KNMX160405 GH330 – ISO indexable turning insert for precision turning by Tungaloy

A KNMX160405 GH330 indexable insert engineered for external and internal turning, offering a parallelogram form and a 55° cutting angle for versatile machining tasks

• ISO-standard indexable turning insert
• GH330 grade for wear and edge stability
• Parallelogram form with 55° cutting angle

Consistent productivity through standardised geometry and compatibility

The insert is part of an ISO-standard series designed to simplify tool planning and reduce setup time. Compatibility with a toolholder depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness, which ensures predictable assembly in production tooling systems. The standardised geometry supports fast index changes and consistent repeatability, which helps to maintain cycle times and reduce unplanned downtime. The balanced design of the insert delivers steady chip flow and reliable cutting performance under serial production conditions, promoting process stability.

Balanced grade for wear resistance and cutting-edge stability

The GH330 cutting grade from Tungaloy combines wear resistance and edge stability, making the insert suitable for a wide range of turning operations. The grade complements the insert geometry to withstand abrasive wear while retaining sufficient toughness for interrupted cuts. A correctly chosen chipbreaker and grade will control chip formation and improve surface finish; the chipbreaker type should be matched to the workpiece material and the machining strategy. This approach reduces rework and increases tool life, delivering economic benefits across batch sizes.

Easy integration and clear specification for toolroom use

With a parallelogram shape and a nominal cutting angle of 55°, this insert fits common turning applications and toolholder designs. The 0.5 mm corner radius (0.5 mm) allows a compromise between robustness and surface quality, suitable where a defined edge strength is required without sacrificing finish. The system typically comprises the indexable insert, a matching external holder or boring bar, and the necessary shim/clamp set and fixation screws, allowing straightforward retrofitting into existing tool systems and minimising inventory complexity.

Application guidance for procurement and process planning

Designed for turning operations, the insert supports both external and internal machining and is a practical choice for CNC workshops and precision turning shops seeking a stable cutting edge. Selection should consider the combination of GH330, the intended chipbreaker and the chosen holder to match process stability and workpiece demands. For mixed production environments, the ISO conformity and grade balance make the insert a pragmatic option to harmonise tooling across machines while preserving quality and repeatability.

FAQ

Which holders are compatible with this insert?
Compatibility is determined by the insert form, clearance angle, tolerance class, clamping method and size; the KNMX160405 GH330 indexable turning insert (Tungaloy, SKU 6805033-Tungaloy) requires a holder designed for its parallelogram geometry and 55° cutting angle

For which turning tasks is this grade intended?
The GH330 grade is formulated to balance wear resistance and edge stability for general turning operations; use the KNMX160405 GH330 insert with a chipbreaker selected for the specific workpiece material and type of cut

How does the 0.5 mm corner radius affect the machining result?
A 0.5 mm corner radius offers increased edge strength for heavier cuts while still allowing good surface finish; on the KNMX160405 GH330 insert this radius helps to extend tool life in mixed production tasks

Can indexable inserts of this type be reground?
Indexable carbide inserts such as the KNMX160405 GH330 are designed for indexing and replacement rather than regrinding; replacement provides consistent geometry and cutting-edge integrity

What is included when ordering the insert?
The KNMX160405 GH330 is supplied as the indexable insert only; matching holders, shims/clamps and fixation screws are purchased separately to complete the tool system
