DNGG 150404 TH10 indexable turning insert by Tungaloy — 55° rhombic geometry

The DNGG 150404 TH10 is an ISO-standard rhombic indexable insert designed for external and internal turning applications where low cutting forces and clean surface finish are required.

• ISO-standard rhombic insert, 55° cutting angle
• Uncoated carbide grade TH10 for non-ferrous metals
• Double-sided chipbreaker for consistent chips
• Cylindrical-hole design for secure clamping

Predictable chip control for efficient turning

The combination of a double-sided chipbreaker and a sharp TH10 grade creates predictable chip formation, which reduces the risk of chip-related interruptions during production. The uncoated cemented carbide edge is designed to deliver low cutting forces and a clean surface finish when machining non-ferrous materials, making it suitable for aluminium, brass and many plastics. Lower cutting forces translate into reduced spindle load and can enable higher feed rates or longer tool life on unstable set-ups, which improves overall machining efficiency and reduces production costs per component.

Secure seating and standardised fit reduce set-up time

Built to ISO dimensions, the rhombic insert with a 55° cutting angle and a cylindrical hole ensures repeatable mounting and stable clamping in compatible holders. Compatibility with a holder depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening, overall size and thickness; using ISO-standard components simplifies sourcing and reduces set-up time. The robust geometry and standardised thickness help maintain cutting position and reduce vibration, supporting consistent dimensional accuracy and surface quality across batches.

Why the TH10 grade and uncoated carbide matter

An uncoated carbide grade like TH10 provides a sharp cutting edge that excels where low cutting forces and excellent surface finish are priorities. Unlike coated grades that add wear resistance for high-temperature or abrasive operations, a sharp uncoated edge cuts cleanly in soft-to-medium materials and helps avoid built-up edge on sticky alloys. This makes the insert a rational choice for shops machining non-ferrous components, prototype work or finishing passes where surface integrity is crucial.

Practical system advantages and recommended use

The insert functions as part of a simple system comprising the ISO insert, a matching external holder or boring bar, a shim/clamp set and replacement screws; maintaining the complete set ensures reliable results. The rhombic plate shape, a corner radius of 0.4 mm and the 55° geometry suit both external turning and internal operations where access and tool orientation favour a 55° lead. Select the chipbreaker and grade according to the workpiece material, cutting parameters and machine stability to get the best trade-off between surface finish and productivity.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The DNGG150404 TH10 Tungaloy indexable turning insert is optimised for non-ferrous materials; the uncoated TH10 grade promotes low cutting forces and clean surfaces when machining aluminium, brass and many polymers.

How does the chipbreaker affect machining?
The double-sided chipbreaker on the insert promotes consistent chip control and reduces the likelihood of chip entanglement, improving process reliability when using the DNGG150404 TH10 insert in turning operations.

Is the insert compatible with standard holders?
Yes — the insert follows ISO dimensions; compatibility depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness, so an ISO-compliant holder with the correct seat and clamp will accept the insert securely.

What does the 0.4 mm corner radius mean for part finish?
A 0.4 mm corner radius balances edge strength and surface finish: it supports good edge life while enabling a fine surface on finishing passes with appropriate feeds and speeds.

Can this insert be used for internal turning?
Yes, the rhombic geometry and 55° cutting angle make the insert suitable for both external and internal turning where access and tool orientation are appropriate for a rhombic insert.
