TNGG160408 GH330 Tungaloy indexable insert — Triangular turning insert for multidirectional turning

The TNGG160408 GH330 is a triangular indexable turning insert designed for multidirectional turning applications within the AddMultiTurn system.

• Tungaloy GH330 grade for balanced wear and toughness
• Triangular 16 mm insert, 60° cutting angle
• Double-sided chipbreaker for flexible cutting
• Cylindrical hole with 4.76 mm thickness for secure clamping

Increased productivity through multidirectional turning

The AddMultiTurn series is engineered as a multidirectional turning system, enabling several cutting directions with a single tool assembly. This approach reduces tool changes and downtime while maintaining process stability. The combination of a robust carbide substrate and the GH330 cutting grade supports consistent performance under varied turning conditions, delivering measurable gains in machining throughput and lower overall tool costs. The multidirectional setup leads to improved cycle times without sacrificing repeatability.

Stable cutting edge and consistent surface quality

The triangular geometry with a 60° cutting angle and a 0.8 mm corner radius produces a predictable cutting action that favours steady chip formation. The double-sided chipbreaker controls chip flow on both sides of the insert, which reduces the risk of chip re-cutting and helps achieve a reliable surface finish. The GH330 grade is formulated to balance wear resistance and toughness, extending edge life where intermittent cuts or variable cutting directions are required. For those less familiar with chipbreakers: they are engineered grooves that fragment long chips into manageable lengths, improving safety and surface consistency.

Secure clamping and simple system integration

The insert is supplied with a cylindrical hole and a plate thickness of 4.76 mm, enabling positive clamping in AddMultiTurn holders and ensuring reproducible seating under cutting loads. The system comprises the holder, indexable plates and a clamping mechanism; integration is straightforward where holders are specified for the AddMultiTurn series. The double-sided nature of the plate allows rotation to a fresh cutting edge, supporting economical use of each insert in production and maintenance contexts. Technical documentation and application guidance are available for process parameter selection and holder compatibility.
