TNGG160404 TH10 Tungaloy turning insert — triangular ISO insert for turning applications, 60° geometry

The TNGG160404 TH10 is an ISO-standard triangular indexable insert designed for external and internal turning; it offers a sharp, uncoated cemented carbide edge purpose-built for low cutting-force machining of non-ferrous materials and mixed applications.

*ISO-standard triangular geometry *Sharp uncoated cemented carbide grade TH10 *0.4 mm corner radius for fine finishing *Cylindrical through-hole for secure clamping

Improved process efficiency through low cutting forces

The combination of the TH10 grade and an uncoated cemented carbide cutting edge reduces cutting forces and minimises built-up edge when machining aluminium and other softer alloys. Lower cutting forces translate directly into reduced spindle load and longer tool life in many applications, which helps maintain stable cycle times and consistent surface quality. The result is a predictable machining process suited to both small-batch and higher-volume production where reproducible finishes are required.

Consistent fit and secure clamping for repeatable accuracy

Manufactured to the ISO-standard designation 160404, the insert’s 60° triangular form and 0.4 mm corner radius ensure predictable engagement with matching toolholders. The through-hole (cylindrical) mounting and standardised thickness allow straightforward replacement and accurate seating in common external holders and boring bars. Compatibility is governed by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; selecting a matching holder and clamp set therefore delivers repeatable alignment and concentricity for precision turning.

Indexable design and process reliability for productive machining

As a double-edged component with a double-sided chipbreaker, the insert is indexable to present fresh cutting edges with minimal downtime. The geometry supports stable chip formation and controlled evacuation, improving surface finish and reducing secondary operations. That indexability, combined with the economical nature of an uncoated edge for the target materials, offers a strong cost-to-performance ratio for workshops aiming to balance tool consumption and productivity while keeping setups simple and maintenance time low.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for? The TNGG160404 TH10 insert is intended primarily for non-ferrous materials and mixed applications; the uncoated cemented carbide edge supports low cutting forces and clean surfaces when turning aluminium and similar alloys.

How is the insert mounted in a toolholder? The insert uses a cylindrical through-hole for clamping; fitment depends on holder form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness to ensure proper seating and repeatable alignment.

Is the chipbreaker suitable for finishing operations? Yes — the double-sided chipbreaker on the TNGG160404 TH10 promotes controlled chip formation and helps achieve fine surface finishes in suitable materials while allowing indexability for renewed cutting edges.

Can the insert be used for internal turning as well as external turning? The ISO geometry and standardised dimensions make the insert suitable for both external and internal turning, provided a compatible boring bar or holder is used with the correct mounting and clearance.

How many edges are available before the insert must be replaced? The indexable design with a double-sided chipbreaker supplies multiple usable cutting edges; the exact number depends on applied cutting data, workpiece material and operating conditions, but indexability reduces overall tooling downtime.
