TCGT 16T308 TH10 — ISO triangular turning insert (60°), Tungaloy

The TCGT16T308 TH10 is an ISO-standard triangular turning insert engineered for external and internal turning where an uncoated carbide grade supports low cutting forces and improved surface quality.

• ISO triangular insert with 60° included angle
• Uncoated carbide grade TH10 for low cutting forces
• 0.8 mm corner radius for balanced edge strength
• Cylindrical hole with single-side countersink

Versatile geometry for dependable turning performance

The triangular 60° geometry provides three usable cutting edges per index, enabling efficient tool use and rapid edge changes. The combination of a medium 0.8 mm corner radius and the 60° included angle offers a compromise between edge strength and surface quality: the radius supports consistent finish while avoiding excessive cutting forces common with larger radii. As an ISO-standard insert, compatibility with holders is determined by form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening and plate thickness, allowing use in many established turning tool systems.

Low cutting forces and clean surface results through material choice

The TH10 grade is an uncoated carbide chosen for applications where reduced cutting resistance and good surface integrity matter, particularly with non-ferrous materials and sensitive finishes. Uncoated carbide gives a sharp cutting edge that minimises built-up edge and thermal coating interactions, which helps maintain dimensional accuracy in delicate operations. When machining softer alloys or mixed batches, this grade reduces power draw and contributes to more predictable chip formation, translating directly into higher process efficiency.

Secure clamping and stable cutting conditions for repeatable outcomes

Mechanical stability is enhanced by a cylindrical hole with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°) that ensures positive, repeatable seating in the clamping system. The plate thickness of 3.97 mm and the 7° relief angle further support rigidity during turning, reducing vibration and improving tool life under typical shop conditions. The insert’s single-sided chipbreaker is optimised to control chip flow for standard turning tasks; selecting the correct chipbreaker and grade for the workpiece material will improve productivity and surface quality in every pass.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The TH10 uncoated carbide grade is designed for non-ferrous materials and applications that benefit from lower cutting forces; it performs well on aluminium alloys and similar materials.

How many cutting edges are available per insert?
The triangular geometry provides three indexable cutting edges; the TCGT16T308 can be rotated to a fresh edge when one becomes worn.

Will the insert fit standard ISO turning holders?
The insert follows ISO dimensions; compatibility depends on holder form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening and thickness—check the holder specifications against the insert dimensions before use.

What role does the chipbreaker play in turning?
The single-sided chipbreaker controls chip shape and evacuation for common turning operations; matching chipbreaker geometry and grade to material and setup improves surface finish and process stability.
