TNGN160408 TH10 Tungaloy turning insert — triangular, 16 mm, 0.8 mm radius

The TNGN160408 TH10 is an ISO-format triangular turning insert designed for external and internal turning, optimised for non-ferrous materials and applications where a crisp, low-force cutting edge is required.

• ISO triangular insert, size 16 mm
• Uncoated carbide for low cutting forces
• 0.8 mm corner radius for precise profile
• 0° relief angle for stable engagement

Efficient cutting with low forces for non-ferrous parts

The core advantage of this ISO-format insert lies in its uncoated carbide composition and sharp geometry, which together reduce cutting forces and improve surface finish when machining aluminium, brass and similar alloys. The combination of a 0° relief angle and a 0.8 mm corner radius produces a reliable cutting edge that resists edge build-up while maintaining dimensional stability, making it suitable for both external profiling and light internal turning. Compatibility with standard ISO holders is determined by form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening and plate thickness, ensuring straightforward integration into established tool systems.

Predictable performance and easy integration into production

The triangular shape with a 16 mm inscribed circle and standard 60° included angle delivers three usable cutting corners per insert, optimising cost-efficiency and changeover intervals. The uncoated grade TH10 has been selected for universal use on non-ferrous materials where minimal cutting forces are desirable; this reduces spindle load and can increase feed rates in many applications. Clear, standardised dimensions such as the 4.76 mm plate thickness and ISO designation support rapid tooling decisions and predictable process planning when matching insert, holder and clamping set.

Practical benefits for shop-floor reliability

Using a sharp, uncoated carbide insert of this geometry supports clean chip formation and reduces the need for intensive finishing passes in many operations, shortening cycle time and improving throughput. The absence of a chipbreaker on this variant encourages continuous chip flow in materials that form short, manageable chips; where a dedicated chip-control geometry is required, selecting a variant with an integrated chipbreaker is straightforward. The robust edge geometry and carbide substrate promote consistent edge life under correct feeds and speeds, supporting repeatable part quality in batch production.

Selection guidance and holder compatibility

The insert is supplied in the ISO format TNGN160408 and integrates with holders that match its form, relief angle and thickness. When specifying a holder, ensure the clamping method and tolerance class are suitable for secure locating; replacement screws and clamping sets are standard items for most tool systems. For machining of aluminium and other non-ferrous alloys the TH10 grade frequently outperforms coated alternatives in terms of surface finish and lower power draw, provided cutting conditions are matched to the material and toolpath strategy.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?

The TH10 grade and sharp geometry are optimised for non-ferrous materials such as aluminium and brass; the TNGN160408 TH10 insert promotes low cutting forces and good surface finishes in these alloys.

How many cutting edges are available per insert?

The triangular geometry provides three usable cutting corners, allowing economical indexation during production.

Does the insert include a chipbreaker?

This variant is specified without a chipbreaker; it is intended for applications where the natural chip formation of the workpiece material is manageable without additional chip-control geometry.

Which holders are compatible with this ISO insert?

Compatibility is determined by holder form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method and plate thickness; select an ISO-compatible external holder or boring bar matched to the TNGN160408 dimensions.

What is the relief angle and why does it matter?

The insert has a 0° relief angle, which affects cutting engagement and edge strength; a 0° relief can offer stable cutting for low-force applications and must be matched with suitable cutting parameters.
