CCGW 09T304 DX160 Tungaloy indexable turning insert — PCD grade for high-speed aluminium turning

CCGW 09T304 DX160 Tungaloy indexable turning insert designed for high-speed external and internal turning of aluminium and non-ferrous materials.

• PCD grade DX160 for long tool life
• Optimised for aluminium and non-ferrous alloys
• ISO rhombic form 09 for versatile turning
• Central hole and countersink for secure clamping

Precision for fast, repeatable aluminium machining

The PCD cutting layer in the DX160 grade delivers consistently low wear when machining non-ferrous materials, translating into long tool life and fewer insert changes during batch production. On a carbide substrate, the diamond cutting edge maintains a sharp profile across long runs, which reduces downtime and improves process stability. For shops aiming to increase throughput on aluminium parts, this insert provides the high cutting speeds and abrasion resistance that support predictable cycle times without compromising surface finish.

Compatibility and secure clamping for industrial setups

As an ISO-series, rhombic insert in size 09, the geometry is compatible with standard turning holders when matching form, relief angle, tolerance class, fixing and thickness are observed. The central hole with a cylindrical bore and a one-sided countersink (40°–60°) ensures secure clamping and repeatable positioning in compatible toolholders. Attention to the specified 7° relief angle and the 3.97 mm thickness helps avoid improper seating; correct holder choice preserves edge life and machining accuracy, especially in interrupted cuts or less rigid setups.

Practical benefits for production and tool selection

Using a PCD grade tailored for aluminium and abrasive non-metals minimises built-up edge and improves surface integrity on cast and wrought non-ferrous components. The insert’s lack of a chipbreaker suits stable, continuous feeds where chip control is managed by tool geometry and process parameters. The 0.4 mm corner radius delivers a balance between edge strength and surface finish; selecting a larger radius increases robustness, whereas a smaller radius favours finer finishes. For general turning needs, this grade reduces overall tooling costs by extending service intervals and lowering scrap rates.

Setup guidance and process reliability

To achieve the advertised benefits, configure the turning system with a holder that matches the ISO rhombic form and the insert thickness; set cutting speeds appropriate for PCD on aluminium and ensure rigid workholding. The combination of a carbide substrate and the PCD cutting layer makes the insert particularly suitable for high-speed, high-volume applications where consistency is critical. For ambiguous cases—such as machining abrasive composites or mixed-material batches—consult machining data sheets or Metav Werkzeuge’s technical advisors to adapt feeds and speeds for optimal edge life.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The CCGW 09T304 DX160 insert from Tungaloy is designed primarily for aluminium, other non-ferrous metals and abrasive non-metals, leveraging the PCD cutting edge for long life.

How does the DX160 grade improve production?
DX160 provides a hard, wear-resistant PCD edge that sustains high cutting speeds and extends in-service time, reducing insert changes and improving throughput for turning operations.

Which holder features are required for safe use?
A holder matching the rhombic ISO form, correct tolerance class, fixing method and the 3.97 mm thickness is required; the central hole and countersink ensure secure clamping when the holder is compatible.

Is there a chipbreaker on this insert?
This variant is supplied without a chipbreaker, making it suitable for continuous-feed turning where chip control is managed by geometry and process parameters.

Can the insert be used for internal turning?
Yes, the insert is suitable for both external and internal turning, provided the holder and rigidity of the setup match the application demands.
