TPGW 16T304 BX360 — Tungaloy triangular CBN insert for turning (TurnTenFeed)

A TPGW16T304 BX360 Tungaloy indexable insert engineered for high‑feed turning and productive roughing under stable clamping conditions.

• CBN grade BX360 for hardened steels
• Designed for high‑feed roughing
• Triangular insert with 60° cutting angle
• Hole with cylindrical bore and countersink

Productive roughing with a wear‑resistant cutting grade

The BX360 grade is a CBN‑based cutting material developed for demanding finishing and semi‑finishing of hardened steels. Its high abrasion resistance enables longer cutting intervals and consistent edge condition during extended runs, which directly improves process stability and reduces tool change frequency. Used within the TurnTenFeed family, this insert supports high‑feed turning strategies where high material removal rates and controlled heat generation are priorities. The result is a reproducible, economic roughing operation on hardened workpieces without compromising component integrity.

Stable geometry for secure clamping and consistent chip formation

A triangular plate form with a 60° included angle and a corner radius of 0.4 mm provides a robust cutting edge well suited to aggressive approach angles used in heavy roughing. The insert’s 3.97 mm thickness and the central mounting hole with a cylindrical bore plus a single‑side countersink (40°–60°) ensure reliable fixation in compatible holders, reducing the risk of movement under elevated cutting forces. This geometry promotes steady tool behaviour and a predictable cut, which simplifies process planning and fixture requirements.

Clear material compatibility and application focus

Primarily engineered for hardened steels, the cutting grade can also be supplied in executions suitable for cast iron where specified. The insert is free of an integrated chipbreaker, a configuration that favours chip flow and stability in high‑feed roughing when paired with suitable coolant and chip evacuation strategies. As an indexable solution, it allows rapid replacement of worn tips with minimal downtime, supporting continuous production in workshops and machining centres focused on batch runs or series production.

System integration and operational benefits

As part of the TurnTenFeed modular system, the insert is intended for use with matched toolholders and spare parts to build a productive machining setup. The indexable format reduces inventory complexity compared with solid tools, while the CBN cutting edge provides repeatable performance for wear‑intensive finishing stages. For engineering teams seeking to raise throughput on hardened components, this insert offers a balance of process reliability, straightforward handling and material‑specific performance that supports predictable cycle times and surface quality.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The TPGW16T304 BX360 insert is designed primarily for hardened steels and, depending on the chosen execution, can be used for cast iron as well; the BX360 CBN grade delivers wear resistance for abrasive, high‑hardness applications.

How does the BX360 grade differ from carbide alternatives?
BX360 is a CBN cutting material optimised for high wear resistance on hardened steels; compared with conventional carbide tips, BX360 maintains cutting edge integrity longer when machining high‑hardness workpieces.

Which tool system fits this insert?
This insert belongs to the TurnTenFeed family and is intended for use with compatible holders from that system; the central hole with countersink secures the plate reliably in standard indexable turning toolholders.

Is there a chipbreaker on the insert?
The insert is supplied without a chipbreaker, a configuration that suits controlled high‑feed roughing when combined with appropriate coolant and chip evacuation measures.

What are the key dimensions to check for retrofit?
Important measurements are the insert size (16 mm), thickness (3.97 mm), corner radius (0.4 mm) and the 60° geometry; confirming these values ensures proper seating and cutting geometry in the chosen holder.
