TNGG160408 X407 Tungaloy indexable insert — triangular 60° for multidirectional turning

The TNGG160408 X407 indexable insert is a triangular, double-sided carbide insert designed for multidirectional turning applications, suitable for longitudinal, facing and profiling operations within an AddMultiTurn system.

• Triangular insert, 60° cutting geometry
• Tungaloy grade X407 for wear resistance
• Double-sided chipbreaker for reliable chips
• Central cylindrical hole for secure clamping

Higher productivity through multidirectional turning and fewer tool changes

The AddMultiTurn concept combines holder, inserts and clamping to enable a multidirectional turning approach that reduces the need to change tools when workpiece geometry varies. Manufactured from carbide and specified with the X407 grade, the insert offers a balanced mix of wear resistance and toughness, which translates into longer intervals between index changes and fewer interruptions to production. The triangular 60° geometry provides positive engagement for many turning profiles, helping to maintain stable cutting forces and consistent results.

Predictable chip formation and improved surface quality

A double-sided chipbreaker on this insert is engineered to deliver controllable chips across a range of feeds and depths of cut; this lowers the risk of entanglement and aids swarf evacuation in multifaceted turning operations. With a 0.8 mm corner radius and a 60° cutting angle, the insert supports steady cutting-edge behaviour that contributes to repeatable surface finish and reduced rework. These properties are especially valuable in serial machining where reproducibility and throughput are priorities.

Robust clamping and system-level advantages for workshop workflows

The insert’s central cylindrical hole and 4.76 mm thickness ensure secure clamping in compatible holders, providing mechanical stability during aggressive cuts or direction changes. As part of the AddMultiTurn system series, the solution is intended to work as a system — holder, indexable inserts and clamping — which simplifies tool inventory and shortens set-up time. For shops seeking practical, application-oriented tooling, this combination supports efficient machining sequences for a range of turning tasks.
