Manufactured to TCMT geometry with a 60-degree triangular shape, it features a 3\/8-inch inscribed circle and a 1\/64-inch corner radius. The C6GC carbide grade and positive side clearance make this insert well suited for finish to semi-finish turning of steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials. Screw-style holding secures the insert firmly in standard TCMT toolholders. Licensed machinists and CNC operators working in production or job-shop environments install this type of insert as a direct consumable replacement during routine tooling changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert fits standard TCMT-style toolholders common in both production and job-shop turning applications. The ANSI insert code is TCMT32.51 and the ISO insert code is TCMT16T304, allowing cross-reference with toolholder catalogs from most major manufacturers. It is suited for moderate to high cutting speeds in ferrous machining where a positive-clearance geometry reduces cutting forces and heat buildup at the edge. The chip breaker designation T provides controlled chip evacuation during continuous turning passes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction in grade C6GC for durability in ferrous turning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e60-degree triangular insert shape with positive side clearance (clearance code C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch (0.3750-inch) inscribed circle for stable tool engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/64-inch (0.0156-inch) corner radius for finish and semi-finish turning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrew-type holding method compatible with standard TCMT toolholder pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eT-style chip breaker for controlled chip flow during continuous cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a replacement-style turning insert for standard TCMT toolholders accepting ANSI code TCMT32.51 or ISO code TCMT16T304 insert geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a machinist or CNC tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing any insert. Seat the insert fully in the toolholder pocket and tighten the clamping screw to the toolholder manufacturer's specified torque before resuming cutting operations. Inspect the insert seat and clamping hardware for wear or debris before installing a new insert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: TCMT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: T - Triangle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 60 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInscribed Circle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch (0.3750 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/32 inch (0.1560 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/64 inch (0.0156 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelief Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSide Clearance\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positive\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: C6GC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Holding Method\u003c\/strong\u003e: Screw\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: T\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTolerance Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: M\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClearance Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: C\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eANSI Insert Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: TCMT32.51\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISO Insert Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: TCMT16T304\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23242105\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: TC16GC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51696936812850,"sku":"TC16GC","price":426.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ed9fdb629792758828f2d3ef07fe0c99.jpg?v=1788347778","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-tc16gc-carbide-turning-insert-3-8-in-tcmt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
