TCMT110304 DX120 Tungaloy turning insert (TCMT, PCD, 60°)

A TCMT110304 DX120 turning insert designed for high‑speed machining of aluminium and non‑ferrous materials, supplied in ISO triangular format for external and internal turning

• PCD grade DX120 for aluminium and non‑ferrous metals
• ISO triangle 60° form for versatile turning
• Very long tool life at high cutting speeds
• Single‑sided chipbreaker with centred hole

High‑speed performance and measurable productivity gains

The triangular insert combines a polished PCD cutting layer with a stable substrate to deliver consistently higher material removal rates in non‑ferrous work. The DX120 grade is engineered for aluminium and similar alloys, enabling elevated spindle speeds while maintaining surface quality and tool integrity. Thanks to the diamond cutting edge, the insert offers reduced flank wear and extended intervals between index changes, which translates directly into lower machining downtime and improved process efficiency. The geometry supports reliable chip evacuation when paired with the appropriate holder and coolant strategy.

Simple holder compatibility and installation clarity

Compatibility is defined by the insert form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness; this ISO‑compliant design ensures straightforward matching with standard triangular holders. The 60° insert angle and the 7° clearance angle allow secure seating in many external and internal turning tool bodies, while the cylindrical hole with one‑side countersink (40°–60°) provides repeatable clamping and orientation. Clear specification of these parameters reduces set‑up time on the shop floor and avoids ambiguous tool selection, supporting leaner changeover and consistent run quality.

Durable edge technology for predictable tooling costs

The PCD cutting layer in combination with a robust substrate delivers a marked increase in lifetime for abrasive or adhesive aluminium alloys and non‑metallic abrasive composites. This durability yields a clear cost‑per‑part advantage: fewer index changes, less tool handling and reduced consumption of spare inserts. The single‑sided chipbreaker is optimised for controlled chip formation under typical turning feeds, reducing the risk of surface rework and improving first‑pass yields. For production environments where uptime and consistency matter, this insert helps to stabilise process performance.

Application guidance and practical selection advice

Select the chipbreaker and grade according to workpiece material, machining strategy and machine stability. For light finishing passes at high surface‑finish demands, favour lower feeds with the same DX120 grade to exploit the PCD edge’s fine cutting capability. For roughing or interrupted cuts, ensure clamping rigidity and appropriate tool overhang are in place to preserve edge life. The system comprises the ISO insert, a matching external holder or boring bar, backing/clamping kit and replacement screws — providing a complete, repeatable tooling solution when sourced and assembled correctly.

FAQ

Which materials are best suited for this insert?
The TCMT110304 DX120 insert uses a PCD cutting layer optimised for aluminium, other non‑ferrous metals and abrasive non‑metallic materials, delivering high cutting speeds and long tool life.

Is this an ISO‑standard insert and will it fit common holders?
Yes — the insert follows ISO triangular specifications (110304) and, with a 60° included angle and standard dimensions, is compatible with matching ISO triangular turning holders when clamped according to size and tolerance requirements.

What benefit does the single‑sided chipbreaker provide?
The single‑sided chipbreaker on the TCMT110304 promotes controlled chip formation in turning operations, improving surface finish and reducing the likelihood of rework for many aluminium machining applications.

How does the DX120 grade affect tooling costs?
The DX120 PCD grade extends index intervals and reduces insert consumption through superior wear resistance, which lowers the overall cost per part in high‑speed aluminium production.

What are the relevant product identifiers for ordering?
Order using SKU 6822168‑Tungaloy or the manufacturer article number 6822168; the insert is the TCMT110304 DX120 Tungaloy turning insert.
