Value Collection TCN83610D Turning Insert TEGE731 TCN55

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION TCN83610D is a solid carbide turning insert with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating, designed for precision metal cutting in CNC and manual lathe operations. It carries ANSI insert code TEGE731 and ISO insert code TEGE090204. The insert features a 60-degree triangle shape with a positive side clearance and a 20-degree relief angle. With an inscribed circle of 7/32 inches (0.2188 inches) and a corner radius of 1/64 inches (0.0156 inches), this insert is suited for light to medium turning passes requiring a sharp, defined cutting edge. Installation and replacement are handled by machining professionals in metalworking and production environments.

This insert is intended for turning applications on workpiece materials classified under primary material codes M and P, which correspond to stainless steels and carbon or alloy steels. The TEGE insert style with clamp holding method fits standard insert toolholders designed for triangular inserts with the corresponding pocket geometry. The TCN55 grade with TiN coating provides wear resistance suitable for general-purpose turning at moderate cutting speeds. Typical applications include external turning, facing, and profiling operations on ferrous metals in job shop and production settings.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with TiN coating for extended wear resistance on steel and stainless steel
• 60-degree triangle insert shape (T) with positive side clearance for reduced cutting forces
• ANSI insert code TEGE731 and ISO insert code TEGE090204 for straightforward toolholder matching
• 1/64 inch (0.0156 inch) corner radius for defined edge geometry on finish and semi-finish passes
• Clamp holding method compatible with standard TEGE-style insert pockets
• Material grade C5 suitable for general-purpose machining of steel and stainless workpieces

Compatibility

Designed for use in toolholders and insert pockets configured for TEGE-style triangular turning inserts with ANSI size code 731 and ISO size code 090204. No specific compatible model numbers were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Turning insert replacement is performed by qualified machinists following standard lockout and machine-stop procedures before accessing the toolholder. Ensure the insert pocket and clamping surfaces are clean and free of chips before seating the insert. Use the appropriate torque wrench and clamping hardware specified by the toolholder manufacturer. Do not exceed the depth-of-cut or feed rate limits recommended for the TCN55 grade and workpiece material combination.
