TNGA160404 TH03 ISO turning insert TNGA for turning, triangular, 0.4 mm radius — Tungaloy

A TNGA160404 TH03 indexable insert engineered for ISO-compliant external and internal turning applications, offering a sharp cutting edge and optimised chip formation where low cutting forces are required.

• ISO triangular insert, 16 mm, 0.4 mm radius
• Sharp-edge TH03 grade for low cutting forces
• Cylindrical hole for secure clamping

Improved machining efficiency with a sharp-edge grade

The triangular indexable insert is designed to combine precision with low cutting forces. The TH03 uncoated carbide grade features a sharp cutting edge that reduces power draw and promotes consistent chip formation, which supports stable machining and fewer interruptions. As an ISO-specification component, the geometry and 0° rake angle target situations where reduced cutting resistance and predictable material removal are priorities, helping to shorten cycle times and improve process reliability.

Secure mounting and straightforward holder compatibility

Compatibility with clamping systems follows ISO norms and is determined by form, free angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness. The insert’s cylindrical hole and standardised triangular form make it suitable for a wide range of ISO holders and boring bars; precise selection of the matching holder ensures secure clamping, repeatable indexing and straightforward replacement. For workshop planning, note the plate thickness and dimensions when matching toolholders to avoid clearance or stability issues.

Durable carbide construction and practical application guidance

Made from uncoated carbide, the insert offers consistent cutting-edge performance where sharp contact is needed rather than a coated finish. The moderate 0.4 mm corner radius balances edge strength and profile accuracy, making the geometry useful for finishing or light to medium turning passes where surface quality matters. Select an appropriate chipbreaker and grade according to workpiece stability and intended cut depth; the absence of an integrated chipbreaker here means the choice of cutting parameters and holder rigidity will directly influence chip control and surface finish.

FAQ

What materials is this insert designed for?
The insert in grade TH03 is intended for turning tasks where low cutting forces and good chip formation are required; the TNGA160404 performs well in applications favouring a sharp cutting edge rather than coated wear resistance.

How is the insert fixed to the toolholder?
The TNGA insert uses a cylindrical hole and ISO-compliant geometry for secure mounting; compatibility is determined by form, free angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness.

What cutting edge radius is available and what does it mean for finish?
This triangular insert has a 0.4 mm corner radius, which provides a balance between edge strength and surface quality, suitable for finishing and light to medium turning passes.

Does the insert include a chipbreaker?
The supplied specification indicates no integrated chipbreaker; chip control should therefore be achieved by selecting appropriate cutting parameters, holder rigidity and possibly an external chip control solution.

Which item codes identify this product for ordering?
Order using Manufacturer article number 6808087, SKU 6808087-Tungaloy or Manufacturer SKU TUN6808087 for the TNGA160404 TH03 indexable insert.
