TPGT 080204 UX30 Tungaloy turning insert – sharp-edge uncoated carbide, W08 chipbreaker

TPGT080204L-W08 UX30 Tungaloy turning insert designed for general external and internal turning, offering low cutting forces and reliable chip formation for stable machining.

• Sharp cutting edge for low cutting forces
• Uncoated cemented carbide grade UX30
• Triangular 60° geometry for turning operations
• Cylindrical hole with single-sided countersink

Increase throughput with a sharp-edge geometry

The TPGT080204L-W08 is engineered with a sharp cutting edge and a compact 0.4 mm corner radius, reducing cutting forces and enabling smoother material engagement. This geometry suits light to medium interrupted cuts and applications where minimising cutting load is critical. The result is improved productivity through higher feed rates or reduced machine strain, while the sharp edge supports predictable chip formation and easier control of the cutting process.

Secure mounting and predictable repeatability

Compatibility with ISO-standard toolholders is defined by form, clearance, tolerance class, fastening and thickness; the triangular 60° format ensures a stable seating and indexable use. The insert is supplied with a cylindrical locating hole and a single-sided countersink (40°–60°) that aligns with common clamping systems, simplifying replacement and preserving positional repeatability. Clear mechanical interfaces reduce setup time and support consistent component tolerances over batch runs.

Material suitability and chip control for consistent surface quality

Manufactured from cemented carbide (uncoated, UX30) and paired with the W08 chipbreaker, this insert balances low cutting resistance with effective chip segmentation. The combination is particularly suitable when good chip control and surface finish are priorities rather than extreme economies on cutting speeds. In practice, the insert performs well across a broad range of steels and non-ferrous materials where controlled, short chips are beneficial for tool life and machine cleanliness.

Practical application advice and process benefits

Select the UX30 grade when operations require a keen cutting edge and reliable chip formation, especially for finishing or semi-finishing passes. The insert’s 11° clearance angle supports stable cutting geometry and reduces rubbing on the flank face, prolonging usable edge life. When integrated into a matched holder and clamping kit, the system yields repeatable results and predictable tool-change intervals, contributing directly to process stability and reduced scrap rates.
