TNGG 160404 TH10 triangular ISO turning insert by Tungaloy — 0.4 mm nose radius, 60° cutting edge

The TNGG160404 TH10 is a triangular, ISO‑standard indexable insert designed for turning applications; optimised for low‑force cutting and clean surfaces when machining non‑ferrous materials and similar workpieces

• ISO‑standard triangular insert
• Uncoated carbide TH10 grade
• 0.4 mm nose radius for fine finishes
• Cylindrical hole, 4.76 mm thick, double‑sided

Consistent cutting geometry for predictable production

The triangular indexable insert delivers a stable cutting edge geometry that supports repeatable machining results in both external and internal turning. The combination of a 60° cutting angle and 0° rake produces a favourable force distribution at the tool tip, reducing chatter and enabling steady tool life. For production environments where process reliability matters, this geometry reduces downtime by lowering the frequency of regrinds and adjustments while maintaining dimensional consistency.

TH10 uncoated carbide: efficient cutting with clean surfaces

The uncoated TH10 grade offers a sharp, universal cutting edge that is particularly effective on non‑ferrous materials and operations requiring minimal cutting forces. Because the grade is uncoated, the edge forms are extremely keen, which helps to produce clean surface finishes and reduces the risk of built‑up edge in sticky materials. The customer benefit is clear: fewer secondary operations to rectify surface defects and improved part quality for subsequent assembly or finishing stages.

Practical design for secure mounting and economical indexing

The insert’s cylindrical hole and standard ISO form ensure compatibility with a wide range of external holders and toolposts; compatibility is governed by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness. With a 4.76 mm plate thickness and double‑sided chipbreaker, the insert offers two usable edges per index, improving cost‑efficiency in batch production. The 0.4 mm nose radius balances edge strength with the ability to achieve fine surface detail, making this insert suitable where a narrow corner radius is required without compromising stability.

Choosing the right application and extending tool life

For best results, match the TH10 grade and chipbreaker style to the workpiece material and the desired surface finish. The sharp nature of the uncoated carbide favours moderate feed rates and controlled cutting speeds to avoid premature edge wear; when machining aluminium, non‑ferrous alloys or soft steels, the insert’s geometry helps to maintain low cutting forces and minimise thermal loading. Selecting a holder and clamping set that conforms to ISO tolerances will ensure correct seat and screw engagement, which in turn supports consistent performance and maximises indexable lives.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for? The TNGG160404 TH10 insert is optimised for non‑ferrous materials and applications where a sharp, uncoated carbide edge reduces cutting forces and delivers clean surfaces.

How many cutting edges are available per insert? With a double‑sided chipbreaker and triangular geometry, the TNGG160404 provides multiple usable edges per index, improving overall cost efficiency.

Is the insert compatible with ISO‑standard holders? Yes — the insert follows ISO‑standard dimensions (160404) and compatibility depends on holder form, clearance angle, tolerance and fixing method.

What benefits does the 0.4 mm nose radius provide? A 0.4 mm nose radius offers a balance between edge strength and surface finish capability, enabling finer detail while maintaining stability during turning operations.

Does TH10 require a coating for better wear resistance? TH10 is an uncoated, sharp universal grade designed to produce low cutting forces and clean finishes; coatings are typically chosen when increased abrasive wear resistance is required.
