TCMT 110202 DX120 Tungaloy indexable insert for turning, 60° triangle, PCD

A TCMT110202 DX120 Tungaloy ISO indexable insert designed for high-speed turning of aluminium, non-ferrous and abrasive non-metals with a PCD cutting layer for extended service life

• PCD grade DX120 for long tool life
• Triangular 60° geometry for stable cutting
• Suitable for aluminium and non-ferrous materials
• Cylindrical hole with one-sided countersink (40°–60°)

High-speed machining with proven wear resistance

The TCMT110202 DX120 insert combines a polycrystalline diamond (PCD) cutting layer with a robust carbide substrate, enabling significantly higher cutting speeds compared with conventional carbide tools when machining soft, non-ferrous materials. The DX120 grade is engineered for abrasive non-metals and aluminium alloys, which results in a noticeably long tool life and fewer indexings per component. This reliability translates into consistent cycle times and lower tooling consumption in high-volume turning processes.

Geometry engineered for accuracy and secure clamping

The triangular 60° shape provides effective cutting engagement with a defined nose radius, and the corner radius of 0.2 mm delivers a predictable cutting edge for finishing operations. A relief angle of 7° and a plate thickness of 2.38 mm contribute to stiffness and edge support, while the central hole—the cylindrical hole with a one-sided countersink (40°–60°)—ensures secure clamping in compatible holders. These geometric parameters help maintain dimensional accuracy and surface quality, particularly when the holder, tolerance class and mounting match the insert dimensions.

Application-specific benefits and process gains

Designed primarily for turning, the insert’s single-sided chipbreaker and PCD cutting surface reduce built-up edge and improve chip evacuation in aluminium and similar materials. The result is improved surface finish and reduced secondary operations. When combined with an appropriate ISO-standard holder and clamping set, the system offers repeatable results and reliable performance across batches, making it suitable for both prototype runs and full production environments.

Practical notes on selection and setup

Compatibility with a given holder depends on form, tolerance class, clearance angle, fastening method, size and thickness; selecting the correct chipbreaker and grade is essential for optimised results. The carbide substrate provides mechanical support for the PCD layer; cooling strategy and feed/speed adjustments should reflect the workpiece material to avoid thermal damage to the diamond edge. For installation, verify the insert orientation and use the specified screws and backing pads to meet recommended clamping forces and avoid chipping.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The TCMT110202 DX120 insert is intended for aluminium, other non-ferrous alloys and abrasive non-metallic materials thanks to its PCD cutting layer.

How does the DX120 grade affect production runs?
DX120 provides extended edge life and consistent cutting performance, which reduces indexings and supports longer uninterrupted production cycles.

Which holder features are required for safe clamping?
A compatible ISO holder with correct form, tolerance class and clamping geometry is required; the insert’s cylindrical hole with one-sided countersink secures the plate in standard clamping systems.

Can this insert be used for finishing operations?
Yes—its 0.2 mm corner radius and PCD surface are suitable for fine finishing on aluminium and similar materials when feeds and speeds are properly set.

What system components complete the cutting assembly?
Typical systems comprise the ISO indexable insert, a matching external holder or boring bar, backing pad/clamping set and replacement screws matched to the insert’s hole style.
