TNGN 160412 TH10 Tungaloy indexable turning insert, 60° triangle

TNGN160412 TH10 is an ISO‑standard triangular indexable insert designed for robust external and internal turning applications where low cutting forces and clean surface finishes are required

• ISO triangular insert form TNGN
• Uncoated carbide grade TH10
• 60° cutting edge angle
• Suitable for external and internal turning

Consistent geometry for repeatable results

The triangular insert features a 60° cutting geometry and a 1.2 mm corner radius, providing a stable cutting edge that supports repeatable chip formation and long tool life in appropriate applications. The 0° clearance contributes to predictable force distribution during machining, which helps to reduce vibration when the insert is used with a correctly matched holder. Specifying an ISO‑compliant insert simplifies tool selection: compatibility is determined by shape, clearance angle, tolerance class, clamping and thickness, allowing straightforward integration into existing turning tool systems.

Sharp uncoated carbide grade for low cutting forces

Manufactured from cemented carbide and supplied as the TH10 grade, the insert offers a sharp, uncoated cutting edge tailored for non‑ferrous materials and operations where reduced cutting forces and improved surface quality are priorities. The lack of coating lowers cutting resistance and can produce cleaner part surfaces on softer metals and alloys. For shops processing aluminium, brass or similar materials, this grade supports efficient material removal with fewer burrs and better finish, provided cutting parameters and rigidity are matched to the workpiece and machine.

System compatibility and practical assembly advantages

Delivered as an ISO‑type insert, the item integrates into common turning systems alongside a suitable external holder or boring bar, a shim/clamp set and replacement screws. The insert is supplied without a mounting hole and without a chipbreaker, enabling selection of holder and clamping method according to the application. For both external and internal turning, choosing the correct chip control and insert grade relative to workpiece material and machine rigidity ensures productive machining and consistent component quality. The insert's ISO‑standard form supports flexible tool management and easier inventory control across diverse turning tasks.

FAQ

Is the insert suitable for aluminium and other non‑ferrous materials?
Yes. The TH10 uncoated carbide grade in the TNGN160412 insert is optimised for non‑ferrous materials and operations where low cutting forces and clean surfaces are required.

How is the insert clamped without a hole?
The insert is designed for clamping in ISO‑type holders using the holder's top clamp or shim system; the absence of a hole requires a compatible clamp set and correct seating in the pocket.

What does the TH10 designation indicate?
TH10 denotes an uncoated carbide grade chosen for sharpness and versatility on non‑ferrous workpieces; it supports lower cutting forces and improved surface finish in suitable applications.

Can the insert be used for both external and internal turning?
Yes. The insert is specified for external and internal turning; selection of the correct holder and machining parameters is essential for stable performance.

How many effective edges does the insert provide?
The triangular geometry provides three cutting edges; rotating the insert allows economical use of the available edges.
