TNGG 160404 X407 — Tungaloy turning insert, ISO triangular, 60°

TNGG160404 X407 is a Tungaloy indexable insert for turning, engineered as an ISO-standard triangular cutting solution with a 60° geometry for external and internal turning operations

• ISO-standard triangular insert
• Cemented carbide grade X407
• Double-sided chipbreaker for versatility
• 60° cutting angle with cylindrical hole

Consistent cutting performance for demanding turning operations

The triangular indexable insert delivers reproducible results thanks to its cemented carbide substrate and the X407 grade tuning of toughness and wear resistance. The geometry with a 60° included angle and a corner radius 0.4 mm provides a balance between edge strength and surface finish, enabling steady metal removal in interrupted or continuous cuts. Where process stability is essential, the combination of chipbreaker design and grade selection reduces flank wear and contributes to predictable tool life, supporting higher machine utilisation and fewer tool changes.

Designed for straightforward integration with ISO toolholders

As an ISO-standard component, the insert suits holders that match its triangular form, thickness and mounting style. The cylindrical hole and tolerance class determine clamping behaviour; therefore matching the insert to the correct external holder or screw-clamped boring bar is crucial for secure seating and accurate cutting geometry. The plate thickness 4.76 mm and the triangular insert form mean established clamping systems can be used without special adapters, reducing setup time and simplifying tool inventory management for production shops.

Practical application advice and measurable benefits

Selecting the right chipbreaker and X407 grade adapts the insert to the workpiece material and machining strategy; this yields improved chip control, reduced built-up edge and enhanced component surface quality. For economical machining, the stable edge provided by the grade improves repeatability and can lower overall tooling cost per component through longer indices per insert.

FAQ

What types of turning are suitable for this insert?
The TNGG160404 X407 Tungaloy insert is intended for external and internal turning; its triangular geometry and double-sided chipbreaker make it suitable for a range of feed and depth-of-cut combinations.

How does the X407 grade affect tool life and toughness?
The X407 grade balances wear resistance and edge toughness, giving the insert reliable cutting-edge stability and extended service life under moderate to demanding turning conditions.

Which holders are compatible with this ISO insert?
Compatibility depends on holder form, free angle, tolerance class, mounting and size; use holders designed for ISO triangular inserts with a cylindrical-hole clamping arrangement to ensure correct seating.

Can the insert be used for interrupted cuts?
Yes; the combination of cemented carbide substrate and the specified corner radius provides enhanced edge strength suited to interrupted cutting, but final selection of chipbreaker and cutting data should match the workpiece material.

What are the key dimensional specifications to check when replacing an insert?
Verify the size (16 mm), thickness (4.76 mm), corner radius 0.4 mm, hole style and the ISO designation TNGG160404 to ensure correct fit and clamping stability.
