TPGW130304 BX360 Tungaloy — ISO triangular turning insert, CBN grade for hard turning

The TPGW130304 BX360 Tungaloy is an ISO-standard triangular turning insert designed for finishing and wear‑intensive turning of hardened steels and, where applicable, cast iron.

• ISO triangular insert TPGW130304 BX360
• Cubic boron nitride (CBN) grade for hardened steels
• 60° geometry, 3.18 mm thickness, 0.4 mm corner radius
• Countersunk centre hole for secure clamping

Reliable cutting performance for hardened materials

The insert is manufactured with a cubic boron nitride (CBN) cutting face in the BX360 grade, providing high abrasion resistance for end‑finish operations on hardened steel. CBN is an engineered superabrasive that maintains edge integrity where conventional carbide wears rapidly; this results in more consistent surface quality and predictable tool life during finishing passes. The composition and grade selection mean fewer regrinds and controlled dimensional stability when working at the high hardness range intended for this grade.

ISO geometry and secure clamping for plug‑and‑play use

Built to ISO geometry, the triangular shape with a 60° included angle and 3.18 mm plate thickness ensures compatibility with a wide range of ISO turning holders. The insert features a central cylindrical hole with a one‑sided countersink (40°–60°), enabling reliable clamping and repeatable seating in standard clamping systems. Because compatibility depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness, this ISO conformity simplifies holder matching and reduces setup time in production environments.

Precise edge form for finishing and tight tolerances

A corner radius of 0.4 mm provides a compromise between edge strength and fine surface generation, making this insert suitable for finishing passes where dimensional accuracy and surface integrity are priorities. The grade is supplied without a chipbreaker, which allows experienced programmers and operators to choose cutting parameters and external chip control to suit part geometry and machine stability. The carbide substrate supports the CBN layer and contributes to secure brazing and heat resistance during medium to high cutting temperature conditions.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The TPGW130304 BX360 Tungaloy insert (SKU 6809010-Tungaloy) is primarily intended for machining hardened steels and, depending on the execution, can be applied to cast iron in finishing operations.

How does the 60° geometry affect holder compatibility?
The 60° triangular geometry is ISO standard; compatibility with holders is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness, allowing straightforward matching to ISO‑compliant turning toolholders.

Is there a chipbreaker on the insert?
This grade is supplied without a chipbreaker, which permits flexible choice of cutting parameters and external chip control suited to the workpiece and machine setup.

What does BX360 mean and why choose CBN?
BX360 denotes the CBN grade optimised for high hardness and abrasive wear resistance; CBN is selected where conventional carbide fails to retain edge life on hardened materials, providing stable finishes and reduced tool change frequency.

How is the insert clamped in the holder?
Clamping is achieved via the central cylindrical hole with a one‑sided countersink (40°–60°), ensuring secure seating and repeatable positioning in compatible clamping systems.
