TPGT130304 UX30 ISO turning insert, triangular 60° — Tungaloy

A TPGT130304 UX30 ISO turning insert designed for external and internal turning, featuring an uncoated carbide grade with a sharp cutting edge and a single-sided chipbreaker for stable chip formation.

• ISO triangle insert TPGT130304
• Sharp cutting edge in UX30 uncoated carbide
• Single-sided chipbreaker for stable chips
• 60° included angle, 0.4 mm corner radius

Consistent, low-force cutting for precision turning

The insert delivers a sharp cutting edge intended to reduce cutting forces and improve chip formation in turning operations. As an uncoated carbide grade UX30, it prioritises low-friction engagement and predictable wear behaviour when cutting under moderate to light cutting parameters. The combination of the single-sided chipbreaker and the insert geometry leads to controlled chip evacuation, which helps maintain machining stability and a consistent surface finish during external and internal turning.

Clear compatibility criteria and secure clamping

Compatibility with a toolholder is defined by the insert's shape, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The triangular design with a 60° included angle fits standard ISO triangular holders, while the insert's cylindrical hole with a one-sided countersink (40°–60°) enables screw clamping with a suitable shim or clamp set. Correct seat geometry and fastening torque are essential for repeatable positioning and safe use of the indexable insert in a production environment.

Geometry advantages and recommended machining approach

The 0.4 mm corner radius balances edge strength and the ability to produce fine profiles, making it suitable for finishing and light-medium turning tasks where low cutting forces are required. The 11° clearance angle reduces rubbing, while the 3.18 mm plate thickness provides sufficient rigidity under normal cutting conditions. Choosing an appropriate holder and stable setup enhances the benefits of the insert geometry and promotes tool life through consistent load distribution.

Practical system setup and material considerations

The ISO insert is intended as part of a system that includes the matching outside holder or boring bar, a shim/clamp kit and replacement screws. The grade UX30 is configured for applications where good chip formation and low cutting resistance are priorities; the insert performs best when process parameters and workpiece material are matched to this aim. For optimal results, select the chipbreaker and stability level according to the workpiece and the chosen machining strategy.

FAQ

What is the primary application for this insert?
The TPGT130304 UX30 Tungaloy turning insert is designed primarily for external and internal turning operations where low cutting forces and stable chip control are required.

Which materials is the UX30 grade suited to machine?
The UX30 uncoated carbide grade in the TPGT130304 insert is aimed at applications prioritising good chip formation and reduced cutting resistance; selection of the exact grade and chipbreaker should be matched to the specific workpiece material and machining strategy.

How is the insert secured in the holder?
The TPGT130304 insert uses a cylindrical hole with a one-sided countersink for screw clamping; compatibility depends on matching the insert form, clearance angle, tolerance and thickness to the holder, plus the correct shim or clamp set.

What are the key geometry values and their benefits?
The insert has a 60° included angle, a 0.4 mm corner radius and an 11° clearance angle; these features combine to offer good edge strength, reduced rubbing and predictable surface finish in light to medium turning.

Is the insert coated?
No, the TPGT130304 is supplied as an uncoated carbide insert in grade UX30, providing a sharp cutting edge and reliable performance where low cutting forces are beneficial.
