Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
Located in Cleveland, Ohio, Precision Metalworks needed an upgrade to handle short chip materials more efficiently.
"Since switching to the TPGC 222 inserts, our tool change times have decreased, and the cut quality has improved noticeably. It handles tricky materials without clogging our machines."

Increased operational uptime by 35% and reduced scrap rate significantly.
Why Choosing the Right Cut Type Makes a Real Difference
Understanding the difference between standard cut and double cut can be a huge help when picking inserts like the TPGC 222. Think of the standard cut as a smooth-running street car—great for clean, steady work with less resistance. The double cut, on the other hand, adds a crosshatch pattern that’s like having enhanced tire grip on rough roads. This reduces vibration and improves chip control, especially when tackling tough materials that toss off short, stubborn chips. With the right cut, you’re ensuring your machine runs cleaner, cooler, and lasts longer.

Setting It Up
- Ensure the insert and holder are clean before installation.
- Align the TPGC 222 insert carefully on the crew on tooling system.
- Secure the insert firmly using the thru-hole fastening method to prevent movement during cuts.
- Check the corner radius compatibility with your workpiece for best results.
- Test a short cut on scrap material to verify installation and cutting angle.
Keeping It Going
- Clean the insert regularly to prevent chip buildup.
