TNGG160408 GH330 Tungaloy indexable insert for turning (60°)

The TNGG160408 GH330 is a triangular indexable insert engineered for multidirectional turning within the AddMultiTurn system, optimised for longitudinal, facing and profile operations.

• Triangular 60° geometry
• GH330 grade for wear resistance
• Double-sided chipbreaker
• Cylindrical hole for secure clamping

Reduce setup time and increase throughput with multidirectional turning

The AddMultiTurn concept enables multiple cutting directions with a single tool body, minimising tool changes and reducing machine idle time. This triangular indexable insert with a 60° included angle offers consistent engagement for longitudinal, facing and profile turning, so the process becomes more predictable. The design supports stable cutting forces, which helps to reduce vibration and extend the usable life of both tool and holder. For shops aiming to raise productivity without complex retooling, this approach delivers measurable time savings and smoother production flows.

GH330 carbide grade: balanced wear resistance and toughness

Tungaloy’s GH330 carbide grade combines abrasion resistance and edge stability, which is especially useful where mixed operations demand both durability and fracture resistance. In practice, this means longer intervals between indexings and a more even deterioration of the cutting edge, resulting in a reliable surface finish over serial production. For components where repeatability and tool life are critical, the grade reduces unexpected downtime and contributes to lower overall production costs through fewer interruptions.

Secure clamping and chip control for reliable part quality

The insert’s cylindrical hole and compatible clamping geometry ensure reproducible seating and secure retention in the holder, which reduces micro‑movement during cuts. The integrated double-sided chipbreaker promotes manageable chip formation across a range of feeds and depths, supporting safer chip evacuation and more consistent surface integrity. With a corner radius of 0.8 mm and a relief angle of 0°, operators can expect controlled engagement that helps maintain dimensional accuracy while avoiding excessive edge wear.

Application guidance and system compatibility for dependable results

Designed for turning within the AddMultiTurn system, the insert is intended for longitudinal, facing and profile tasks where a triangular form and multiple usable cutting edges are advantageous. The system comprises holder, indexable inserts and a clamping mechanism; selecting a matching holder and correct clamping torque is essential for optimal performance. When process parameters or workpiece materials vary, consult technical documentation or our specialists to align feeds and speeds with component tolerances. If uncertainty exists about suitability for a specific material or cycle, technical advice is available to clarify expected outcomes.
