RCGX120700-T1 TS200 RCGX turning insert by Tungaloy (ISO round, 12 mm)

A RCGX120700-T1 TS200 ISO-format turning insert designed for general external and internal turning, combining a Tungaloy carbide grade with a T1 chipbreaker for predictable chip formation.

• ISO round insert, 12 mm diameter
• TS200 grade for wear resistance
• 7° clearance for secure edge contact
• T1 chipbreaker for controlled chips

Consistent performance from a wear-resistant grade

The TS200 cutting grade is engineered to balance wear resistance and toughness for turning applications. Manufactured in carbide, the indexable plate delivers consistent edge life under varying cutting conditions, reducing unscheduled tool changes. The combination of grade and geometry supports steady metal removal rates and contributes directly to lower machining costs per part by extending service intervals and stabilising surface finish.

Precise geometry for stable chip control and accuracy

With a dedicated T1 chipbreaker and a 7° clearance angle, the insert produces controlled chips and maintains a secure cutting edge contact during both roughing and finishing passes. The ISO-format round plate and its thickness of 7.94 mm provide mechanical rigidity that minimises vibration and improves dimensional repeatability. Clear explanation: a chipbreaker shapes and breaks material flow, while the clearance angle prevents rubbing and reduces tool heat—both factors increase process reliability.

Compatibility and selection guidance for reliable integration

Compatibility with a tool holder depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness; these parameters determine correct seating and clamping. Select the T1 chipbreaker and TS200 grade according to workpiece material, machining strategy and machine stability. For general turning of steels and alloyed materials, the combination of this geometry and grade offers a pragmatic balance between tool life and productivity. Technical enquiries and detailed matching to holders or specific materials are available on request.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The TS200 grade and carbide substrate are intended for turning applications; the RCGX120700-T1 insert is suitable for a broad range of steels and alloyed materials where wear resistance and edge stability are required.

How does the T1 chipbreaker affect machining?
A T1 chipbreaker on the RCGX insert controls chip formation to improve evacuation and reduce the risk of tangling, supporting consistent surface finishes and safer operations.

What determines compatibility with a holder?
Compatibility is governed by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness; the RCGX geometry must match the holder’s specifications for secure clamping.

Is the insert suitable for internal and external turning?
Yes, the ISO-format round plate is designed for both external and internal turning tasks, provided the selected holder and setup accommodate the plate dimensions and clearance.

Which benefit should be prioritised when choosing TS200?
Prioritise wear resistance and edge stability for sustained turning performance; TS200 offers a practical compromise between hardness and toughness for productive machining.
