TCGT 16T304 TH10 Wendeplatten - Tungaloy

Take advantage of the sharp TH10 uncoated carbide grade and the ISO 60° triangular geometry to achieve low cutting forces and consistently clean finishes in turning operations; order the genuine insert via Metav Werkzeuge or consult the team for application-specific cutting data.

TCGT16T304 TH10 Tungaloy insert — ISO triangular turning insert for turning, uncoated carbide, 60° geometry

The TCGT16T304 TH10 is an ISO triangular turning insert designed for external and internal turning where low cutting forces and clean surface quality are priorities, especially in non-ferrous applications.

• ISO triangular 60° geometry
• Uncoated carbide grade TH10
• 0.4 mm corner radius
• Single-sided chipbreaker with mounting hole

Consistent surfaces and efficient cutting from an uncoated, sharp grade

The combination of a sharp uncoated carbide cutting edge and the TH10 grade reduces built-up edge and keeps cutting forces low, which is especially beneficial when machining softer, ductile materials. A reduced tendency for material adhesion leads to cleaner surface finishes and less rework, while the sharp edge geometry helps maintain dimensional stability at moderate feeds and speeds. This makes the insert a practical choice for series production where maintaining surface integrity is critical and tool change frequency must be minimised.

Predictable seating and system compatibility for stable machining

Compatibility with the clamping system is governed by the insert form, 7° clearance angle, tolerance class, mounting method, size and thickness. The triangular shape with a cylindrical hole and single-side countersink (40°–60°) ensures positive locating and repeatable seating in compatible holders. When combined with a suitable external holder or boring bar, underlay/clamping set and replacement screws, users benefit from reduced vibration, consistent chip flow and predictable tool life, supporting stable, high-precision turning processes.

Practical guidance for selection and application

Select the single-sided chipbreaker and grade in line with workpiece material and machine rigidity: the grade is optimised for non-ferrous materials and operations that demand low cutting forces and good surface integrity. The insert’s 0.4 mm corner radius and 3.97 mm thickness balance edge strength with the ability to produce fine profiles; the 60° included angle offers multiple indexing positions for extended service life. For best results, match cutting parameters and holder geometry to the component’s clamping conditions and the chosen chipbreaker style to sustain productivity and surface quality.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The TCGT16T304 TH10 Tungaloy insert is optimised for non-ferrous materials and similar applications where an uncoated carbide edge delivers low cutting forces and clean surface results.

How does the insert locate in a holder?
Location is achieved via the cylindrical hole with single-side countersink (40°–60°); correct seating depends on matching holder form, tolerance class and clamping components.

What advantages does the TH10 grade provide?
TH10 is a sharp, universal uncoated carbide grade that reduces built-up edge formation, supporting improved surface finish and lower cutting forces in compatible turning operations.

Which chipbreaker should be chosen for stable chip control?
The single-sided chipbreaker supplied offers good chip control for the intended material range; select chipbreaker geometry according to workpiece material, feed and rigidity for optimal chip evacuation.

Are there specific dimensional values to check before ordering?
Check the insert size (16 mm), thickness (3.97 mm), corner radius (0.4 mm) and the 60° included angle to ensure fit with the intended holder and application.
