Value Collection ICP65110J Turning Insert TPMT32.52 TCN55

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION ICP65110J is a solid carbide turning insert designed for precision metal cutting on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. Carrying the ANSI insert code TPMT32.52 and ISO insert code TPMT16T308, this insert features a triangular shape with a 60-degree included angle and an 11-degree positive relief angle. The substrate is solid carbide coated with TiN (titanium nitride), which improves surface hardness and extends cutting life. With a 3/8-inch inscribed circle and a 1/32-inch corner radius, it is suited for general-purpose turning operations where dimensional accuracy and edge integrity matter. Installation is by screw-holding method.

This insert is intended for use in turning applications on workpiece materials classified under primary material codes M and P, covering stainless steels, carbon steels, and alloy steels. The TPMT style, positive side clearance, and chip breaker designation T make it appropriate for medium-duty finishing and semi-finishing cuts on both manual and CNC turning equipment. It fits standard TPMT-compatible insert pockets and toolholders. This item is sold individually but must be ordered in multiples of 10.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with TiN coating for improved wear resistance and tool life
• ANSI code TPMT32.52 and ISO code TPMT16T308 for straightforward toolholder matching
• 60-degree triangular insert shape provides three usable cutting edges per insert
• Positive 11-degree relief angle reduces cutting forces on the workpiece
• Screw-holding method ensures secure, repeatable insert seating
• Chip breaker style T supports controlled chip formation during finishing passes

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard TPMT-style screw-clamp toolholders accepting a 3/8-inch inscribed circle triangular insert. Verify toolholder pocket geometry and tolerance code M compliance before installation.

Installation Notes

Insert replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to seat the clamping screw to toolholder manufacturer specifications — do not overtighten, as this can fracture the carbide insert body. Inspect the insert pocket for debris or wear before seating a new insert.
