DCGT11T304 TH10 indexable insert for turning by Tungaloy — 55° rhombic, 0.4 mm radius

The DCGT11T304 TH10 is a rhombic ISO indexable insert for external and internal turning, offering a sharp uncoated carbide edge that supports low cutting forces and clean surface results.

• ISO rhombic 55° geometry
• Uncoated carbide TH10 for low cutting forces
• 0.4 mm nose radius for fine surface finish
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

Consistent cutting performance for non‑ferrous workpieces

The combination of uncoated carbide TH10 and the rhombic 55° form delivers stable machining behaviour when turning non‑ferrous materials such as aluminium, copper and mess­ing. The uncoated edge reduces the tendency for built‑up edge, which in turn lowers cutting forces and helps maintain a cleaner contact area between tool and workpiece. As a consequence, cycle times can be reduced while achieving reliable dimensional repeatability. The DCGT11T304 insert is therefore suited to applications where gentle cutting action and good surface integrity are priorities.

Geometry that improves surface finish and repeatability

A 55° geometry combined with a 0.4 mm nose radius balances cutting strength and finish quality: the acute rhombic form provides access for profiling and close shoulder work, while the modest nose radius supports fine surface quality without excessive cutting forces. In practice, a smaller nose radius helps to avoid chatter on long overhangs and reduces the risk of tool overload during interrupted cuts. These geometric choices translate into measurable benefits: fewer reworks and more predictable finishing passes.

Simple integration into ISO indexable systems

As an ISO‑standard insert with a 3.97 mm plate thickness and a 7° clearance, the component fits common external holders and boring bars provided the holder matches form, tolerance class, fastening and size. The insert is supplied with a hole and a cylindrical hole plus one‑sided countersink (40°–60°) for secure clamping and repeatable seating. This standardisation simplifies tool inventory management and reduces setup time on the shopfloor because compatible clamping sets and replacement screws are widely available.

Chip control and process guidance for turning tasks

The single‑sided chipbreaker is designed to produce predictable chips in recommended cutting directions and to assist in surface stability for finishing and medium finishing cuts. Selecting the correct chipbreaker and cutting parameters should be done with regard to workpiece material and machine stability: a sharper uncoated edge suits low‑force finishing, whereas higher stability conditions can exploit increased feed for productivity. For process optimisation, choose the chipbreaker and cutting data that match the component geometry and the required surface quality.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The DCGT11T304 TH10 insert from Tungaloy is optimised for non‑ferrous materials such as aluminium, copper and mess­ing, and for applications where an uncoated cutting edge reduces built‑up edge and cutting forces.

Can this insert be used for internal as well as external turning?
Yes, the rhombic 55° form and the insert dimensions make it suitable for both external and internal turning tasks when paired with the correct holder and clamping set.

How does the single‑sided chipbreaker influence machining?
The single‑sided chipbreaker on this insert promotes controlled chip formation in the designated cutting direction, improving stability and surface finish during finishing and medium finishing operations.

What holder features are required for compatibility?
Compatibility with a holder is determined by the insert form, 7° clearance, tolerance class, fastening method, size (11 mm) and thickness (3.97 mm); ensure the holder matches the ISO geometry and clamping style.

Which order codes and identifiers should be quoted when ordering?
