TPGX090204-L IC908 Carbide Turning Insert for Steel & Stainless Steel
Product Overview
The TPGX090204-L IC908 is a high-performance triangular positive carbide turning insert, engineered for precision finishing and semi-finishing operations on steel, stainless steel, and alloy materials. Featuring a polished positive rake geometry and left-hand chipbreaker design, this insert delivers excellent cutting stability, low cutting forces, and superior surface quality.
The IC908 grade is a PVD-coated fine-grain carbide developed for high wear resistance and thermal stability. It ensures reliable performance under medium to high cutting speeds, making it ideal for CNC lathes used in automotive, general engineering, and high-precision manufacturing industries.
With its sharp cutting edge and optimized chip flow, the TPGX090204-L IC908 significantly reduces vibration and tool pressure, allowing consistent results even on thin-walled or delicate workpieces.
