TCMT110204 DX120 indexable turning insert – PCD for high-speed aluminium turning (Tungaloy)

The TCMT110204 DX120 is an ISO-standard triangular indexable insert engineered for high-speed external and internal turning of aluminium, non-ferrous metals and abrasive non-metallic materials.

• ISO triangular insert TCMT110204 DX120
• Polycrystalline diamond (PCD) grade DX120
• Designed for aluminium and non-ferrous metals
• 0.4 mm corner radius; 7° clearance angle

Maximise material removal rates with PCD efficiency

The use of polycrystalline diamond (PCD) in grade DX120 delivers consistently high cutting performance when machining aluminium and other non-ferrous materials. This substrate-material combination allows for high cutting speeds and markedly reduced tool wear compared with conventional coatings, resulting in longer uninterrupted production runs and fewer insert changes. For operations that prioritise throughput, the PCD geometry provides a reliable basis for both roughing and finishing passes while maintaining surface quality.

Improved process stability through geometry and chip control

A triangular ISO-standard form with a 0.4 mm corner radius and a single-sided chipbreaker ensures good balance between strength and edge line for routine turning tasks. The 7° clearance angle and the insert’s precise hole and countersink arrangement support repeatable clamping and consistent cutting engagement. Together, these characteristics promote stable chip control and reduce vibration, which in turn helps to safeguard workpiece quality and tool life during heavier cuts or interrupted cutting conditions.

Straightforward integration with existing toolholders

Compatibility is achieved by matching insert form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening and thickness to the chosen holder or boring bar. The insert’s cylindrical hole with a single-side countersink (40°–60°) provides a secure seat in many standard holders, while the 2.38 mm plate thickness and 11 mm size simplify selection from ISO families. When the correct clamping system and backing pad are used, repeatability and rigidity are improved, offering a dependable, production-ready solution for series or job-shop turning.

Long life and consistent surface results for demanding jobs

Grade DX120 is suited to abrasive non-metallics and non-ferrous alloys where abrasive wear limits tool life for conventional grades. The PCD cutting layer produces fine, consistent finishes and preserves edge integrity over extended cycles, reducing downtime for index changes. In practice, this means fewer interventions on the machine and a more predictable process window, which supports leaner scheduling and higher overall equipment effectiveness.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for? The TCMT110204 DX120 insert is designed primarily for aluminium, other non-ferrous metals and abrasive non-metallic materials where PCD performance brings advantage.

How does the DX120 grade differ from conventional carbide grades? DX120 uses a polycrystalline diamond cutting surface that provides superior wear resistance and allows higher cutting speeds and longer tool life compared with standard carbide inserts when machining non-ferrous and abrasive materials.

Which holder features are required for correct compatibility? Compatibility depends on matching insert form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; the TCMT110204’s cylindrical hole with single-side countersink and 2.38 mm thickness require a holder designed for ISO TCMT inserts.

Can this insert be used for finishing as well as roughing? Yes; the combination of 0.4 mm corner radius and the PCD cutting edge makes the insert suitable for both higher-material-removal-rate roughing and fine finishing passes on appropriate workpieces.

What is the manufacturer SKU and where does the product originate? The product is listed under SKU 6822166-Tungaloy and manufacturer SKU TUN6822166; it is an original Tungaloy insert intended for standard ISO turning applications.
