Value Collection TCN13340L Turning Insert TPU433 TCN55

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION TCN13340L is a solid carbide turning insert designed for metal cutting operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. Carrying the ANSI code TPU433 and ISO code TPU220412, this triangular insert features a TiN (titanium nitride) coating over a C5 carbide substrate for improved wear resistance and heat management during continuous turning passes. The 60-degree triangle geometry with a positive side clearance and flat-top chip breaker suits a broad range of turning applications at production volumes. Each insert weighs approximately 0.029 pounds.

This insert is suited for turning stainless steel and steel workpieces, consistent with its primary workpiece material codes M and P. The flat-top chip breaker geometry and positive clearance angle make it appropriate for medium to finishing cuts in both light production and job-shop environments. The clamp-style holding method requires a compatible toolholder with a TPU-style seat. Licensed machinists and CNC operators in manufacturing, maintenance, and tool-and-die shops are the typical end users.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with TiN coating for extended tool life on steel and stainless workpieces
• 60-degree triangular insert shape (ANSI style TPU) with positive side clearance for reduced cutting forces
• 1/2 inch inscribed circle for rigid clamping and stable depth-of-cut performance
• 3/64 inch corner radius for general-purpose finishing and medium turning passes
• Flat-top chip breaker design minimizes chip interference during continuous cutting
• Clamp-style insert holding compatible with standard TPU toolholder seats

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard production insert for toolholders with a TPU-style clamp seat accepting a triangular insert with a 1/2 inch inscribed circle and 3/16 inch insert thickness.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC setup technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing any cutting insert. Confirm the toolholder pocket and clamping screw are clean and free of chips before inserting. Do not exceed the toolholder manufacturer's recommended depth-of-cut or feed rate for the insert geometry being used.
