Value Collection ICC83730A Turning Insert TFG322 Carbide

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION ICC83730A is a solid carbide turning insert designed for precision metal cutting on CNC and manual lathes. Manufactured uncoated in a bright finish, it carries ANSI Insert Code TFG322 and ISO Insert Code TFG160308. The insert features a 60-degree triangular shape with a 3/8-inch inscribed circle and a 1/32-inch corner radius. The TFG style uses a clamp-type holding method and provides a positive side clearance geometry with a 25-degree relief angle. Machinists and tooling technicians install this insert into compatible turning toolholders for general-purpose external and internal turning operations.

This insert is suited for turning applications involving cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and high-temperature alloys, as indicated by primary workpiece material codes K, M, N, and S. The solid carbide C2 material grade supports consistent performance at moderate cutting speeds. It is commonly used in production turning environments where an uncoated carbide edge is preferred for non-ferrous and abrasive materials. Tooling is sold individually per package, with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction, uncoated bright finish for sharp, consistent cutting edges
• 60-degree triangular insert shape with ANSI code TFG322 for standard toolholder compatibility
• 3/8-inch inscribed circle with 1/32-inch corner radius for controlled chip geometry
• 25-degree relief angle with positive side clearance for reduced cutting forces
• Clamp-type holding method for secure seating in TFG-style toolholders
• C2 material grade suitable for cast iron, non-ferrous, and superalloy workpieces

Compatibility

Designed to seat in TFG-style clamp-type turning toolholders that accept a 322 ANSI size code insert. Compatible applications are indexed by primary workpiece material codes K, M, N, and S per ISO classification.

Installation Notes

Insert installation and indexing should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician with the machine powered down and locked out per facility LOTO procedures. Use the appropriate torquing tool or clamp screw driver specified by the toolholder manufacturer to secure the insert without over-tightening. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris before seating a new insert. Handle carbide inserts with care to avoid chipping the cutting edge prior to use.
