TPGW130304 DX140 indexable insert for Turning — Tungaloy

TPGW130304 DX140 is an ISO‑standard triangular indexable insert designed for turning aluminium, non‑ferrous metals and abrasive non‑metallic materials.

• Triangular 60° insert for turning
• Polycrystalline diamond (PCD) DX140 grade
• Long tool life at high cutting speeds
• Cylindrical hole with single‑side countersink

High productivity for non‑ferrous machining

The TPGW130304 DX140 indexable insert combines a polycrystalline diamond (PCD) cutting layer with a robust substrate to deliver markedly higher productivity when machining aluminium and other non‑ferrous alloys. The DX140 grade is formulated to tolerate elevated cutting speeds while maintaining a stable cutting edge, which results in long tool life and fewer indexings. For volume production this translates into a lower cost per part and less downtime for insert changes, while preserving consistent dimensional accuracy and surface quality.

Precise geometry for reliable chip control and fitment

The triangular 60° form with a 0.4 mm nose radius and 11° clearance angle offers a balance between edge strength and finish capability. The insert’s dimensional data (inscribed circle 13 mm, thickness 3.18 mm) and the cylindrical hole with single‑side countersink (40°–60°) ensure straightforward seating in ISO holders. Because compatibility to the holder depends on form, relief, tolerance class, fastening and thickness, this ISO‑compliant geometry supports reliable clamping and repeatable positioning, reducing vibration and improving process stability on both external and internal turning operations.

Reduced wear and consistent surface integrity

Using PCD cutting material for abrasive or gummy non‑ferrous workpieces minimises built‑up edge and abrasion, delivering superior surface finish and extended cutting intervals. The absence of an integrated chipbreaker must be considered when planning the machining strategy: for many aluminium alloys a simple toolpath and moderate feed give clean chips, but if chip control is critical, select an appropriate chip‑controlling holder or a variant with a dedicated chipbreaker. Overall, the combination of the DX140 grade and ISO geometry improves repeatability and lowers manufacturing variability.

System approach and practical handling

The insert is intended for use as part of a system: indexable insert, suitable external holder or boring bar, a shim/clamping kit and replacement screws. Keeping spare holders, a clamping kit and spare screws to hand reduces machine downtime and keeps changeovers swift. The insert’s ISO standard designation simplifies procurement and inventory management across multiple machines and centres, while the clear indication of grade and geometry supports correct tool selection for specific materials and stability conditions.

FAQ

Which materials are best suited to this insert?
The TPGW130304 DX140 indexable insert is optimised for aluminium, other non‑ferrous metals and abrasive non‑metallic materials thanks to its polycrystalline diamond cutting material and DX140 grade.

Can the insert be used at very high cutting speeds?
Yes, the DX140 PCD grade is designed for high cutting speeds, enabling longer tool life and improved productivity when machining suitable materials.

How is compatibility with toolholders ensured?
Compatibility is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness; the ISO‑standard geometry of this insert facilitates correct seating in matching holders.

Is a chipbreaker integrated in this insert?
No, this insert is specified without a chipbreaker; chip control should be managed via toolpath strategy or a holder with chip‑control features if required.

What components complete the system for mounting?
A matched external holder or boring bar, a shim/clamping kit and replacement screws are the recommended accompanying components for secure and repeatable mounting.
