TNGA 160404 TH10 Turning indexable insert by Tungaloy — ISO triangular 60° geometry

TNGA160404 TH10 is an ISO‑standard triangular indexable insert for general turning applications, designed for clean finishes on non‑ferrous materials and sensitive operations.

• ISO TNGA160404 triangular insert, 60° geometry
• TH10 uncoated carbide grade for clean finishes
• 0.4 mm corner radius for precision turning
• Compatible with ISO toolholders, with cylindrical hole

Consistent cutting performance for turning operations

The triangular ISO geometry with a 60° included angle and a 0° relief produces predictable engagement angles and stable cutting conditions in both external and internal turning. The sharp TH10 uncoated grade is formulated to deliver low cutting forces and a clean machined surface when working with non‑ferrous materials and delicate components. The modest 0.4 mm corner radius balances edge strength with the ability to produce fine profiles and controlled chip formation, resulting in fewer secondary operations and improved cycle times.

Material and grade: why uncoated carbide is the right choice here

An uncoated carbide substrate provides a keen cutting edge beneficial where surface quality is paramount and where built‑up edge must be avoided. The TH10 grade supports operations that require a fresh, sharp cutting face rather than a coated, wear‑resistant surface — particularly advantageous for aluminium alloys, brass and other non‑ferrous materials. Using this grade reduces the tendency for material smearing and helps achieve consistent surface finishes, which can lead to less rework and higher first‑pass yield.

Practical compatibility and toolholder considerations

The insert is supplied in the ISO form TNGA160404 and its fit to the holder depends on geometry, relief angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness. The triangular form, inscribed circle 16 mm, plate thickness 4.76 mm and the cylindrical hole allow secure clamping in standard ISO turning holders. As there is no chipbreaker, the insert is most effective when combined with suitable cutting parameters and coolant strategies for the selected material. Selecting the correct holder and clamping kit ensures repeatable positioning and maximised insert life.

Productivity benefits and workshop integration

Adopting this insert in production setups emphasises reliable, repeatable machining rather than extreme tool life claims. The ISO form and standard hole style simplify inventory management and changeover, while the grade’s tendency for lower cutting forces can allow higher feed or reduced cutting power in some setups. The net result is a balance between finish quality and operational efficiency that supports stable process planning and predictable cycle times.
