TNGG160408 GH330 indexable insert for Turning — Tungaloy (60° triangle, 0.8 mm radius)

The TNGG160408 GH330 is a triangle-shaped indexable insert designed for multidirectional turning within the AddMultiTurn system, suitable for longitudinal, facing and profile turning.

• Triangle 60° geometry for versatile turning
• GH330 grade for wear resistance and toughness
• Double-sided chipbreaker for stable chip control
• Cylindrical hole for secure clamping

Consistent edge life through engineered carbide grade

The combination of cemented carbide construction and the GH330 grade delivers measurable wear resistance while retaining sufficient toughness for varied turning tasks. This balance reduces the frequency of insert changes and supports stable cutting conditions, which in turn helps to maintain part tolerances and minimise unplanned downtime. The engineered grade complements the insert geometry to preserve the cutting edge under continuous production demands.

One tool, multiple directions — fewer interruptions

Integrated into the AddMultiTurn system, the insert enables multidirectional operations without frequent tool swaps. The 60° triangle geometry and 0.8 mm corner radius allow efficient longitudinal, facing and profiling passes, reducing setup time and boosting throughput. Using a single, versatile insert for several directions supports a leaner tooling inventory and simplifies process planning, making routines on the lathe more efficient and predictable.

Secure clamping and reliable chip control for better surfaces

A cylindrical hole and the insert’s geometry ensure positive seating and repeatable clamping within the holder and clamping system, improving stability during cuts. The double-sided chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation across varying cut depths, which contributes to consistent surface finish and process reliability. Stable chip evacuation and secure clamping reduce the risk of workpiece rework and support higher first-pass yield.

FAQ

What clamping system is required for this insert?
The TNGG160408 GH330 indexable insert is supplied with a cylindrical hole for secure seating; it is intended for holders compatible with the AddMultiTurn multidirectional clamping arrangement and the insert geometry.

Can the GH330 grade be used for continuous production runs?
Yes, the GH330 grade of the TNGG160408 has been selected to balance wear resistance and toughness, making it suitable for sustained turning operations with consistent edge life.

Is the insert reversible or single-sided?
The triangular TNGG160408 insert is double-sided with a chipbreaker on each cutting edge, allowing multiple indexing positions for extended service life (SKU 6808207-Tungaloy).

Which operations are best for this insert geometry?
The 60° triangle shape and 0.8 mm corner radius are well suited to longitudinal turning, facing and light profiling within a multidirectional setup; the design reduces tool changes in mixed-operation production.

Does the insert require a specific holder orientation?
The insert is designed for the AddMultiTurn multidirectional turning system; correct holder and clamping orientation should be observed to secure seating via the cylindrical hole and achieve optimal cutting performance.
