TCMT 080202 DX120 indexable insert for Turning — Tungaloy, PCD

The TCMT080202-DIA DX120 is an ISO‑standard triangular indexable insert with a PCD cutting edge, designed for high‑speed external and internal turning of aluminium, non‑ferrous metals and abrasive non‑metal materials

• PCD grade DX120 for high cutting speeds
• Extended tool life and wear resistance
• ISO-standard triangular form for easy indexing
• Cylindrical hole with countersink for secure clamping

Faster cycle times through PCD technology

The combination of polycrystalline diamond (PCD) cutting material and the DX120 grade makes this insert especially suited for rapid machining of soft, abrasive and non‑ferrous materials. PCD provides a very hard, wear‑resistant cutting edge that maintains geometry over long runs, which results in reduced downtime and more parts produced per tool life interval. For production environments seeking reliable productivity gains, the insert’s ability to sustain elevated cutting speeds translates directly into shorter cycle times and improved throughput.

Predictable economy with extended intervals between changes

By offering long tool life and stable wear behaviour, the indexable insert lowers the frequency of tool changes and the associated setup time. The DX120 grade resists abrasive wear typical when machining aluminium alloys containing fillers or other abrasive inclusions, so component cost per cut becomes more predictable. Where quality and repeatability matter, the reduced variation in edge condition helps sustain surface finish and tolerances across batches without frequent requalification.

Stable clamping and ISO compatibility for consistent results

Manufactured to ISO dimensions, the insert’s triangular form and standardised geometry ensure compatibility with a wide range of external holders and boring bars. Key dimensions include a 0.2 mm nose radius, 2.38 mm thickness and a 60° approach angle, while the 7° relief angle supports secure engagement and chip formation. The insert features a cylindrical hole with a single‑side countersink (40°–60°), enabling firm, repeatable clamping when used with the correct shim and screw set — a prerequisite for vibration‑free turning and consistent surface quality.

Chip control and application guidance for optimised machining

This insert is supplied with a DIA chipbreaker tailored to aluminium and similar materials, promoting short, controllable chips and preventing reformation at the cutting edge. Selecting the correct chipbreaker and matching the grade to machine stability and workpiece properties is essential: the chip‑forming geometry reduces heat concentration, enabling the PCD edge to operate at higher speeds with stable cutting forces. System composition typically comprises the ISO insert, a compatible external holder or boring bar, a supporting shim/clamping set and replacement screws — choose components according to holder form, clearance angle, tolerance class, size and thickness.
