Higher productivity through multidirectional capability

The AddMultiTurn system delivers a productive solution for operations requiring multiple cutting directions without frequent tool changes. The combination of a triangular plate and 60° geometry permits stable cutting in longitudinal, facing and profile passes while minimising repositioning time. Integrating such an insert into a turning cell reduces non-cutting time and supports more consistent cycle times. The design of the system — holder, indexable plates and clamping mechanism — is focused on maintaining accuracy across repeated tool indexing, which translates into measurable throughput gains on batch production runs.

Reduced cutting forces and improved surface quality with TH10

The uncoated TH10 grade is a sharp universal carbide intended for non-ferrous materials and applications where a clean cutting edge lowers cutting forces and enhances finish. An uncoated carbide face gives a highly defined cutting edge that reduces built-up edge on softer alloys and plastics, delivering better surface integrity. The 0.8 mm nose radius balances edge strength and fine profile definition: larger radii raise cutting forces, while smaller radii risk premature wear; this radius is therefore a compromise that supports both dimensional control and consistent surface finish in profile turning.

Robust clamping and quick indexability for shop-floor efficiency

Secure locating is provided by the cylindrical hole and the plate geometry, enabling consistent seat seating and repeatable tool positioning during index changes. The AddMultiTurn system's modular approach means that holders and clamps are matched to the plate form to preserve cutting geometry after each index. As an indexable solution, the insert reduces setup complexity and tool-change downtime compared with brazed or solid cutters, contributing to lower tool inventory costs and faster turnaround. For workshops seeking reliable performance with straightforward tool management, this insert supports predictable part quality and easier spindle planning.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The TNGA160408 TH10 insert is specified for non‑ferrous materials and applications where an uncoated, sharp carbide edge supports low cutting forces and clean surfaces; its TH10 grade is optimised for such use.

Which turning operations are recommended with this plate?
Longitudinal turning, facing and profile turning are the typical applications for this triangular indexable plate within the AddMultiTurn system.

How does the 0.8 mm nose radius affect component finish?
A 0.8 mm nose radius offers a balance between edge robustness and surface integrity, enabling fine profile control without excessive cutting force that could degrade finish.

Is a special holder required for mounting the plate?
The plate is intended for the AddMultiTurn system; matching holders and a secure clamping mechanism with a cylindrical locating hole ensure repeatable seating and safe index changes for the TNGA160408 insert.
