TCGT 16T308 TH10 Tungaloy — TCGT16T308 indexable insert for Turning (triangular, 60°)

A TCGT16T308 TH10 indexable insert for general turning, designed as an ISO‑standard triangular insert for use in external and internal turning operations.

• ISO‑standard triangular insert for turning
• Uncoated carbide TH10 for low cutting forces
• Single‑sided chipbreaker for clean chip control
• With cylindrical hole and one‑side countersink
• 60° geometry with 0.8 mm corner radius

Consistent surface quality with a sharp uncoated grade

The triangular indexable insert is supplied in an uncoated carbide TH10 grade that promotes low cutting forces and a clean surface finish on non‑ferrous workpieces. The sharp, universal cutting edge reduces built‑up edge formation and helps maintain tool life in applications where a coated grade would increase friction. For manufacturers seeking predictable results on aluminium or brass, the combination of geometry and material provides stable cutting behaviour and simplified machining parameters.

Reliable mounting and holder compatibility for production workflows

Designed as an ISO‑standard turning plate, the insert features a cylindrical hole with a one‑side countersink (40°–60°) that ensures secure clamping in suitable adapters and toolholders. Compatibility with holders is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness, so the 60° insert profile and 7° clearance align with a wide range of external and internal turning tool systems. This predictability supports efficient change‑overs and reduces setup time on the shop floor.

Geometry engineered for chip control and dimensional stability

The single‑sided chipbreaker geometry provides controlled chip formation for many turning tasks while the 0.8 mm corner radius balances edge strength and fine surface appearance. The 3.97 mm thickness and triangular form deliver repeatable seating and positional stability in the pocket, which is particularly valuable for serial production where consistent tolerance adherence is required. Where short‑to‑medium cutting lengths are common, this insert achieves an advantageous compromise between robustness and precision.

Practical benefits for machining teams and process planners

As a universal solution for non‑ferrous and similar materials, the insert reduces the need for multiple special grades, simplifying inventory and tool selection. The uncoated carbide substrate supports ease of use at moderate cutting speeds and allows operators to focus on achieving target feeds and depths without compensating for excessive friction. For process planners, the combination of ISO conformity, defined relief angle and standardised mounting features makes this insert a dependable choice for repeatable production runs.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The TCGT16T308 TH10 insert is optimised for non‑ferrous materials and applications where an uncoated cutting edge supports low cutting forces and a clean surface finish.

Which holders are compatible with this ISO insert?
Compatibility depends on holder form, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; the TCGT16T308’s cylindrical hole with countersink fits standard ISO‑conforming turning holders designed for 16T308 inserts.

Can this insert be used for finishing cuts?
Yes — the 0.8 mm corner radius and sharp TH10 grade are suitable for producing fine surface finishes in finishing and light profiling operations on appropriate materials.

Is the insert coated or uncoated, and why does that matter?
The insert is uncoated (TH10), which reduces friction and built‑up edge on softer, non‑ferrous materials; this choice supports lower cutting forces and improved surface quality compared with some coated grades.

What does the 60° geometry mean for machining?
A 60° triangular geometry provides three cutting edges per insert and a versatile cutting profile for general turning tasks; the TCGT16T308’s geometry balances accessibility to features with sufficient rigidity.
