TCGT 080201 TH10 – Tungaloy triangular turning insert for turning applications

The TCGT080201 TH10 is an ISO triangular indexable insert designed for external and internal turning, offering a sharp uncoated carbide grade and a 60° cutting geometry for reduced cutting forces and improved surface finish

• ISO triangular 60° geometry
• Sharp uncoated carbide grade TH10
• 0.1 mm corner radius for fine finishes
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

Reduced cutting forces for higher productivity

The combination of the TH10 cutting grade and an uncoated carbide substrate delivers notably low cutting forces, which in practice reduces spindle load and vibration during machining. This leads to more consistent cycle times and a higher probability of achieving the intended tolerances on workpieces made from non-ferrous and easy-to-cut materials. The sharp edge geometry supports a clean surface without the need for excessive feed reductions, allowing effective roughing-to-finishing transitions on the lathe. Selecting a matching chipbreaker and holder stability will further enhance process efficiency.

Secure fit and repeatable positioning in ISO holders

Designed to the ISO series of indexable inserts, the item features a 60° geometry and a standard triangular size that ensures compatibility with a wide range of external holders and boring bars. The 7° clearance and the cylindrical hole with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°) provide reliable clamping and repeatable indexing when changing positions on the toolpost. As a result, the insert enables predictable set-up and swift tool changes, reducing downtime and supporting stable batch production.

Predictable chip control and consistent tool life

A single-sided chipbreaker is integrated to improve chip control for typical turning operations, guiding swarf away from the cutting zone and reducing the risk of surface damage. The 0.1 mm corner radius combined with a 2.38 mm plate thickness yields a balanced edge strength for small radii finishing and light profiling tasks. With the correct holder geometry and cutting parameters, the combination of chipbreaker design and grade delivers steady wear behaviour, making process planning and tool-change intervals more reliable.

Practical applications and handling advice

Intended primarily for external and internal turning, the insert performs well where low cutting forces and good surface quality are required, particularly on non-ferrous materials or components that benefit from a sharp, uncoated edge. Installation should follow ISO clamping guidelines: match form, free angle, tolerance class, fastening and thickness to the chosen holder; the system includes the insert, appropriate outer holder or boring bar, and securing hardware. For tailored feed and speed recommendations, consult technical documentation or a machining specialist to align tool life and productivity goals.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The TH10 grade on the TCGT080201 insert is formulated as a sharp, uncoated carbide suitable for non-ferrous materials and applications where a low cutting force and clean surface are required.

How does the 0.1 mm corner radius affect surface finish?
A 0.1 mm corner radius produces fine surface results with reduced cutting forces; the small radius is ideal for light profiling and finishing operations using the Tungaloy insert.

Which toolholders are compatible with this insert?
Compatibility depends on form, free angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; the ISO TCGT format fits standard triangular ISO turning holders when those parameters match.

How does the single-sided chipbreaker improve machining?
The single-sided chipbreaker on this insert guides chips away from the cutting zone, improving chip control and reducing the likelihood of surface interference during turning cycles.

Is the insert indexable and easy to replace?
Yes, the triangular ISO format allows multiple index positions; secure clamping via the cylindrical hole and countersink ensures repeatable indexing and straightforward replacement.
