CCGW 060204 DX140 ISO turning insert — Tungaloy PCD grade for high-speed turning

CCGW 060204 DX140 is an ISO-format turning insert designed for high-speed machining of aluminium, non-ferrous metals and abrasive non-metallic materials; rhombic shape with 80° cutting angle and a 0.4 mm nose radius.

• PCD cutting edge for high cutting speeds
• ISO CCGW 060204 form with 7° clearance
• Rhombic 80° geometry, 0.4 mm nose radius
• Cylindrical hole with single-side countersink 40°–60°

High-speed performance with very long tool life

The insert is equipped with a polycrystalline diamond (PCD) cutting layer bonded to a carbide substrate, enabling very high cutting speeds and exceptional wear resistance when turning aluminium and other non-ferrous materials. The PCD concept combines the hardness and abrasion resistance of diamond with a tough support body; this reduces flank wear and dramatically extends in-process life compared with conventional uncoated carbide grades. For production environments where cycle time and tool-change frequency directly affect output, this solution supports sustained productivity and predictable tool-cost planning.

Reliable geometry and ISO compatibility for process stability

Manufactured to the ISO insert form, the component offers a rhombic 80° geometry with a 0.4 mm nose radius and 7° clearance, which together deliver a balance between chip control and surface finish. The standardised outline ensures compatibility with holders that match form, clearance angle and clamping features; the insert’s cylindrical central hole with a single‑side countersink (40°–60°) supports secure fastening and repeatable seating in indexed tool bodies. This configuration reduces vibration and contributes to consistent dimensional results across batches.

Application guidance and substrate considerations

The DX140 grade is optimised for aluminium, Messing (brass) and abrasive non-metals, providing excellent edge stability and chip behaviour in continuous and semi‑continuous cuts. As a diamond-based grade, the cutting edge excels at producing superior surface finishes at elevated speeds but is not intended for ferrous workpieces due to rapid chemical wear; selection of the appropriate substrate and cutting parameters is essential. Where fine surface integrity and minimal burr formation are priorities, the PCD solution offers clear advantages over conventional coatings.

Economic and operational benefits for production shops

Using a high-performance PCD insert in suitable applications reduces tool-change frequency and downstream rework, improving overall equipment effectiveness. The standard ISO form simplifies inventory and holder selection, while the robust clamping interface minimises indexing errors. These aspects together result in lower unit costs per part and smoother production flow, particularly in high-volume turning of non-ferrous components.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The CCGW 060204 DX140 insert is intended for aluminium, Messing and abrasive non-metallic materials; the PCD cutting edge provides excellent wear resistance on these workpiece types.

Can this insert be used on steel or stainless steel?
No; diamond-based edges such as DX140 are not suitable for ferrous or rostfreier Stahl workpieces due to accelerated chemical wear.

How does the insert fix to a holder?
The insert features a cylindrical central hole with a single-side countersink (40°–60°) to enable secure clamping in compatible ISO holders and ensure repeatable seating.

Is there a chipbreaker on this grade?
This variant is specified without a chipbreaker; chip control must therefore be managed via cutting parameters and holder geometry appropriate for the workpiece material.

What benefits does the PCD cutting edge offer in production?
The PCD edge delivers superior abrasion resistance, improved surface finish at high speeds and significantly extended tool life in non-ferrous machining applications, reducing downtime and tool costs.
