides three usable cutting edges. A positive side clearance angle and 11-degree relief angle reduce cutting forces and minimize workpiece deflection. The flat-top chip breaker geometry suits general-purpose turning operations where consistent chip control is required.

This insert is suited for production turning in both light and medium-duty applications on ferrous materials. Primary workpiece material codes M and P indicate compatibility with steel and stainless steel. It is held in place using a clamp-style toolholder and is appropriate for use in machine shops, toolrooms, and production environments where ISO TPGN160312 or ANSI TPG323 toolholders are in service. Machinists and CNC operators working with C5, C6, and C7 carbide grade toolholders will find this insert a direct fit.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with CVD TiC and TiN coating for improved wear resistance on steel and stainless steel
• TPG323 ANSI insert code and TPG160312 ISO insert code for broad toolholder compatibility
• 60-degree triangular shape provides three cutting edges per insert
• 11-degree relief angle with positive side clearance reduces cutting forces
• 3/64-inch corner radius (0.0472 inches) for general-purpose turning applications
• Flat-top chip breaker for consistent chip evacuation at moderate feeds

Compatibility

Designed for use in clamp-style toolholders accepting ANSI TPG323 or ISO TPGN160312 turning inserts. Compatible with C5, C6, and C7 material grade toolholders. Recommended for machining primary workpiece material codes M (stainless steel) and P (steel).

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Power down and lock out the machine before seating or indexing the insert. Seat the insert fully into the toolholder pocket and torque the clamp screw according to the toolholder manufacturer specification. Inspect the insert seat and clamp for wear or damage before each tool change.
