TCGT16T302 TH10 triangular indexable insert for turning by Tungaloy — ISO 16T302

The TCGT16T302 TH10 is an ISO‑standard triangular indexable insert designed for external and internal turning, optimised for non‑ferrous materials and applications that benefit from a sharp, uncoated cutting edge.

• ISO‑standard triangular insert, 16 mm
• Sharp TH10 uncoated carbide grade
• 0.2 mm corner radius for fine finishes
• Cylindrical hole with single‑side countersink

Improved process reliability through material and geometry

The combination of a TH10 uncoated carbide grade and a triangular geometry provides predictable cutting behaviour in applications where low cutting forces are important. The sharp cutting edge supports reduced chatter and a consistent chip formation, which translates into a more stable machining process and fewer interruptions. Thanks to the ISO standard form, compatibility with a wide range of holders is achieved by matching the insert’s form, 7° relief angle, tolerance class, fastening and thickness, ensuring straightforward integration into existing tool systems.

Consistent surface finish and controlled cutting forces

A 0.2 mm corner radius and the sharp uncoated edge combine to yield fine surface quality on softer and non‑ferrous workpieces, while the single‑side chipbreaker helps to manage swarf and preserve edge life where lower cutting forces are preferred. The geometry is tailored to assist in achieving cleaner finishes without aggressive cutting‑edge coatings, making the insert suitable for operations where minimal burr and tight surface tolerances are required.

Secure seating and repeatable clamping for production use

The insert’s cylindrical hole with a single‑side countersink (40°–60°) ensures reliable mechanical anchoring and repeatable seating when paired with the appropriate clamping set and screws. The 3.97 mm thickness and the ISO‑defined size permit secure fixation and straightforward indexing, which reduces setup time and supports uninterrupted series production. Compatibility is determined by matching form, size and thickness to the selected holder and clamping system.

Application guidance and efficiency gains

Intended for external and internal turning, the insert is particularly effective on non‑ferrous materials and in turning operations where a clean surface and low power consumption are priorities. Selecting the TH10 grade aligns cutting performance with economy: sharper, uncoated edges lower cutting forces and may extend productive runtime in suitable applications. For users seeking predictable, repeatable results, this geometry and grade combination offers a pragmatic balance of finish quality and tool life.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The TCGT16T302 with TH10 grade is optimised for non‑ferrous materials and similar workpieces where a sharp, uncoated edge improves surface finish.

How does the chipbreaker affect machining?
The single‑side chipbreaker supports controlled chip formation and evacuation, aiding consistent surface quality and reducing risk of entanglement.

What determines holder compatibility for this insert?
Compatibility depends on the insert form, 7° relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; matching these ensures secure seating.

Can the insert be used for both external and internal turning?
Yes — the geometry and thickness make the insert suitable for both external and internal turning applications.

What is the corner radius and why is it important?
The corner radius is 0.2 mm; a small radius contributes to finer surface finishes and lower cutting forces in suitable operations.
