Value Collection ICT35722A Grooving Insert TNMC32 I55 Carbide

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION ICT35722A is a solid carbide grooving insert in TNMC32 geometry, designed for precise external and internal grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured to Grade I55 with a C5/C6 material grade carbide substrate, this right-hand insert delivers a cutting width of 0.0938 inches (3/32 inch) and supports a maximum depth of cut of 0.151 inches. The solid carbide construction provides the rigidity and wear resistance needed for consistent performance in demanding machining environments. Machinists and toolroom professionals working in production or job-shop settings are the primary users of this insert.

This insert is suited for grooving, parting, and profiling operations on ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials where the C5/C6 carbide grade range applies. It fits standard TNMC-style insert toolholders designed for size 32 inserts with a 3/8-inch inscribed circle. The right-hand orientation suits conventional lathe setups where the cutter engages the workpiece from the operator-facing side. It is not configured as a multi-use tool and is intended for dedicated grooving applications in a single insert seat per holder.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and clamping should be performed by a qualified machinist following the toolholder manufacturer's torque and clamping guidelines. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for wear or damage prior to seating a new insert. Confirm correct insert orientation and hand designation match the programmed tool path before resuming cutting operations.
