CNGG 120408 TH10 indexable insert for Turning — Tungaloy

CNGG120408 TH10 Tungaloy indexable insert offers a robust solution for general turning of non-ferrous materials and applications where a low cutting force and fine surface are priorities

• ISO‑standard rhombic insert, 80° cutting angle
• Uncoated carbide TH10 for clean finishes
• Double-sided geometry for economical use
• Compatible with holders using cylindrical hole

Reliable ISO compatibility for consistent set-up and repeatability

The ISO-standard geometry of this insert guarantees predictable seating and repeatable clamping in matching toolholders. With an 80° cutting angle and rhombic form, the insert fits a wide range of external and internal turning operations. The presence of a cylindrical hole and defined tolerance class simplifies assembly and reduces setup time, supporting stable production runs and minimising downtime. This consistency is particularly valuable for batch work where tool change predictability matters.

Low cutting forces and improved surface finish for non-ferrous work

The TH10 grade is an uncoated carbide formulation optimised for non-ferrous materials and situations that benefit from a sharp, uncoated cutting edge. The sharp edge geometry reduces built-up edge and cutting forces, which often results in a better surface finish and less thermal loading on the workpiece. For components demanding clean surfaces and tight tolerances, this combination of grade and geometry delivers tangible process benefits while maintaining straightforward machining parameters.

Cost-effective productivity through double-sided use and compact geometry

Being double-sided, each insert provides two usable cutting edges, enhancing cost-efficiency without sacrificing stability. The compact 12 mm size and 4.76 mm plate thickness balance rigidity and access in constrained tool setups. A corner radius of 0.8 mm supports edge strength while remaining small enough for fine profiling. Together, these design choices extend economic tool life and reduce tooling cost per component in everyday turning tasks.

Integration advice: choosing holders and optimising cutting data

Successful performance depends on matching the insert to the correct holder and cutting data. Select a holder that accommodates the rhombic shape, 80° approach, and the 0° relief specification for correct chip flow and contact. Where finish is critical, favour lighter feeds and higher spindle speeds suitable for the TH10 uncoated edge; for roughing, increase the depth of cut but monitor cutting forces. Practical trials on representative stock material are recommended to validate parameters and confirm expected results with the Tungaloy grade.

Practical benefits for production workflows

Incorporating this indexable insert into production supports rapid tool replacement, reliable repeatability and reduced inventory complexity thanks to ISO conformity. The simple, uncoated cutting edge removes concerns about coating delamination in some non-ferrous applications and eases regrinding or inspection routines. Overall, this insert helps maintain machining stability while contributing to consistent part quality and predictable cycle times.
