TNGN 160420 FX105 Tungaloy indexable insert for Turning — triangular, ISO 160420, 2 mm radius

The TNGN160420 FX105 is an ISO-standard triangular turning insert engineered for external and internal turning operations, offering a balance of wear resistance and edge stability for productive machining.

• ISO triangular insert TNGN160420
• Tungaloy FX105 carbide grade
• 2 mm corner radius, 60° included angle

Consistent performance through ISO conformity and material choice

The ISO designation ensures predictable fitment and repeatability in production: the ISO 160420 geometry aligns with standard clamping and holder systems so changeovers are fast and error-free. Manufactured from cemented carbide and specified with the FX105 grade, the insert delivers improved wear resistance and sufficient toughness for general turning tasks. This combination reduces unexpected tool changes and supports continuous machining sequences, helping maintain planned cycle times and part tolerances.

Geometry designed for reliable cutting and surface finish

The triangular shape with a 60° included angle and a 2 mm corner radius provides a versatile profile for both roughing and semi-finishing cuts. The larger corner radius increases edge engagement and contributes to a more stable cut, which often translates to better surface integrity and fewer edge failures. A 0° relief angle and a plate thickness of 4.76 mm support rigid set-up and enable secure clamping, reducing micro-movements that can impair finish and dimensional accuracy.

Grade benefits explained for practical selection

The FX105 carbide grade is formulated to balance hardness and toughness for widespread material coverage. In practice, this means the insert resists abrasive wear while still tolerating intermittent impacts at the cutting edge, which is especially useful when batch runs include varied component geometries or when setup rigidity is moderate. Selecting this grade simplifies tool management: one insert type can address a range of steels and common alloys without compromising life or part quality.

Compatibility and system considerations for smooth integration

Compatibility depends on holder form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; the ISO coding guides this process. The insert has no centre hole and is designed for clamping systems that accept triangular TNGN plates. When combining insert, seat and screw, ensure torque and support are adequate to exploit the full potential of the FX105 grade. Proper matching reduces vibration, improves chip control and prolongs insert life, contributing to predictable machining costs.

FAQ

What clamping system is required for this insert? The TNGN160420 FX105 insert fits ISO-standard triangular clamping systems; compatibility depends on holder form, tolerance class and fastening method, so verify the holder matches ISO 160420 geometry.

Which materials can be machined with this grade? The FX105 grade is a general-purpose carbide composition offering a balance of wear resistance and toughness, suitable for a wide range of steels and common alloys in turning applications.

Does the insert include a chipbreaker? This specific variant is supplied without a chipbreaker; chip control will depend on cut parameters, coolant and the matching holder geometry.

Can the insert be used for internal boring? Yes, the triangular profile and 2 mm corner radius permit internal turning provided the holder and setup allow appropriate clearance and rigidity for the intended bore.

How does the 2 mm corner radius affect cutting performance? A 2 mm radius increases edge strength and improves surface finish potential during semi-finishing and finishing passes, at the cost of a slightly higher cutting force compared with smaller radii.
