TPGW130302 BX360 Tungaloy turning insert — CBN grade, 0.2 mm radius

The TPGW130302 BX360 is an ISO-format turning insert designed for hard turning and wear-intensive finishing operations on hardened steels and, depending on the version, cast iron.

• CBN grade BX360 for hardened steels
• 0.2 mm corner radius for fine finishing
• 11° clearance angle for stable cutting
• Triangular 60° insert with locating hole

Reliable finishing for hardened components

The CBN cutting material BX360 is engineered for high-hardness machining, offering significantly improved wear resistance compared with conventional carbide grades. This makes the insert especially suited to final-pass operations on hardened steels, where dimensional stability and surface integrity are critical. The 0.2 mm corner radius reduces the risk of chatter during finishing and helps achieve a fine surface finish with minimal reworking. Explained simply: CBN is a superabrasive that maintains cutting geometry under high temperatures and abrasive wear, so process stability is enhanced and cycle-time variability is reduced.

Secure fit and ISO compatibility for predictable set-up

Compatibility with a toolholder is determined by shape, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness; the ISO-format design of this triangular insert ensures interchangeability with matching external holders and boring bars. The 60° triangular form and cylindrical hole with single-sided countersink (40°–60°) provide positive location and straightforward clamping in standard ISO seats. With an 11° clearance angle and a plate thickness of 3.18 mm, the geometry supports stable cutting forces and reliable seating, lowering the chance of vibration-related wear and improving repeatability across production batches.

Consistent productivity and clear process advantages

Built from a carbide substrate with a CBN cutting layer, this insert balances toughness and wear resistance to extend operational life in finish machining. The design comes without a chipbreaker, which suits tight-tolerance finishing where chip form must be controlled by cutting parameters and toolpath rather than by aggressive geometry. For production environments focused on repeatable tolerances and surface quality, the predictable performance reduces tool changes and unscheduled downtime. Choosing this solution supports higher first-pass yields and simplifies tool inventory by standardising on ISO-format turning plates.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for? The TPGW130302 BX360 insert uses CBN and is intended primarily for hardened steels and, in certain executions, for cast iron machining.

What are the key geometry values to check for holder compatibility? Check the 60° triangular form, 11° clearance angle, 3.18 mm thickness and 13 mm size when matching the insert to a compatible ISO holder or boring bar.

Does the insert include a chipbreaker? No, this Tungaloy insert is supplied without a chipbreaker, making it suitable for finishing passes where chip control is managed by cutting data and machine strategy.

How does the hole style affect mounting? The cylindrical hole with single-sided countersink (40°–60°) ensures precise location and stable clamping in standard indexable insert seats, simplifying replacement and repeatability.

Can this insert be used for internal as well as external turning? Yes; the ISO-format design and robust CBN cutting layer make it appropriate for both external and internal turning operations, provided the correct holder and process parameters are chosen.
