TNMA 160404 TH10 Wendeplatten - Tungaloy

Efficient machining is ensured by the combination of a sharp uncoated carbide edge (TH10) and a 0° relief angle, delivering low cutting forces and clean surface quality; the triangular form with a cylindrical hole provides secure clamping for consistent tool life.

TNMA 160404 TH10 ISO turning insert for external and internal turning — triangular insert, 0° relief | Tungaloy

The TNMA160404 TH10 is an ISO‑standard triangular turning insert designed for external and internal turning operations, offering a sharp uncoated carbide grade for low cutting forces and fine surface finishes.

• ISO triangular insert, 0° relief angle
• Uncoated carbide grade TH10 for low cutting forces
• 0.4 mm corner radius for fine finishing
• Cylindrical hole for secure clamping

High efficiency for production turning

The ISO design and the uncoated carbide composition combine to reduce cutting resistance and improve surface results in many routine turning tasks. As a member of the ISO turning insert family, this triangular geometry supports stable seating and repeatable positioning in compatible holders. The TH10 grade is specified for universal, sharp cutting performance, which translates into shorter cycle times where lower cutting forces matter. For light to medium cuts in non‑ferrous materials and similar workpieces, the result is a clean surface with reduced power demand and less heat generation compared with blunter or coated alternatives.

Precise geometry that simplifies process selection

Key geometric details such as the 0° relief, the 0.4 mm corner radius and the 4.76 mm thickness directly affect contact conditions, tool rigidity and the achievable finish. The triangular shape provides three usable edges per insert, while the cylindrical hole secures the insert reliably under clamping force, reducing micro‑movement and vibration. Compatibility with a lathe holder depends on form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; these parameters should be matched to ensure repeatable performance and to exploit the insert’s low cutting‑force behaviour.

Practical benefits and application guidance

When paired with an appropriate holder and cutting data, the insert delivers predictable chip formation and efficient material removal for turning operations. The uncoated cutting edge favours applications where minimal built‑up edge and superior finish are priorities, especially on non‑ferrous alloys. Although this item is supplied without a chipbreaker, selecting the correct chip control geometry and cutting parameters according to the workpiece material and machine stability will maximise throughput and extend effective tool life. For mixed‑material shops, the robust carbide substrate provides reliable edge retention across a broad range of routine turning tasks.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?

The TNMA160404 TH10 insert is specified for non‑ferrous materials and applications where an uncoated, sharp edge produces low cutting forces and a clean surface.

How many cutting edges does the triangular insert offer?

A triangular insert provides three usable cutting edges; the TNMA geometry allows indexation to a fresh edge when one is worn.

Does the insert include a chipbreaker?

This item is supplied without a chipbreaker; chip control must be achieved via holder selection and cutting parameters suitable for the workpiece.

How is the insert secured in the holder?

The cylindrical hole permits secure clamping with the appropriate screw and seat design, helping to maintain repeatable positioning and minimise vibration.

What determines whether this insert fits a specific holder?

Compatibility depends on the insert form, 0° relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size (16 mm) and thickness (4.76 mm); matching these parameters ensures correct seating and reliable performance.
