TNGA160404 BX360 indexable insert for Turning — Tungaloy

TNGA160404 BX360 offers a CBN-based cutting solution for fine finishing of hardened components in turning operations

• CBN grade BX360 for hard finishing
• 60° triangular geometry for versatility
• 0.4 mm corner radius for fine turning
• ISO-compatible form and secure clamping

High-performance finishing for hardened steels

The BX360 grade is a cubic boron nitride (CBN) cutting material engineered for high-hardness applications, providing outstanding abrasion resistance and edge stability in finishing passes. In practice this means consistent surface quality and predictable wear behaviour when machining hardened steels and, depending on variant, certain grades of cast iron. The insert’s wear-resistant composition reduces frequency of index changes and supports tight tolerances during final passes.

Precision geometry for reliable seating and stability

The triangular plate with a 60° included angle and a 0.4 mm corner radius combines rigidity with controlled engagement for finishing cuts. The 0° clearance geometry suits applications where accurate depth control and stable chip formation are required. Compatibility with holders is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness; the ISO-standard layout simplifies selection of the appropriate external holder or boring bar for dependable clamping and repeatable tool offsets.

Integration into production for efficient, predictable results

Manufactured as an ISO-format indexable insert on a carbide substrate, the component is supplied with a cylindrical hole for secure retention and is specified without a chipbreaker to favour smooth finishing operations. This configuration supports long, uninterrupted cycles in serial production while maintaining surface integrity. For operations prioritising end-quality and process stability, the TNGA160404 BX360 insert delivers a balance of tool life and finish consistency that is easy to implement into existing toolholders.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for finishing hardened steels?
The TNGA160404 BX360 insert uses a CBN-based grade optimised for hardened steels, making it suitable for wear-intensive finishing operations that require consistent surface quality.

Can the insert be used in standard ISO toolholders?
Yes, the insert follows ISO geometry; compatibility is confirmed by matching form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness to the chosen holder.

Does the insert include a chipbreaker?
This variant is supplied without a chipbreaker, which benefits smooth finishing passes where minimal edge disturbance is desired.

What clamping method does the plate use?
The plate features a cylindrical hole for secure retention and is intended for use with matching insert seats, clamping sets and fastening screws.

Which materials beyond hardened steel can be machined with this grade?
Depending on the specific tool execution, the BX360 grade can also be applied to certain cast iron types; selection should follow component material and processing stability requirements.
