SPGN 090304 TH10 ISO turning insert, square QBN chipbreaker — Tungaloy

The SPGN 090304 TH10 is a square ISO turning insert for external and internal turning, designed for non‑ferrous materials and applications that benefit from a sharp, uncoated cutting edge.

• Sharp uncoated carbide grade TH10
• Square 90° cutting angle for facing and turning
• Chipbreaker QBN for controlled swarf
• 0.4 mm corner radius for fine surface finish
• ISO interchangeability for quick tool change

Engineered to reduce cutting forces and improve finish

The uncoated cemented carbide grade TH10 is formulated to provide a very sharp cutting edge that reduces cutting forces in soft and non‑ferrous alloys. This results in lower cutting forces and a clean surface finish, particularly where a delicate edge is advantageous. Because the grade is uncoated, adhesion and built‑up edge on materials such as aluminium and certain non‑ferrous alloys are minimised, helping to preserve dimensional accuracy during finishing passes.

Geometry that supports predictable chip control

The insert’s square geometry and 90° cutting angle create a stable cutting edge for facing and straight turning, while the chipbreaker QBN actively shapes swarf for consistent evacuation. The combination of a corner radius 0.4 mm and an 11° relief balances edge strength with low cutting resistance, delivering predictable tool behaviour and repeatable results across batches. These geometry features translate into fewer interruptions during short, repetitive cycles.

ISO compatibility for straightforward integration

As an ISO‑series turning insert, this part is designed for ISO interchangeability, which simplifies stocking and reduces changeover time. Key dimensions such as the insert size 09 and a plate thickness of 3.18 mm follow standard conventions, so the component mates with compatible ISO holders that match form, relief, tolerance class, fastening style, size and thickness. The standardisation supports faster setup and predictable tool replacement in production environments.

Suited applications and material guidance

This insert excels in turning operations with a focus on non‑ferrous materials, where a sharp, uncoated edge improves surface quality and reduces burr formation. Recommended use cases include external and internal turning where low cutting forces and clean finishes are priorities. The uncoated carbide grade performs well in finishing and light‑to‑medium machining of aluminium, brass and similar alloys, providing consistent results when combined with suitable feeds and speeds for the workpiece material.

Practical advantages for production workflows

Integrating this ISO square insert into a machining cell supports efficient tool handling and consistent process output. The clear geometry and chip control reduce variability, while the standard dimensions ease inventory management. Choosing this insert can contribute to stable cycle times and reliable surface quality across repetitive components, allowing operators and process planners to focus on optimisation rather than constant readjustment.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert designed for?
The SPGN 090304 TH10 insert is optimised for non‑ferrous materials such as aluminium and brass, where the uncoated cemented carbide edge supports low cutting forces and good surface quality.

What does the TH10 grade indicate?
TH10 denotes an uncoated, sharp universal carbide grade intended for applications that require a keen edge to reduce cutting resistance and achieve clean finishes on non‑ferrous workpieces.

How does the chipbreaker QBN affect machining?
The QBN chipbreaker shapes swarf for reliable evacuation and reduces the risk of entanglement, improving process stability during both external and internal turning operations.

Is the insert compatible with standard ISO holders?
Yes, the insert follows ISO dimensions (insert size 09, thickness 3.18 mm) and is compatible with holders that match its form, relief, tolerance class, fastening and thickness.

What influence does the 0.4 mm corner radius have on the part surface?
A 0.4 mm corner radius provides a balance between edge strength and a fine surface finish, making it suitable for finishing passes and operations where dimensional consistency is important.
