🛠️ TPGX Carbide Inserts – Precision Turning Inserts

CNC Tools Depot proudly offers an extensive selection of TPGX carbide inserts, designed for high-precision turning, grooving, and finishing applications. TPGX inserts feature a triangular positive rake geometry (60°) with a ground cutting edge (X), making them ideal for achieving excellent surface finishes on a wide range of materials.

Our TPGX inserts are available from leading global brands like Korloy, Kennametal, Widia, Sandvik, and Taegutec, ensuring unmatched quality, performance, and reliability.


🔑 Key Features of TPGX Inserts

  • Triangular Shape (60°) – Ensures multi-edge usability, reducing tooling costs.

  • Positive Rake Angle – Provides smooth chip flow and reduced cutting resistance.

  • Ground Cutting Edge (X) – Delivers superior accuracy and a high-quality finish.

  • High Wear Resistance – Thanks to advanced carbide grades and PVD/CVD coatings.

  • Versatile Applications – Suitable for machining steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals.


⚙️ Applications of TPGX Carbide Inserts

TPGX inserts are widely used in:

  • Finishing operations – Achieving smooth, mirror-like surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

TPGX refers to a triangular (T) positive rake (P) insert with a ground cutting edge (X) designed for precision finishing.

They are mainly used for high-precision turning, grooving, and finishing, especially in aluminum, steel, and non-ferrous metals.

Yes, TPGX inserts with polished edges are perfect for aluminum and soft materials.

Yes, coated TPGX inserts (PVD) are suitable for stainless steel applications.

Both are triangular inserts, but TPGX has a ground edge for finishing, while TCMT inserts are chipbreaker style for general turning.

Yes, they are available in uncoated, PVD-coated, and CVD-coated grades depending on the application.

Major brands include Korloy, Kennametal, Sandvik, Widia, and Taegutec.

A triangular insert typically has three cutting edges per side, allowing up to six usable edges when flipped.

They are mainly designed for finishing rather than heavy roughing. For roughing, use tougher chipbreaker-style inserts.
