Value Collection ICP63065B Turning Insert TCMT32.52 ICP22

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION ICP63065B is a solid carbide turning insert designed for precision metal cutting operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. Manufactured to the ANSI insert code TCMT32.52 and ISO insert code TCMT16T308, this insert features an Al2O3 (aluminum oxide) coating in grade ICP22 for improved wear resistance and thermal stability. The triangular shape with a 60-degree included angle provides three usable cutting edges per insert. With a 3/8-inch inscribed circle and a 1/32-inch corner radius, it suits light to moderate turning passes. Licensed machinists and CNC operators install this insert in standard screw-held toolholders.

This insert is suited for turning applications involving non-ferrous and cast materials, consistent with its primary workpiece material codes K and N. The TCMT style with positive side clearance and a 7-degree relief angle reduces cutting forces and helps prevent built-up edge during finishing cuts. It fits standard TCMT-compatible screw-clamping toolholders used in both production and job-shop environments. The ICP22-grade Al2O3 coating extends tool life in moderate-speed, continuous-cut scenarios on materials such as cast iron and aluminum alloys.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with Al2O3 coating in ICP22 grade for thermal and wear resistance
• TCMT insert style with positive side clearance and 7-degree relief angle to reduce cutting forces
• 60-degree triangle shape provides three usable cutting edges per insert
• 1/32-inch (0.0312 inch) corner radius suited for light finishing and moderate roughing passes
• Screw-held mounting method for secure, repeatable edge indexing
• Al2O3 coating performs on primary workpiece material codes K (cast iron) and N (non-ferrous)

Compatibility

Designed for use in TCMT-compatible screw-clamping turning toolholders accepting a 3/8-inch inscribed circle insert. ANSI size code 32.52, ISO size code 16T308.

Installation Notes

Indexing and insert changes should be performed with the machine fully powered down and the spindle at a complete stop. Use the appropriate torque wrench and insert screw specified by the toolholder manufacturer when securing the clamping screw to avoid cracking the carbide substrate. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surface for chips or debris before seating a new edge. Disposal of worn carbide inserts should follow applicable shop safety and local regulations for carbide and coated tool materials.
