Value Collection TCN23370A Turning Insert SNG433 TCN55

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION TCN23370A is a solid carbide turning insert designed for precision metal cutting operations on CNC and manual lathes. Manufactured to ANSI Insert Code SNG433 and ISO Insert Code SNG120412, this square-style insert features a TiN (Titanium Nitride) coating that extends tool life by reducing friction and heat buildup at the cutting edge. The inscribed circle measures 0.5 inches (12.70 mm), insert thickness is 0.1875 inches, and the corner radius is 0.0469 inches (3/64 inches). A flat-top chip breaker geometry and negative side clearance make this insert well suited for stable, high-rigidity toolholding setups.

This insert is intended for use in turning, facing, and profiling operations on steel and stainless steel workpiece materials, consistent with its Primary Workpiece Material Codes M and P. The SNG-style, clamp-held configuration fits standard negative-rake square insert toolholders. Machinists working on both light finishing and moderate roughing passes will find the TCN55 grade and TiN coating appropriate for general-purpose turning applications. Sold individually; minimum order quantity is 10 units.

Key Features

• TiN coating improves wear resistance and extends cutting edge life
• ANSI Code SNG433 and ISO Code SNG120412 for straightforward toolholder cross-reference
• 0.5-inch inscribed circle with 0.0469-inch corner radius for consistent dimensional accuracy
• Flat-top chip breaker geometry with negative side clearance for rigid clamping setups
• Solid carbide substrate, Material Grade C5, suited for steel and stainless steel turning
• Clamp-held (Insert Holding Method: Clamp) for secure insert retention during cutting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard insert for negative-rake square SNG-style toolholders accepting ANSI SNG433 or ISO SNG120412 insert geometry.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or replacing any turning insert. Use the appropriate clamp screw torque as specified by the toolholder manufacturer — do not estimate. Inspect the toolholder pocket and clamp for wear or debris before installing a new insert to ensure proper seating and prevent premature edge failure.
