TPGW 130302 DX120 — Tungaloy indexable turning insert (PCD, triangular, 60°)

The TPGW130302 DX120 is an ISO-standard indexable turning insert with a polycrystalline diamond cutting layer, designed for high-speed external and internal turning of aluminium, non-ferrous metals and abrasive non-metals.

• PCD grade DX120 for non-ferrous materials
• Triangular form with 60° cutting angle
• 0.2 mm corner radius for fine profiling
• Cylindrical hole with single-sided countersink 40°–60°

Increased productivity through high-speed PCD cutting

The combination of a PCD cutting layer and the specialised DX120 grade enables substantially elevated cutting speeds compared with conventional carbide inserts. This results in shorter cycle times and more consistent production flow when machining aluminium and other non-ferrous materials. The insert’s design focuses on predictable wear behaviour and extended service intervals, which reduces tool change frequency and contributes to a measurable improvement in process economy.

Precise geometry for reliable component quality

The triangular insert geometry with a nominal 60° cutting angle and a 0.2 mm corner radius delivers repeatable edge engagement and stable contact conditions. The 11° clearance angle and a plate thickness of 3.18 mm ensure secure seating in ISO holders and support high cutting forces without compromising surface finish. Compatibility with the clamping system is determined by form, free angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness, so correct holder selection is essential for optimal performance.

Designed for demanding non-ferrous and abrasive applications

The TPGW130302 DX120 excels on materials that benefit from a diamond cutting edge: pure aluminium alloys, copper and brass alloys, as well as abrasive composites and certain non-metallics. The polycrystalline diamond substrate provides excellent abrasion resistance and a consistently sharp cutting edge, resulting in superior surface quality and longer tool life compared with conventional geometries. Where fine finishes and reduced burr formation are required, this insert provides decisive advantages.

Practical system considerations and mounting

The insert is supplied in an ISO-standard format and is intended to be used together with a compatible external holder or boring bar, plus a supporting shim/clamping set and replacement screws. The hole design—cylindrical with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°)—facilitates secure clamping and accurate seating. Since the cutting layer and substrate interact closely, pay attention to torque settings and contact seating during assembly to preserve insert life and ensure repeatable manufacturing quality.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The Tungaloy TPGW130302 DX120 insert is designed primarily for aluminium, other non-ferrous metals and abrasive non-metallic materials where a PCD cutting edge offers superior wear resistance.

Is the insert compatible with standard ISO holders?
Yes, the insert follows ISO dimensions and seating features; compatibility depends on matching form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness to the chosen holder.

Why choose DX120 over conventional carbide grades?
DX120’s polycrystalline diamond cutting layer provides improved abrasion resistance and longer tool life on suitable materials, delivering better surface finish and reduced regrinding compared with conventional carbide grades.

Does this insert include a chipbreaker?
No — the insert is supplied without a chipbreaker, so chip evacuation must be managed through cutting parameters and appropriate holder/geometry selection.

How does the hole and countersink affect mounting?
The cylindrical hole with a 40°–60° single-sided countersink provides secure clamping and precise seating; correct torque and clamp setup are important to maintain repeatable performance.
