TNGA160308 TH10 Tungaloy indexable insert for Turning – triangular, 60°, 0.8 mm radius

The TNGA160308 is an ISO‑standard triangular indexable insert designed for external and internal turning, featuring an uncoated carbide cutting edge optimised for non‑ferrous materials and applications that demand low cutting forces

• ISO‑standard triangular insert, 60° geometry
• Uncoated carbide TH10 for low cutting forces
• 0.8 mm corner radius for reliable edge strength
• Cylindrical hole and 3.18 mm thickness for secure clamping

Consistent cutting performance with a sharp uncoated grade

The combination of the TH10 grade and an uncoated carbide substrate reduces friction and helps to maintain a clean surface finish in applications with low to moderate cutting speeds. This grade is selected where a sharp, uncoated edge supports lower cutting forces and superior finish on non‑ferrous materials; the insert geometry with a 60° included angle concentrates cutting loads effectively while the 0.8 mm corner radius balances edge strength with profile fidelity. As a result, machining cycles benefit from predictable cutting behaviour and reduced rework.

Reliable clamping and ISO compatibility for predictable repeatability

Built to ISO dimensions, the insert’s form, relief angle and tolerance class determine holder compatibility; the TNGA format and the cylindrical hole allow positive location and stable torque transmission when used with the correct seat and clamping set. The 3.18 mm plate thickness and 0° relief (facing angle) contribute to axial stability in the toolholder, reducing micro‑movement that can affect surface quality. Where process consistency matters, standardised interfaces simplify tool change and maintainability, supporting short downtime and consistent component quality.

Application focus and practical selection guidance

Intended for turning tasks, this insert is most effective in external and internal operations on non‑ferrous workpieces such as aluminium and brass, where the uncoated edge minimises built‑up edge and preserves finish. The insert is supplied without a chipbreaker, so selection of cutting parameters and coolant strategy should account for chip control requirements; pairing the insert with a holder that offers the correct approach angle and rigidity will ensure the best results. For mixed production, matching the insert grade and chip control options to material and stability yields the greatest productivity gains.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The TNGA160308 TH10 Tungaloy insert is optimised for non‑ferrous materials such as aluminium and brass, where an uncoated carbide edge supports low cutting forces and a high‑quality surface finish.

Is the insert compatible with standard ISO holders?
Yes, the insert follows ISO TNGA dimensions; compatibility depends on holder form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening and thickness, so confirm the holder matches the ISO TNGA seat.

Does this insert include a chipbreaker?
No, this TNGA160308 insert is supplied without a chipbreaker; chip control should be managed via cutting parameters and the chosen holder geometry.

How does the 0.8 mm corner radius affect performance?
A 0.8 mm corner radius offers a balance between edge strength and profile accuracy, improving resistance to edge chipping while maintaining good surface integrity in turning operations.

Which clamping features ensure repeatable positioning?
The cylindrical hole and the 3.18 mm plate thickness contribute to secure clamping and repeatable positioning when used with the correct clamping set and underlay.
