TNGA 160412 FX105 ISO turning insert, triangle 60° — Tungaloy

A TNGA160412 FX105 turning insert designed for ISO-compatible external and internal turning applications, offering a balanced mix of wear resistance and edge stability.

• ISO 160412 triangle insert with 60° geometry
• FX105 Tungaloy grade for wear resistance
• 1.2 mm corner radius for robust edge strength
• Cylindrical hole for secure clamping

Consistent ISO geometry for predictable results

The ISO 160412 designation denotes a standardised triangular insert form that simplifies holder selection and process planning. The 60° cutting angle provides stable engagement in both external and internal turning routines, while the triangular shape allows three indexed cutting edges, reducing changeover time. Compatibility with a holder is determined by shape, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness, so the part secures reliably in compatible clamping systems. This design focus translates into predictable chip loads and repeatable cycle times.

FX105 grade: balanced wear resistance and edge stability

The FX105 cutting grade from Tungaloy combines wear resistance with sufficient toughness to maintain a stable cutting edge under variable conditions. That balance reduces flank wear and helps preserve dimensional accuracy over multiple parts, extending effective tool life without compromising cutting performance. For production environments prioritising consistent surface quality and fewer insert changes, the grade supports higher productivity while keeping process windows manageable. The carbide base material sustains the mechanical and thermal loads typical of turning operations.

Practical dimensions and secure handling reduce downtime

Key dimensions — 16 mm plate size, 4.76 mm thickness and a 1.2 mm corner radius — provide a robust cutting edge suited to medium-duty turning tasks where edge integrity matters. The insert features a cylindrical hole for positive mechanical location and secure clamping, and a 0° clearance angle where specified by the geometry, simplifying seat design for compatible holders. The system concept comprises the insert plus a matching external holder or boring bar, shim/clamp set and replacement screws; this modularity enables fast index changes and limits fixture-related errors.

FAQ

What determines whether this insert fits a specific holder?
Compatibility depends on the insert form and dimensions; the TNGA160412 insert fits holders designed for ISO 160412 geometry and is located and clamped via the cylindrical hole and matching clamping set.

Which cutting conditions suit the FX105 grade?
The FX105 grade from Tungaloy is formulated to balance wear resistance and toughness, making it suitable for general turning tasks where edge stability and extended life are required; selection of chipbreaker and cutting data should match the workpiece and process stability.

How is the insert secured in the holder?
This triangular insert uses a cylindrical hole and standard clamping hardware (shim and clamping screw) for positive location and secure fastening in compatible ISO holders.

Does the insert include a chipbreaker?
The supplied TNGA160412 FX105 variant is specified without a chipbreaker; chip control is achieved via suitable holder geometry or alternative insert grades with integrated breakers.

How does the 1.2 mm corner radius affect performance?
A 1.2 mm corner radius increases edge strength and helps maintain dimensional stability under intermittent cuts, offering a compromise between edge robustness and achievable surface finish.
