TNGA160408 FX105 triangular indexable insert for turning — Tungaloy (AddMultiTurn, 60°)

A TNGA160408 FX105 turning insert designed for multidirectional turning, facing and profile work within the AddMultiTurn system for efficient single-tool multi-direction machining.

• Multidirectional AddMultiTurn system compatible
• FX105 Tungaloy grade for wear resistance
• Triangular insert, 60° cutting angle
• Corner radius 0.8 mm for profile work
• Cylindrical centre hole for secure clamping

Reduce set-ups and raise productivity with multidirectional turning

The AddMultiTurn concept permits several cutting directions using a single tool assembly, which reduces tool changes and machine idle time. The triangular indexable insert is engineered for multidirectional turning, allowing longitudinal, facing and profile operations without frequent holder swaps. The insert’s integration into the AddMultiTurn system translates directly into improved throughput and simpler tool logistics on the shop floor. By relying on a single, robust insert geometry, production planners can expect fewer interventions, faster cycle times and a more consistent process flow.

Stable edge life and predictable surface quality from FX105

The cutting grade FX105, developed by Tungaloy, balances wear resistance and toughness to provide sustained cutting-edge stability under typical turning conditions. In practice, this means a longer interval between indexings and fewer scrap parts due to edge deterioration. For users less familiar with grade terminology: the grade optimises the microstructure and coating to resist abrasion while maintaining enough fracture resistance for interrupted cuts. The result is repeatable surface finishes and predictable tool life, which support tighter production planning and lower overall machining costs.

Robust geometry and clamping for repeatable accuracy

The insert’s triangular form and 60° included angle combine with a cylindrical centre hole to deliver secure clamping and consistent seat position within the holder. The corner radius 0.8 mm is suitable for medium profiling and finishing passes, offering a compromise between strength and fine edge definition. A plate thickness of 4.76 mm ensures sufficient body stiffness while keeping the cutting edge accessible for accurate cutting. The insert is supplied without a chipbreaker, which is suited to operators who prefer to control chip formation via cutting parameters or specialised holders. Together, these design choices support repeatable tolerances and simplified set-up procedures.

FAQ

What machining tasks is this insert suited for? The TNGA160408 FX105 Tungaloy indexable insert is intended for turning operations, covering longitudinal turning, facing and profiling within a multidirectional AddMultiTurn setup.

Which materials can be machined with this grade? The FX105 grade on the TNGA160408 insert is formulated for general turning tasks and offers a balance of wear resistance and toughness suitable for a wide range of steel and alloy turning applications.

Does the insert include a chipbreaker? This insert is supplied without a chipbreaker; chip control must therefore be achieved by cutting parameters or holder design when using the TNGA160408.

How does the cylindrical hole affect clamping security? The cylindrical centre hole provides a positive location and repeatable seating in compatible holders, increasing clamping stability for the TNGA160408 and supporting consistent cutting geometry.

What benefits does the 0.8 mm corner radius provide? A corner radius of 0.8 mm on the TNGA160408 balances edge strength and finish capability, making it suitable for medium-profile turning and finishing passes.
