RCGT 0602M0 KS05F — ISO turning indexable insert by Tungaloy, round 06, AL chipbreaker

The RCGT0602M0-AL KS05F is an ISO turning indexable insert designed for external and internal turning applications, combining a Tungaloy carbide grade with an AL chipbreaker for controlled chip formation.

• ISO round insert, size 06
• KS05F Tungaloy carbide grade
• AL chipbreaker optimised for aluminium
• 7° relief with hole and countersink

Maximise machining efficiency with a balanced cutting grade

The Tungaloy KS05F grade is formulated to offer a well-balanced combination of wear resistance and toughness, making the insert suitable for continuous and semi-finishing turning. As an ISO-compliant cutting body, the indexable insert provides predictable wear behaviour that supports longer tool life and reduced downtime. By selecting a grade that complements the insert geometry, operators benefit from consistent cutting forces and improved productivity; the resulting economy of operation is a direct gain for production schedules and cost control.

Secure clamping and repeatable accuracy for dependable results

Designed as a round RCGT insert with a 2.38 mm plate thickness and a 7° relief angle, the geometry supports stable seating and accurate positioning in contemporary holders. The insert features a cylindrical hole with a one-sided countersink (40°–60°) which enables reliable fixation and repeatable concentricity. These dimensional characteristics contribute to reduced run-out and better surface finish in both external and internal turning. Compatibility depends on holder form, tolerance class and fastening method, so correct matching ensures the mechanical advantages are realised on the shop floor.

Tailored chip control and system compatibility for turning tasks

The integrated AL chipbreaker is optimised for machining aluminium and similarly ductile materials, promoting short, controllable chips and easing evacuation from the cut. In combination with the KS05F grade and the round insert form, this insert is suited to a range of turning operations when matched with the appropriate holder and clamping set. The complete system typically comprises the indexable insert, an external holder or boring bar, a shim/clamping set and spare screws; treating the setup as a system ensures process stability and consistent component quality.

FAQ

What materials is the insert suitable for?
The RCGT0602M0-AL KS05F insert is intended for turning and, with its AL chipbreaker, is optimised for aluminium and comparable ductile materials; the KS05F grade balances wear resistance and toughness for general turning tasks.

How is the insert fixed in the holder?
Fixing is by the cylindrical hole with a one-sided countersink (40°–60°); correct seating and clamping in a compatible ISO holder ensure concentricity and repeatable positioning for the Tungaloy indexable insert.

What are the key dimensions to check when selecting a holder?
Key numerical data are: plate thickness 2.38 mm, size 06, relief angle 7° and corner radius 0; confirm these values against the holder's tolerance class and fastening method for a reliable fit.

Is this an indexable or a solid tool?
This is an ISO indexable turning insert (wendeplatte) intended for use with appropriate external holders or boring bars rather than as a solid single-piece tool.

Which holder types are compatible with this ISO designation?
Compatibility depends on holder form, relief, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness; choose a holder specified for RCGT-style round inserts to match the RCGT0602M0-AL KS05F geometry and secure clamping.
