TNMG 160408 AH8005 Tungaloy turning insert — PVD-coated carbide, 0.8 mm nose radius, 60° triangular

The TNMG160408 AH8005 is a triangular ISO turning insert engineered for external and internal turning, optimised for heat‑resistant alloys and other hard materials

• PVD-coated carbide for wear resistance
• Optimised for heat-resistant alloys
• Double-sided chipbreaker for stability

Proven wear resistance for demanding alloys

Offering a balance of longevity and predictability, the TNMG160408 AH8005 is aimed at stable machining operations where tool life and process repeatability matter. The PVD-coated carbide grade AH8005 resists abrasive and thermal wear when cutting heat‑resistant alloys and hardened workpieces, which reduces flank wear and the need for frequent indexings. This results in longer continuous cutting intervals and improved overall equipment effectiveness on serial and batch turning tasks.

Controlled chip formation and improved surface quality

Process stability and surface finish are supported by the insert geometry and chipforming design. The double-sided chipbreaker together with the 60° triangular profile and the 0° rake generate predictable chips and steady cutting forces. As a consequence, vibration is minimised and edge chipping risk is reduced, enabling higher material removal rates and consistent part tolerances. Fewer interruptions for chip clearing contribute to more efficient cycle times.

ISO compatibility and practical mounting guidance

Correct mounting is essential: compatibility is determined by holder form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness. As an ISO-standard insert in the 160408 family with a cylindrical hole and 4.76 mm thickness, it is suitable for holders designed for this geometry; the 0.8 mm nose radius offers a compromise between cutting-edge strength and surface finish. Selecting the matching chipbreaker and adapting feeds and speeds to the workpiece material will optimise life and machining economy.
