High‑efficiency cutting with a sharp uncoated grade

The combination of a sharp uncoated cemented carbide grade and a triangular insert form reduces cutting resistance, which supports shorter cycle times and lower power draw in many turning operations. The TH10 grade is formulated as a universal, sharp grade particularly suited to non‑ferrous materials, where an uncoated cutting edge helps to avoid built‑up edge and to produce clean surfaces. The insert’s geometry—with an included angle of 60° and a 0.4 mm corner radius—is tailored for fine finishing and light to medium machining, allowing stable contact conditions and consistent surface quality during finishing passes.

Reduced setup complexity and reliable clamping

Being an ISO‑standard indexable insert, this design simplifies holder selection and changeover because compatibility is determined by insert form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The central cylindrical hole and the double‑sided chipbreaker provide secure mechanical clamping and reversible use of the cutting edges, which improves tool economy. The insert thickness of 4.76 mm and the nominal size 16 ensure robust seating in compatible external holders or boring bars, reducing vibrational risk and maintaining repeatable tool positions across batches.

Practical application guidance and material suitability

The insert is intended for external and internal turning where low cutting forces and a clean finish are priorities. Its uncoated TH10 composition performs well on aluminium, brass and many non‑ferrous alloys as well as certain plastics, particularly when machining parameters are set to favour lower feed rates and moderate speeds. To achieve optimal results, match the chipbreaker style and the TH10 grade to the workpiece material and the stability of the setup; the double‑sided design enables economical index changes without compromising process reliability. For holders and clamping sets, ensure matching of form, free angle and size to exploit the insert’s performance fully.

FAQ

What workpieces are best suited to this insert? This insert is ideal for non‑ferrous workpieces such as aluminium and brass; the TH10 uncoated grade supports low cutting forces and clean surface finishes in such materials.

Can the insert be reversed to use both sides? Yes, the double‑sided chipbreaker design allows reversal of the insert to use the second cutting edge, improving economy in batch production.

How does the 0.4 mm corner radius affect surface finish? A 0.4 mm corner radius helps to produce finer surface finishes at typical finishing feeds, while providing moderate edge strength for light roughing.

Is the insert compatible with standard ISO holders? The ISO designation means the insert conforms to standard forms; compatibility depends on matching holder form, clearance angle, tolerance and size to the insert geometry.

Which grade should be chosen for higher cutting speeds? For higher speeds on non‑ferrous materials, TH10 performs well in many cases; consult cutting data for specific speed and feed recommendations for the workpiece and machine rigidity.
