CPGA 090204 BX360 indexable turning insert by Tungaloy — CBN grade for hardened steels, 11° clearance

CPGA090204 BX360 is an ISO-formatted indexable turning insert designed for finishing operations on hardened steels and, depending on selection, certain cast irons

• CBN cutting material for hard machining
• ISO interchangeability for rapid tool setup
• Rhombic shape with 0.4 mm corner radius
• 11° clearance, 80° included angle

High-performance finishing with cubic boron nitride

The BX360 grade utilises CBN (cubic boron nitride) as the cutting material to provide superior wear resistance and thermal stability in the machining of hardened steels. CBN is a superabrasive tailored for high-hardness workpieces: it maintains edge integrity where conventional carbide would wear rapidly. The result is more consistent surface quality and longer intervals between index changes, which supports predictable cycle times and reduces unplanned downtime.

Reliable ISO compatibility for straightforward integration

Built to the ISO turning insert family, this rhombic component guarantees dimensional and tolerance conformity; compatibility with a turning toolholder depends on form, 11° clearance, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The standardised format simplifies tool-pool management and stock rotation, allowing production planners to specify the insert with confidence and to match it with existing holders without ambiguity.

Precision geometry for repeatable surface results

A 0.4 mm corner radius and 80° included angle produce a controlled cutting edge suited to fine finishing passes. The modest radius supports tight dimensional control and a consistently fine surface texture, while the 2.38 mm thickness and secure locating hole ensure stable seating during turning. The rhombic form with a cylindrical hole provides reliable clamping and repeatability, reducing vibration-related variations in finish and dimensional accuracy.

Application guidance and selection strategy

Intended primarily for turning applications on hardened materials, the insert performs best when matched with a holder and machining parameters that reflect part rigidity and cutting conditions. Select the appropriate grade and, where available, a chip former according to workpiece material and process stability; for unstable setups, prefer a more robust clamping arrangement or reduced depths of cut to preserve edge life. For complex assemblies or atypical materials, technical advice is available to align grade choice with productivity goals.

FAQ

What materials is this insert designed to machine?
The CPGA090204 BX360 Tungaloy indexable turning insert is formulated primarily for hardened steels and, depending on the exact grade application, can be used for certain cast irons.

How is compatibility with a toolholder determined?
Compatibility is governed by insert form, clearance angle (11°), tolerance class, fastening method, size (09) and thickness (2.38 mm); the ISO format facilitates matching with standard holders.

What does the BX360 designation indicate?
BX360 denotes the CBN-based grade chosen for high hardness machining; it emphasises wear resistance and thermal stability for finishing cuts on hardened workpieces.

Which edge geometry suits finishing operations?
A 0.4 mm corner radius offers controlled cutting for fine surface finishes and tight dimensional tolerances; pairing this geometry with stable clamping enhances repeatability.

What identifiers should be quoted when ordering?
Use the manufacturer article number 6802378 and SKU 6802378-Tungaloy (manufacturer SKU TUN6802378) when ordering or requesting tooling advice.
