CNMG 120404 TH10 CNMG turning insert — uncoated carbide, 80° rhombic by Tungaloy

A CNMG 120404 TH10 ISO‑standard turning insert designed for external and internal turning where low cutting forces and clean surfaces are required, especially on non‑ferrous materials.

• CNMG 120404 TH10 ISO rhombic insert
• Sharp uncoated carbide for non‑ferrous materials
• Double‑sided chipbreaker for stable chip control
• 80° corner angle, 0.4 mm corner radius

Precise geometry for reliable external and internal turning

The insert’s ISO‑standard geometry and 80° rhombic configuration deliver predictable cutting engagement and good access for external and internal operations. The rhombic form and the specified clearance angle 0° reduce interference at entry and exit, which benefits cycle stability and surface consistency. Because the design follows ISO norms, compatibility with appropriately dimensioned holders is ensured when form, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness are matched; this enables reliable tool changes and repeatable process set‑up in series production.

TH10 uncoated carbide: low cutting forces and clean finishes on non‑ferrous work

The TH10 grade is an uncoated carbide developed as a sharp, universal option for non‑ferrous materials and situations that favour minimal cutting forces. An uncoated cutting edge often improves chip formation and reduces built‑up edge when machining aluminium, copper alloys and similar materials, producing cleaner surfaces without the need for coating layers. For applications where thermal loading is moderate and surface integrity is critical, this grade supports efficient machining with reduced cutting energy and good dimensional control.

Practical integration, chip control and economical indexing

The insert’s double‑sided chipbreaker and central cylindrical hole simplify clamping and enable economical indexation during production. Sizes such as 12 mm nominal and a thickness of 4.76 mm give robust seat engagement, while the 0.4 mm corner radius balances edge strength with achievable surface finish. Correct selection of the matching holder and fastening hardware is essential; because compatibility depends on form, free angle, tolerance class, fastening and plate thickness, confirming those parameters prevents misfits and maintains process reliability. The construction supports straightforward indexing and reduces downtime, contributing to a productive machining cycle.

FAQ

Which materials are best machined with this insert?
The CNMG120404 TH10 Tungaloy turning insert (SKU 6802017-Tungaloy) is optimised for non‑ferrous materials such as aluminium and copper alloys, where a sharp, uncoated carbide edge promotes clean chip formation and good surface quality.

How does the TH10 grade compare to coated grades for finishing?
TH10, as an uncoated carbide grade, often offers lower cutting forces and reduced built‑up edge on soft or ductile non‑ferrous alloys, whereas coated grades are typically chosen for abrasive or high‑temperature applications; the TH10 grade supports fine surface finishes in the right material range.

What determines compatibility with a tool holder?
Compatibility depends on the insert form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening type, size and thickness; ensure the holder matches the CNMG120404 geometry and mounting features to achieve secure clamping and correct tool projection.

Is the insert indexable and how does the chipbreaker help?
The double‑sided chipbreaker design allows the insert to be indexed to a fresh cutting edge when required, improving economy and uptime while maintaining consistent chip control and process stability.

What surface quality can be expected when using this insert?
When used in appropriate materials and with suitable cutting parameters, the TH10 uncoated carbide grade supports clean surfaces and low cutting forces, making it suitable for finishing passes on non‑ferrous components.
