TPGN 110308 BX360 Tungaloy indexable turning insert – CBN for turning

The TPGN 110308 BX360 indexable insert is designed for precision external and internal turning of hardened steels, offering a robust solution for high-hardness finishing operations.

• CBN grade BX360 for hardened steels
• ISO triangular geometry for stable cutting
• 11° clearance angle for secure chip flow
• 0.8 mm corner radius for fine finishing

Increase throughput on hardened components with a CBN finishing grade

The combination of cubic boron nitride (CBN) cutting material and the BX360 grade delivers high wear resistance where conventional carbide wears prematurely. This insert is optimised for abrasive, hardened-steel finishing, so cycle times can be reduced through higher allowable cutting speeds and longer intervals between tool changes. The indexable geometry reduces setup complexity because replacements maintain the same cutting datum, which supports predictable process planning and improved overall equipment effectiveness.

Streamlined fit-up and repeatable set-up for workshop productivity

Compliance with the ISO designation and the triangular form factor means compatibility is governed by shape, free clearance, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness; matching these parameters ensures secure seating and repeatable performance. The insert is supplied without a hole, which influences clamping method selection and may be preferred for certain external-holder systems. Clear specification of the 11° clearance and the triangular interface simplifies holder selection and reduces trial-and-error during tool qualification, helping maintenance teams and operators to achieve consistent results quickly.

Achieve superior surface finish and extended life through geometry

Fine finishing is supported by the 0.8 mm corner radius and the insert’s consistent rake geometry; a modest corner radius limits cutting forces while still producing a smooth profile on high-hardness components. The 3.18 mm plate thickness and carbide substrate provide mechanical stability under interrupted cuts and steady-state turning alike. When used as intended for finishing hardened steels—and, depending on the variant, for some cast iron applications—the insert offers a reliable balance between precision and durability, helping to protect production schedules and reduce scrap rates.
