TPGA110304 BX360 — Tungaloy triangular turning insert, CBN grade for hardened-steel finishing

The TPGA110304 BX360 is an ISO triangular turning insert designed for precision external and internal turning of hardened steels and, depending on the application, cast iron.

• CBN grade BX360 for hardened steels
• ISO TPGA triangular insert form
• 0.4 mm corner radius for fine finishes
• 11° clearance angle for secure cutting
• Supplied without chipbreaker

High-performance CBN for wear-intensive finishing

The core advantage of the insert is its CBN cutting material, BX360, which delivers exceptional wear resistance on high-hardness components. Where conventional tools wear quickly, this grade keeps the cutting edge stable, enabling longer uninterrupted cycles and more consistent part geometry. The combination of CBN and a carbide substrate provides thermal stability and abrasion resistance, which translates into a measurable improvement in process reliability for hard-turning applications.

Geometry tailored for precision and surface quality

The insert’s geometry—TPGA triangular form with an included angle of 60°, an inscribed circle of 11 mm, a 0.4 mm corner radius and 3.18 mm thickness—is engineered for reproducible clamping and repeatable machining results. The 11° clearance prevents rubbing and reduces cutting forces, helping to achieve a superior surface finish and minimised tool deflection. These defined dimensions support predictable tool life and make component set-up faster in production environments.

Process benefits and recommended use cases

Optimised for finishing and hard-turning, this grade excels in applications where dimensional accuracy and surface integrity are paramount. The absence of an integrated chipbreaker means the insert is intended for stable set-ups and controlled cutting conditions; choose a compatible holder and cutting parameters to match material, operation and machine rigidity. The result is efficient material removal with reduced rework and a consistent finish on hardened steels.

System compatibility and handling guidance

Compatibility with toolholders depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness; the insert is supplied with a cylindrical hole for positive clamping. Typical system components include the ISO triangular insert itself, the appropriate external holder or boring bar, a shim/clip and replacement clamping screw. For secure integration, verify holder geometry and torque settings and select the correct grade and chip control strategy for the component material and operation.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert suitable for?
The TPGA110304 BX360 insert is designed primarily for hardened steels and can be used for certain cast-iron applications depending on the workpiece and cutting conditions.

What advantages does BX360 CBN offer over conventional carbide inserts?
BX360 CBN provides superior wear resistance and thermal stability on hard materials, resulting in longer tool life and more consistent surface quality compared with conventional carbide grades.

How does the insert clamp into standard holders?
Clamping depends on form, clearance, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness; the TPGA110304 has a cylindrical hole for positive fixing and requires a matching ISO TPGA holder or boring bar.

Is there a chipbreaker fitted on this insert?
This insert is supplied without a chipbreaker; chip control should be managed via holder geometry, cutting parameters or a chosen chip-control insert style where required.

What key dimensions should be checked before ordering holders?
Verify the inscribed circle (11 mm), thickness (3.18 mm), corner radius (0.4 mm) and clearance angle (11°) to ensure correct holder compatibility with the TPGA110304.
