SNMG120404 TH10 Turning Insert — Tungaloy

The SNMG120404 TH10 is an ISO-format turning insert designed for external and internal turning, offering a sharp uncoated carbide grade optimised for non‑ferrous materials.

• ISO SNMG shape, 90° included angle
• Uncoated cemented carbide TH10 grade
• Double-sided chipbreaker for stable chips
• Cylindrical hole for secure clamping

High-performance turning with reduced cutting forces

The uncoated TH10 cemented carbide grade is formulated to deliver a low cutting force and a clean surface finish in non‑ferrous machining. This results in reduced spindle load and smoother feed behaviour during aluminium, brass and plastic turning. The combination of a sharp cutting edge and optimised chip control supports consistent cycle times, making the insert a pragmatic choice where machining efficiency and part integrity are priorities.

Precision geometry for reliable toolholder compatibility

The square SNMG geometry with a 90° included angle and a 0.4 mm corner radius provides predictable engagement and consistent part geometry. The insert is manufactured to ISO dimensions so compatibility with holders is determined by shape, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The presence of a cylindrical hole and the standard thickness ensure secure clamping and repeatable positioning when used with the appropriate external holder or boring bar.

Chip management and material suitability explained

A double-sided chipbreaker is incorporated to promote controlled chip formation and evacuation at typical feeds for non‑ferrous materials. As an uncoated grade, the cutting edge avoids build‑up and is suitable where low cutting temperature and excellent surface appearance are required. The insert is therefore recommended for turning tasks on aluminium, brass and many plastics, and for applications where minimal burr and a fine finish are essential.

Practical system benefits and shopfloor efficiency

The ISO insert design supports a modular system: the insert works together with a matching external holder or boring bar, a shim/clamping set and standard replacement screws. This system approach simplifies inventory management and reduces downtime for indexation or replacement. Using ISO‑compliant inserts also facilitates fast changeover across machines and operators, contributing to improved process reliability and predictable production flow.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The SNMG120404 TH10 insert from Tungaloy is optimised for non‑ferrous materials such as aluminium and brass, as well as various plastics where low cutting forces and a clean surface finish are required.

Is the SNMG120404 compatible with standard ISO SNMG holders?
Yes. The insert follows ISO dimensions, so compatibility depends on holder form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; it is intended for standard SNMG toolholders and boring bars.

How does the double-sided chipbreaker affect machining?
The double-sided chipbreaker on this indexable insert promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation, improving surface quality and reducing the risk of built-up edge in suitable materials.

Can the uncoated TH10 grade be used at high speeds?
The TH10 uncoated cemented carbide grade is chosen for its low cutting forces and clean finish in non‑ferrous machining; cutting speed suitability should be assessed against the specific material, machine rigidity and coolant strategy.

How many cutting edges are available per insert?
The SNMG120404 is double-sided, providing multiple indexable edges; edge count depends on indexation practice and the specific insert geometry.
