TPGN110304 DX140 Tungaloy indexable turning insert — PCD grade for high-speed aluminium and non-ferrous machining, 60° triangular geometry

The TPGN110304 DX140 is an ISO-standard indexable turning insert designed for external and internal turning of aluminium, non-ferrous metals and abrasive non-metals, offering high cutting speeds and extended wear life.

• PCD grade DX140 for long life
• Optimised for aluminium and non-ferrous metals
• 60° triangular geometry for versatile turning
• 0.4 mm corner radius for precise profiles

Faster cycle times with PCD technology and optimised geometry

The combination of PCD cutting material and the DX140 grade enables consistently higher cutting speeds compared with conventional carbide tips, which reduces cycle times in serial production. Polycrystalline diamond is a sintered, extremely hard cutting layer bonded to a carbide substrate, offering excellent abrasion resistance; this translates into fewer tool changes and predictable batch output. The 60° triangular form provides versatile cutting edges for different turning tasks, while the 0.4 mm corner radius supports accurate profile reproduction and surface finish.

Predictable wear behaviour and process stability for economic machining

Longer service intervals are achieved through the PCD's resistance to abrasive wear and the DX140 formulation's focus on non-ferrous materials. The result is stable metal removal rates and reduced flank wear, which improve overall process reliability. For workshops processing aluminium castings or high-volume aluminium components, this insert reduces downtime and contributes to a lower cost per part by extending effective tool life and maintaining surface quality over longer runs.

Straightforward integration into ISO holders and secure clamping

The insert is made to ISO dimensions and must be matched to an appropriate holder by form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. With a plate thickness of 3.18 mm and a size designation of 11 mm, the geometry is compatible with common triangular turning holders. The 11° relief angle aids chip control and prevents rubbing on the tool flank, while the absence of a fixing hole means standard clamp or wedge systems are needed—this ensures a rigid connection and repeatable positioning during index changes.

Practical selection and handling guidance to protect performance

For best results select a chipbreaker and grade that match the workpiece, machining parameters and rigidity of the setup; while the insert works well for external and internal turning, matching holder rigidity and feed rates to the PCD material is essential to avoid impact loads. The cutting edges deliver superior finish on aluminium and non-ferrous components, but abrasive non-metallic inclusions can accelerate wear; therefore, assess material cleanliness before long-run production. For tailored recommendations on holder selection and cutting data, Metav Werkzeuge advisors are available to provide technical assistance and documentation.
