TPGW090204 BX360 Tungaloy indexable insert – triangular CBN insert for turning

The TPGW090204 BX360 is a triangular ISO indexable insert designed for external and internal turning, tailored for high-hardness finishing where wear resistance and repeatability are essential.

• ISO TPGW triangular insert BX360
• CBN grade for hardened steels
• 11° clearance angle for stable cutting
• Cylindrical hole with single-sided countersink

Enhanced finishing on hardened materials with CBN technology

The carbide body equipped with cubic boron nitride (CBN) BX360 delivers superior wear resistance in demanding finishing operations on hardened alloys. By using a superabrasive cutting layer, this insert reduces flank wear and maintains a sharp cutting edge for longer periods, which improves process stability and reduces frequency of index changes. The result is a more predictable surface finish and fewer machine stops, so productivity and part conformity increase in high-volume or precision turning environments.

Secure mounting and ISO conformity for rapid tool changes

Compatibility is governed by ISO geometry — form, clearance, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness — ensuring a straightforward match to standard external holders and turning bars. The cylindrical hole with single-sided countersink (40°–60°) provides reliable clamping and repeatable seating, while the 11° clearance angle optimises rake and shear conditions for hardened-steel turning. The ISO-based system setup (insert, external holder or boring bar, shim/clamp and replacement screws) simplifies tool management and reduces setup time, supporting lean production workflows.

Precision finish from geometry and edge preparation

A 0.4 mm corner radius balances strength and fine finishing capability: small enough for tight tolerances yet large enough to withstand interrupted cuts typical in hard turning. The 2.38 mm plate thickness contributes to bending stiffness and stability at the cutting zone, supporting consistent chip formation even without an integrated chipbreaker. For end-of-line finishing and dimension-critical components, this combination yields reduced rework and improved first-pass yield, making it ideal for toolrooms, automotive component producers and gear-manufacturing operations.

Practical selection and process guidance

The insert is intended primarily for turning applications on hardened steels and, depending on the execution, certain cast irons. Select the appropriate holder geometry and cutting parameters to match the workpiece material and machine rigidity; this insert performs best in stable setups with controlled feed and depth of cut, where its CBN grade can deliver maximum economy through extended life and consistent surface integrity. If further process data or cutting parameters are required, Metav Werkzeuge provides application support to determine the optimal combination of holder, clamping and feeds for the specific production task.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert best suited for?
The insert is optimised for hardened steels; the BX360 CBN grade used in this Tungaloy indexable insert provides high wear resistance for finishing operations and, in some executions, can be applied to specific cast-iron variants.

Does the insert require a specific holder type?
Compatibility follows ISO form and dimensions; the triangular TPGW090204 fits holders matching its form, size and thickness and requires the appropriate shim/clamp and screw for secure mounting.

What surface quality can be expected with this geometry?
With a 0.4 mm corner radius and stable clamping, the insert supports fine finishing and consistent surface integrity when paired with correct feeds and machine rigidity.

Is there a chipbreaker included on the insert?
This variant is supplied without a chipbreaker; chip control is managed through machining parameters and holder geometry, making it suited to finishing where precise chip evacuation can be maintained.

How does BX360 compare to conventional grades for hard turning?
The BX360 CBN grade is engineered for prolonged edge life and stable wear in high-hardness applications, offering a process advantage over conventional carbide grades when machining hardened components.
