TPGA TPGA090202 BX360 indexable turning insert by Tungaloy — for turning

TPGA090202 BX360 is an ISO‑compliant indexable insert conceived for turning applications, optimised for wear‑intensive finishing on hardened steels and, depending on grade, cast iron.

• CBN grade BX360 for hardened steels and cast iron
• ISO triangle insert TPGA090202, 60° cutting angle
• 0.2 mm corner radius for fine finishing
• Cylindrical-hole insert, 2.38 mm thickness

Precision finishing for hardened components

The BX360 grade employs CBN as the cutting material, delivering superior wear resistance and consistent edge integrity in high‑hardness applications. As an ISO‑standard triangular insert, the TPGA090202 combines the geometric stability of a 60° cutting angle with a substrate of cemented carbide, enabling fine finishing passes where surface quality and repeatability matter. For shops aiming to reduce rework and maintain cycle‑time stability, the CBN composition reduces flank wear and preserves cutting geometry over longer tool life, supporting a reliable production flow while keeping setup changes minimal.

Stable machining and straightforward holder compatibility

Designed for secure clamping, the insert features a cylindrical hole and defined tolerance dimensions so that fitment to matched holders is determined by form, clearance angle 11°, tolerance class, fastening and plate thickness. The moderate corner radius of 0.2 mm and 2.38 mm plate thickness provide a balance between edge strength and accurate finish capability, especially on small‑to‑medium workpieces. Where operators require predictable chip control, note that this version is supplied without a chipbreaker, making it suitable for stable setups and light finishing cuts where controlled, continuous chips and surface integrity take priority.

Selection guidance and application benefits

For turning hardened components, selecting the right grade is crucial: the BX360 CBN option is intended for hard and wear‑prone materials, offering pronounced benefits in end‑of‑line finishing and dimensional accuracy. The triangular plate form gives three usable edges per index, improving economy in high‑mix production, while the cylindrical hole and standard ISO sizing mean rapid replacement and minimal downtime. If a different chip geometry is required, alternative grades and chipbreaker styles should be considered to match material, cut depth and machine stability; Metav Werkzeuge can assist with grade matching and process parameters to achieve the required surface finish and component tolerances.

FAQ

What materials is this insert designed to machine?
The TPGA090202 BX360 insert is formulated with CBN and is intended primarily for hardened steels and, in some executions, for cast iron according to the grade specification.

How does the insert secure to a holder?
Compatibility is achieved by matching the TPGA geometry, clearance angle 11°, tolerance class, fastening method, plate size and thickness to the corresponding ISO‑compliant holder.

Is there a chipbreaker included with this grade?
This TPGA090202 BX360 variant is supplied without a chipbreaker, making it suitable for stable finishing passes and setups where chip control is managed by cutting conditions.

How many edges are available per insert and what is the intended use?
The triangular plate form provides three usable edges; the design is optimised for wear‑intensive finishing and precise dimensional control on hardened components.

Can the TPGA090202 BX360 handle roughing operations?
The BX360 CBN grade is optimised for finishing and hard materials; roughing strategies typically require different grades or geometries better suited to heavy stock removal.
