TNGA160404 LX21 indexable turning insert — triangular 60° geometry, carbide grade by Tungaloy

TNGA160404 LX21 is a triangular ISO indexable turning insert designed for general external and internal turning applications and compatible with standard ISO‑form holders

• Triangle 60° geometry for versatile turning
• LX21 Tungaloy grade: wear-resistant carbide
• 0.4 mm corner radius for defined edge
• Cylindrical hole, standard thickness 4.76 mm

Consistent cutting geometry for repeatable results

The ISO designation and triangular 60° form deliver a reliable cutting interface that supports repeatable set‑ups and predictable part dimensions. As an indexable insert, the component provides three usable edges per insert, reducing tool change frequency and supporting continuous production. The 60° point angle is versatile for both profile and straight turning, while the 0.4 mm corner radius gives a defined edge that balances cutting strength and surface finish. These geometric characteristics simplify tool selection and contribute to process stability on the shop floor.

Material technology aimed at extended tool life

The LX21 Tungaloy grade combines wear resistance and edge stability, optimised for a broad range of turning tasks. Manufactured in carbide, the grade is selected to maintain cutting edge integrity under moderate to demanding conditions, helping to reduce flank wear and maintain surface quality over longer tool life. This technical combination allows higher cumulative machining time between changes, which supports higher overall productivity and lower tool handling effort in batch and continuous operations.

Secure mounting and practical holder compatibility

The insert features a cylindrical hole and a standard plate thickness of 4.76 mm, designed for stable clamping in compatible holders. Compatibility with the chosen holder depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; verifying these parameters ensures correct seating and reliable clamping. The insert’s geometry and hole style support straightforward indexing and replacement, while the 0° clearance angle specification aids in selecting suitable insert seats and negative‑rake holder designs for stable cutting conditions.

Clear guidance for application and selection

This insert is intended for turning operations where a plain geometry without an integrated chipbreaker is acceptable; select a chip control solution or matching holder if chip formation requires management. For external and internal turning, pair the insert’s LX21 grade with appropriate feeds and speeds to exploit its wear resistance and edge stability. When machining different workpiece materials, choose cutting parameters and coolant strategies that match the carbide grade and the insert’s geometry to achieve the required surface quality and productivity.
