TNGG160304 X407 Tungaloy insert — ISO turning insert for external and internal turning

A TNGG160304 X407 triangular turning insert designed for ISO-standard holders, offering a balance of wear resistance and edge stability for general turning applications

• ISO-standard triangular insert, 60° geometry
• Carbide grade X407 for wear resistance
• Double-sided chipbreaker for efficient indexing
• Cylindrical hole and 0° relief for secure holder fit

Fast integration into ISO-based tool systems

The ISO-standard designation guarantees direct compatibility with holders and boring bars that accept the 160304 form; fit depends on form, 0° relief, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness. This standardisation reduces setup time and supports consistent clamping repeatability on series production. Compatibility with existing tool systems simplifies inventory management and minimises downtime when replacing cutting edges.

Material grade engineered for consistent wear and edge stability

The carbide X407 grade from Tungaloy combines wear resistance and sufficient toughness to maintain a stable cutting edge under common turning conditions. This balance reduces flank wear and the risk of premature chipping, delivering more predictable tool life and fewer unscheduled indexings. The result is improved process reliability and a clearer cost-per-part calculation for production planning.

Geometry that supports precision and surface quality

The triangular plate form with a 60° included angle and a corner radius 0.4 mm provides a stable support area for radial forces and promotes consistent surface finish during both external and internal turning. A double-sided chipbreaker design enhances chip control and allows economical flipping of the insert, while the cylindrical hole and 3.18 mm plate thickness ensure secure seating in the clamping system. These geometric choices contribute directly to machining stability and repeatable results.

Production benefits: predictable performance and efficient handling

Indexed use of a double-sided insert reduces tooling costs per edge and eases logistical handling in the toolroom. The 16 mm plate size and the standardised designation simplify the selection of matching holders, shims and clamping kits as part of the ISO tool system. Fewer tool changes and consistent cutting behaviour increase machine availability and support steady production throughput while maintaining surface quality targets.

Practical selection guidance for reliable machining

Select the double-sided chipbreaker and X407 grade to match workpiece material, cutting parameters and machine rigidity; for unstable setups a tougher grade or a larger corner radius can improve robustness. The system comprises the insert, a suitable external holder or boring bar, a backing shim/clamping set and replacement screws, enabling quick replacement and secure clamping without complex adjustments.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The TNGG160304 X407 insert is specified for general turning tasks; the X407 grade provides a balance of wear resistance and toughness suitable for a broad range of steels and general engineering materials.

How does the insert sit in the holder and what ensures stability?
Stability is ensured by the triangular 160304 form, the cylindrical hole and 3.18 mm plate thickness, which together secure the insert in the clamping seat of compatible ISO holders.

Can the insert be indexed to use multiple cutting edges?
Yes, the double-sided chipbreaker design permits economical indexing of the insert, allowing use of both faces to extend edge life and reduce tooling cost per edge.

What is the corner radius and how does it affect finishing?
The insert features a 0.4 mm corner radius, which supports improved surface finish and a balance between edge strength and cutting forces for many turning operations.

Which SKU should be referenced when ordering or checking stock?
Reference SKU 6808135-Tungaloy or manufacturer SKU TUN6808135 when enquiring about the TNGG160304 X407 Tungaloy turning insert
