TCGT 080201 TH10 triangular turning insert — Tungaloy, uncoated carbide, 7° clearance

TCGT 080201 TH10 is an ISO-standard indexable insert for external and internal turning, optimised for non-ferrous materials and applications requiring low cutting forces and fine surface quality

• Sharp uncoated carbide cutting edge
• Triangular insert with 7° clearance angle
• Cylindrical hole plus 40°–60° countersink
• 0.1 mm corner radius for clean surface finish

Low cutting forces and improved surface quality for non‑ferrous turning

The combination of an uncoated carbide grade and a sharp geometry reduces friction and results in consistently low cutting forces. This leads to smoother feeds and helps to achieve a clean surface finish when machining aluminium, Messing and other non‑ferrous materials. The selected grade TH10 is a universal, sharp grade designed to support applications where a non‑coated cutting edge is advantageous; this choice reduces built‑up edge formation and makes chip evacuation more predictable. For less experienced purchasers: an uncoated tip often requires less cutting power at comparable settings, which can reduce spindle load and improve cycle stability.

Compatibility and easy integration with ISO holders

The insert follows ISO designation 080201, so compatibility with a suitable external holder is determined by shape, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The triangular shape with a 60° included angle and a 7° clearance ensures stable seating in standard ISO turning toolholders. The insert is supplied with a cylindrical hole and a one‑sided countersink (40°–60°), which fits common clamping screws and plates; correct matching of the holder and clamping set ensures repeatable positioning and tool life, particularly important in batch or automated production.

Predictable chip control and operational reliability

A one‑sided chipbreaker supports consistent chip formation on the intended side, improving chip guidance in many turning cycles. Combined with the TH10 grade, this geometry is suited to operations where controlled chips and clean surfaces are priorities. The uncoated carbide substrate provides mechanical stability at the cutting edge, and when paired with the correct feed and speed, the result is a productive cutting process with reduced risk of edge deformation. Choosing the appropriate chipbreaker and adjusting cutting parameters according to workpiece material optimises productivity and reduces downtime for insert changes.

Practical specifications and selection advice for purchasing

Key measurable attributes include a corner radius of 0.1 mm, a plate thickness of 2.38 mm and an insert size of 08 with a 60° included angle — details that determine the achievable surface finish and depth‑of‑cut limits. The insert is intended for turning (external and internal) and should be matched to the workpiece material and machining stability: lighter, sharp grades like TH10 suit lower cutting forces and fine finishing, whereas tougher coated grades (not applicable here) would be selected for interrupted cuts or harder materials. When replacing inserts, check the holder geometry, torque settings for the clamping screw and the tolerance class to maintain positioning accuracy and dimensional repeatability.

FAQ

Which holder types are compatible with this insert?
Compatibility depends on holder form, clamping method and tolerance class; the triangular geometry and cylindrical hole with countersink of the TCGT 080201 TH10 insert fit standard ISO triangular external holders and corresponding drill‑stem toolholders when the holder matches ISO 080201 dimensions.

Is this insert suitable for aluminium and Messing?
Yes, the TH10 uncoated carbide grade is designed as a sharp universal grade for non‑ferrous materials and supports low cutting forces and clean surface finishes on aluminium and Messing.

What is the recommended application for the chipbreaker?
The one‑sided chipbreaker is intended to produce controlled chips in continuous turning operations; use it where guided chip flow and improved surface quality are required, adjusting feeds accordingly for the material and depth of cut.

Can the insert be used for internal turning?
The insert is suitable for both external and internal turning when mounted in an appropriate ISO‑compatible boring bar or holder that accepts triangular inserts with the specified thickness and hole style.
