Value Collection 112370106 TPG431 Carbide Turning Insert

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 112370106 is a solid carbide turning insert designed for precision external and internal turning operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. Conforming to ANSI insert code TPG431 and ISO insert code TPG220404, this insert features a 60-degree triangular shape with a positive side clearance and a flat-top chip breaker configuration. The grade I55 carbide substrate, classified under material grades C5 and C6, suits a range of metal-cutting applications. With a 1/2-inch inscribed circle and a 1/64-inch corner radius, the insert is sized for moderate to light finishing and semi-finishing cuts. Licensed machinists and CNC operators install this insert as part of a toolholder assembly requiring a clamp-style holding method.

This insert is suited for turning operations on workpieces classified under primary material code P, which corresponds to steels and similar ferrous materials. The TPG-style insert with positive relief geometry reduces cutting forces and is commonly used in production turning environments where consistent chip control and surface finish are priorities. The flat-top geometry makes it appropriate for light to medium depths of cut in both residential shop and industrial production settings.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction in grades C5 and C6 for steel-cutting applications
• 60-degree triangular insert shape (T) with positive side clearance for reduced cutting forces
• 1/2-inch inscribed circle with 3/16-inch insert thickness for stable toolholder seating
• 1/64-inch corner radius suited for semi-finishing and light finishing operations
• Flat-top chip breaker design with clamp-style insert holding method
• ANSI code TPG431 and ISO code TPG220404 for cross-reference compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-supply insert for TPG431-compatible clamp-style turning toolholders accepting a 60-degree triangular carbide insert with a 1/2-inch inscribed circle.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinist or CNC tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Seat the insert fully into the toolholder pocket before tightening the clamp to manufacturer torque specifications for the toolholder. Inspect the insert seat and clamp for wear or debris that could cause insert movement during cutting.
