TNGG160408 TH10 turning insert – AddMultiTurn multidirectional turning system, Tungaloy

The TNGG160408 TH10 is a triangular, indexable turning insert designed for multidirectional turning applications such as longitudinal turning, facing and profiling in non-ferrous materials and similar low-force tasks

• Multidirectional turning compatibility
• Sharp TH10 uncoated carbide grade
• Double-sided chipbreaker design
• Triangular 16 mm indexable insert

Consistent production through multidirectional turning

The AddMultiTurn series is engineered for multidirectional turning, allowing several machining directions to be served with a single tool body and one insert geometry. This approach reduces tool changes and set-up time, promoting a smoother production flow and higher machine uptime. The combination of the TH10 uncoated carbide grade and a double-sided chipbreaker supports low cutting forces and clean surface finish, which is advantageous when machining aluminium and other non-ferrous alloys. The result is a measurable increase in process efficiency and predictable part quality.

Geometry and grade that balance strength and finish

Geometry determines both durability and the quality of the machined surface: the triangular 16 mm format with a 0.8 mm corner radius and a 60° cutting angle offers a robust edge for profile and facing operations while maintaining accessibility in confined toolpaths. The insert is uncoated carbide, designed as a sharp universal grade for non-ferrous work where a clean edge produces minimal burr and reduced built-up edge. The presence of a cylindrical hole and a 4.76 mm plate thickness ensures secure clamping in compatible holders and consistent repeatability during indexation.

Practical applications and workshop benefits

This indexable insert suits CNC turning shops and production environments where flexibility and repeatability are required. Typical uses include longitudinal turning, facing and profiling of aluminium, brass and other non-ferrous materials; the grade and chipbreaker minimise cutting forces and extend cycle stability. As an indexable component, the insert enables rapid edge changes and minimal downtime; combined with the AddMultiTurn system it supports compact tool assemblies and reduced inventory complexity. For customers seeking process reliability, the insert provides a predictable machining result and simplified tool management.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The TNGG160408 TH10 insert is optimised for non-ferrous materials such as aluminium and brass; the TH10 uncoated carbide grade supports low cutting forces and clean finishes when machining these alloys.

Which operations can be performed with this insert?
Typical operations include longitudinal turning, facing and profiling; the AddMultiTurn concept allows the insert to be used effectively in multiple machining directions.

What are the key geometric values to consider?
The insert has a 16 mm size, 0.8 mm corner radius and 60° cutting angle, with a plate thickness of 4.76 mm, which together determine edge strength and surface finish potential.

How is the insert secured in the holder?
The triangular insert features a cylindrical hole for positive location and clamping; it is intended for use with holders and clamps compatible with the AddMultiTurn system.

Is the grade coated or uncoated and why does that matter?
The TH10 grade is an uncoated carbide chosen for applications where a sharp cutting edge and low cutting forces deliver superior surface quality on non-ferrous materials.
