SNMA120408 TH10 — Tungaloy indexable insert for turning

The SNMA120408 TH10 is an ISO‑standard indexable insert designed for external and internal turning applications, delivering low cutting forces and improved surface quality in non‑ferrous and similar materials.

• ISO‑standard SNMA geometry
• Uncoated carbide grade TH10
• 0.8 mm corner radius for versatile cuts
• Cylindrical hole, 12 mm plate size

Consistent cutting performance with a sharp uncoated grade

The uncoated TH10 carbide grade is formulated as a sharp universal solution for non‑ferrous materials, where a clean cutting edge and low cutting forces are decisive. The combination of an uncoated cutting edge and the insert’s geometry results in reduced burr formation and improved surface finish, especially on aluminium alloys and messings. In practice, this means fewer downstream operations and more predictable cycle times on small to medium lathes. The sharp edge is also advantageous when machining delicate contours or thin‑walled parts, as reduced forces lower the risk of distortion during turning.

Predictable fit and secure clamping for interchangeability

Compliance with ISO dimensions ensures that the insert matches holders defined by form, clearance angle and tolerance class. The square form, 12 mm plate size and 4.76 mm thickness pair with the centrally located cylindrical hole to allow secure mounting and straightforward replacement. The insert’s 0° clearance and the 90° included angle offer a standard engagement geometry that is familiar to workshops and simplifies tool inventory management. Because compatibility is determined by form, free angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness, the insert is suitable for most ISO‑compatible holders once these parameters are checked.

Productivity advantages and recommended applications

Choosing a universal, sharp insert such as this can reduce setup complexity and inventory variety while maintaining processing quality. The 0.8 mm corner radius provides a balance between robustness and finishing capability, suitable for light to medium turning operations. Without an integrated chipbreaker, the insert performs best in continuous cuts and applications where chip control is managed by cutting conditions or external assistance. Typical use cases include finishing and light roughing on aluminium, messings, plastics and other non‑ferrous materials where low cutting forces and clean surfaces are priorities.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The SNMA120408 TH10 Tungaloy indexable insert (SKU: 6806624‑Tungaloy) is optimised for non‑ferrous materials such as aluminium and brass, and for applications where a sharp, uncoated cutting edge supports low cutting forces and a clean surface finish.

How does the insert clamp to the holder?
The insert uses a central cylindrical hole and standard square geometry for ISO‑compatible holders; compatibility is determined by the holder’s form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness as described for the insert.

Is a chipbreaker integrated in this grade?
This insert is supplied without a chipbreaker, so chip control should be managed via cutting parameters, external chip control systems or suitable toolholder geometry.

What advantages does the TH10 uncoated grade provide?
TH10 offers a sharp, universal carbide edge that lowers cutting forces and improves surface finish in non‑ferrous turning operations, which can reduce secondary finishing and increase process efficiency.
