Value Collection 112369906 TPG324 Carbide Turning Insert

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 112369906 is a solid carbide turning insert designed for precision metal cutting on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. Conforming to ANSI insert code TPG324 and ISO insert code TPG160316, this triangular insert features a 60-degree included angle, an 11-degree relief angle, and a positive side clearance geometry. The inscribed circle measures 3/8 inches (0.3752 inches decimal) and the insert thickness is 1/8 inches. A 1/16-inch corner radius (0.0630 inches decimal) provides a balance between edge strength and surface finish. Manufactured in grade I55 carbide with a flat-top chip breaker design, it is suited for ISO material group P workpiece materials. Machinists and CNC operators install this insert in compatible TPG-style toolholders.

This insert is intended for turning applications on steel and ferrous workpiece materials classified under ISO group P. The flat-top, single-sided geometry suits finishing and light roughing passes where controlled chip formation and consistent dimensional accuracy are required. The clamp-style holding method is standard for TPG insert configurations. This insert is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units, making it appropriate for shop restocking or production-volume tooling programs.

Key Features

• ANSI code TPG324, ISO code TPG160316 for straightforward toolholder cross-reference
• Solid carbide grade I55 construction for wear resistance on ferrous materials
• 60-degree triangular shape with positive 11-degree relief angle for reduced cutting forces
• Flat-top chip breaker (code N) for predictable chip control in turning operations
• 1/16-inch corner radius balances edge integrity with achievable surface finish
• Clamp-style insert holding method compatible with standard TPG toolholder bodies

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for TPG324-style solid carbide turning inserts used in clamp-type toolholders accepting TPG (triangular, positive clearance) insert geometry per ANSI and ISO standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or replacing any insert. Seat the insert fully against the toolholder pocket and torque the clamp screw according to the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Inspect the insert seat and clamp for wear or debris before installation to ensure proper seating and edge repeatability.
