Value Collection 112370109 TPG431 Carbide Turning Insert

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 112370109 is a solid carbide turning insert designed for precision metal cutting on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. It follows the TPG431 ANSI insert code and ISO designation TPG220404, making it a standard triangular geometry insert used widely in production and job-shop environments. The insert features a 0.5 inch inscribed circle, a 3/16 inch thickness, and a 1/64 inch corner radius. The flat-top chip breaker geometry and positive side clearance make it well suited for finishing and light roughing passes. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the primary installers of this insert type.

This insert is intended for use in external and internal turning operations on a range of workpiece materials. The primary workpiece material codes listed are K, M, N, and S, covering cast iron, stainless steel, non-ferrous materials, and heat-resistant superalloys. The 60-degree included angle of the triangular insert shape provides three usable cutting edges per insert. Grade I22 carbide construction delivers the hardness and wear resistance expected in production turning applications.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard TPG-style clamp-type turning toolholders accepting a 431 ANSI size code insert. Compatible with workpiece material types K, M, N, and S per the ISO material classification system.

Installation Notes

Insert installation and replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC technician with the machine fully stopped and spindle locked out. Use the appropriate torque wrench and clamping hardware specified by the toolholder manufacturer when seating the insert. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for wear or debris before seating a new insert. Always follow facility safety protocols and machine tool manufacturer guidelines when changing cutting inserts.
