TCMT080204-DX120 ISO turning insert for turning by Tungaloy

A TCMT080204-DIA DX120 triangular insert engineered for productive external and internal turning of aluminium and other non‑ferrous materials.

• PCD cutting edge for abrasive materials
• ISO‑standard triangular insert format
• Long tool life at high cutting speeds
• Compatible with cylindrical hole clamping

Engineered for high‑speed, productive turning

The insert uses a polycrystalline diamond (PCD) cutting edge in the DX120 grade, enabling high cutting speeds and markedly extended tool life when machining aluminium and non‑ferrous materials. This PCD geometry reduces flank wear and preserves edge geometry over long production runs, which translates directly into fewer tool changes and better machine availability. The result is measurable productivity gains and improved process stability for both short runs and series production.

Secure clamping and ISO compatibility that simplify tool management

Produced to the ISO specification for triangular turning inserts, the component fits standard holders when form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening and thickness are matched. The insert's cylindrical hole with single‑side countersink (40°–60°) and standard shape ensure reliable seating and repeatable clamp force, reducing the risk of movement during interrupted cuts. Clear technical conformity reduces setup time and simplifies inventory management across toolrooms.

Durability and cost‑efficiency through material pairing and geometry

A carbide substrate combined with a PCD top layer and the DIA chipbreaker provides optimised chip formation for abrasive non‑metallics and aluminium alloys, while the defined corner radius of 0.4 mm supports consistent surface finish. The insert's 2.38 mm thickness and 60° geometry support robust cutting edge support under varying cutting conditions. These design choices reduce rework and extend edge life, delivering lower cost per component and predictable tool performance.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for machining aluminium?
Yes. The DX120 grade with a PCD cutting edge is designed specifically for aluminium and non‑ferrous materials, providing high cutting speeds and long tool life.

What clamping arrangement is required?
The insert requires a holder or boring bar compatible with the ISO triangular format and the cylindrical hole with single‑side countersink for secure clamping.

How does the polycrystalline diamond layer benefit production?
The PCD top layer on the insert reduces abrasive wear and maintains edge sharpness, extending tool life and lowering the cost per part in high‑speed operations.

Can this insert be used for internal turning?
Yes. The geometry and chipbreaker are suitable for both external and internal turning, subject to appropriate holder selection and machining parameters.
