TNGG 160408 TH10 Tungaloy turning insert — triangular insert for turning, 60°

the TNGG 160408 TH10 turning insert is a triangular indexable insert designed for multidirectional turning in the AddMultiTurn system

• Multidirectional AddMultiTurn system
• Uncoated carbide for low cutting forces
• Triangular insert with cylindrical hole
• Double-sided chipbreaker for clean finish

Multidirectional productivity with fewer tool changes

The AddMultiTurn system enables machining in several directions with a single toolholder, reducing set-up time and increasing throughput. The combination of a triangular geometry and a 60° cutting angle delivers stable cutting engagement across longitudinal, facing and profile turning operations. As a result, process flow is simplified and cycle times are shortened while retaining repeatable positioning and consistent chip control. This design supports flexible shop workflows and fewer insert changes during complex part programmes, which benefits batch and mixed-production environments.

Sharp uncoated grade for low cutting forces and tidy surfaces

The TH10 grade is an uncoated carbide formulation optimised as a sharp, universal grade for non-ferrous materials and applications where a clean cutting edge reduces cutting forces. A sharp edge lowers power draw and can improve surface finish when machining softer alloys and non-iron materials. The uncoated nature of the grade reduces adhesion risks on certain workpiece materials, helping to avoid built-up edge and maintain dimensional stability during extended cuts. This supports reliable part quality with straightforward cutting-parameter tuning.

Practical handling and secure clamping for stable results

The insert is double-sided with a 0.8 mm corner radius and a cylindrical hole for positive locating and secure clamping in standard holders. A double-sided chipbreaker aids consistent chip formation and evacuation to reduce the risk of entanglement and promote a controlled finish. Plate thickness of 4.76 mm and a nominal size of 16 mm ensure sufficient strength for interrupted cuts while remaining compatible with common insert pockets. These characteristics combine to deliver predictable performance in routine turning tasks.

Clear application guidance and compatibility

Intended primarily for turning, the indexable insert suits longitudinal, facing and profile operations; feed direction and holder style should be matched to the task for optimum results. The triangular format provides three cutting edges per side where applicable, improving economy per insert. When integrated in the AddMultiTurn system, the insert supports multidirectional toolpaths with straightforward tool-change logic, making it a practical choice for workshops aiming to streamline tooling inventory and improve machine availability.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for? The TH10 grade on the TNGG 160408 insert is optimised for non-ferrous materials and applications where a sharp, uncoated edge gives low cutting forces and improved surface quality.

Can the insert be used for profile turning and facing on the same toolholder? Yes. The triangular geometry and the AddMultiTurn system enable multidirectional turning, allowing profile, facing and longitudinal operations with the same holder arrangement.

How many cutting edges are available per insert? The triangular, double-sided design provides multiple active edges; the exact number depends on turning strategy and whether both sides are indexed during reconditioning.

What edge preparation is available for this insert? This item is supplied in the sharp, uncoated TH10 specification as an uncoated carbide edge designed to reduce cutting forces and avoid material adhesion on non-ferrous alloys.

Which clamping and hole style does the insert use? The insert features a cylindrical hole for positive locating and is intended for secure clamping in compatible holders within the AddMultiTurn system.
