DCGT070204 TH10 Tungaloy indexable turning insert — ISO rhombic, 55° lead angle

The DCGT070204 TH10 insert is an ISO-standard rhombic turning insert designed for general turning operations where low cutting forces and clean surface finishes are required.

• ISO-standard rhombic insert, 55° lead angle
• Uncoated carbide TH10 for low cutting forces
• 0.4 mm corner radius for controlled finishing
• Cylindrical hole with single-side countersink (40°–60°)

Efficient cutting with low force and clean finishes

The combination of the uncoated TH10 carbide and the insert's geometry yields a measurable reduction in cutting forces during turning. This results in lower power draw and less tool-induced vibration, which supports stable machining and helps to extend holder and tool life. The 0.4 mm corner radius is optimised for finishing passes, improving surface quality while maintaining reliable edge strength. For operations in non-ferrous materials or processes that favour a sharp cutting edge, this design offers a practical balance between economy and performance.

Predictable chip control and consistent tool life

A single-sided chipbreaker and defined relief geometry deliver predictable chip formation, especially during external and internal turning when consistent chip evacuation is critical. The uncoated carbide substrate provides a clean cutting edge that reduces built-up edge tendencies on softer metals, enabling repeatable results across batches. By selecting the appropriate chipbreaker and grade, users can achieve improved process reliability and fewer interrupted cycles, which contributes to higher throughput and lower rework rates.

Designed for secure mounting and ISO compatibility

Compatibility with the toolholder is determined by multiple parameters such as form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The insert features a cylindrical hole with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°) to ensure secure seating and repeatable clamping. The ISO designation simplifies holder selection and reduces setup errors in mixed tooling environments, supporting efficient tool changeovers and inventory management in production settings.

Application range and material suitability

This insert is particularly suited to turning applications where low cutting forces and a sharp edge are beneficial, such as machining non-ferrous alloys and mixed-material batches. The TH10 grade is an uncoated universal sort designed to support clean surface finishes and easy chip flow. Typical system assembly includes the ISO insert, a matching outside holder or boring bar, a shim/clamp set and replacement clamping screws; this modular setup enables flexible adaptation to different workpiece geometries and process stability requirements.

FAQ

What workpieces is this insert best suited for?
The DCGT070204 TH10 insert from Tungaloy is best for turning non-ferrous metals and situations where a sharp, uncoated edge reduces cutting forces and improves surface finish.

How does the insert mount in a holder?
Mounting uses the cylindrical hole with a single-side countersink; correct seating is achieved when the holder matches the ISO geometry, relief angle and thickness of the insert.

Can this insert be used for finishing passes?
Yes, the 0.4 mm corner radius and the TH10 grade provide controlled finishing performance, delivering improved surface quality in finishing operations.

What components are required for a complete system setup?
A complete turning setup typically comprises the ISO insert, a compatible outside holder or boring bar, a shim/clamp set and replacement screws to secure the insert.
