TNMA160412 FX105 Tungaloy turning insert — triangular 60° ISO indexable insert with cylindrical hole

TNMA160412 FX105 is an ISO‑compliant triangular insert designed for external and internal turning operations, offering a balance of wear resistance and edge stability in a cemented carbide grade.

• ISO‑compliant triangular form
• FX105 cemented carbide grade
• 1.2 mm nose radius for robust edges
• Cylindrical hole for secure clamping

Consistent chip control and predictable tool life for production turning

The FX105 grade is formulated to deliver a combination of wear resistance and toughness, which reduces the frequency of index changes and supports stable tool life in serial production. As an indexable insert, the component simplifies change‑over and inventory management: keeping a stock of standard ISO sizes lowers downtime and enables predictable process planning. The grade’s balanced properties make it suitable where both flank wear and chipping are concerns, helping to maintain dimensional accuracy across runs.

Secure mounting and geometric reliability for accurate machining

The triangular shape with a 60° included angle and a cylindrical hole ensures positive location and reliable clamping in compatible holders. The 0° relief angle and 4.76 mm plate thickness contribute to rigidity at the cutting edge; this rigidity translates into improved surface finish and reduced vibration in many turning set‑ups. Compatibility with external holders is determined by form, relief angle, tolerance class, clamp type, size and thickness — correct matching avoids slippage and secures repeatable results.

Practical versatility: matched chipbreaker and grade selection

This insert is intended for turning; selecting a matching chipbreaker and ensuring the FX105 grade suits the workpiece material are essential steps for optimised performance. For heavy cuts, a chipbreaker that favours large chip control together with the grade’s edge stability is recommended, whereas fine finishing benefits from the grade’s wear resistance to preserve surface quality. The system approach — insert, clamping set and suitable screw — provides predictable handling and quick replacement during tool changes.

What the geometry means for shopfloor productivity

A 1.2 mm nose radius offers a practical compromise between strength and fine detail: it resists corner chipping under interrupted cuts while still enabling acceptable surface finish on bore and external passes. The ISO designation simplifies selection and inventorying across machines, and the cemented carbide substrate sustains cutting temperatures common in turning operations. Using standardised inserts like this one supports lean tooling strategies and reduces set‑up variability between operators.

FAQ

What holder types are compatible with this triangular insert?
Compatibility is determined by the holder’s form, relief angle, tolerance class, clamp design, size and thickness; match these parameters to the TNMA160412 insert for secure clamping.

Is this insert suitable for finishing passes?
The FX105 grade provides good wear resistance that supports finishing operations when paired with an appropriate chipbreaker and cutting parameters.

How many cutting edges does the insert provide?
The triangular geometry offers three main usable cutting edges per indexable position; exact edge count depends on orientation and indexing procedure.

Can the insert be used for internal turning?
Yes, the geometry and 1.2 mm nose radius allow use in both external and internal turning applications when the correct holder and reach are selected.

What does the FX105 designation indicate?
FX105 denotes a Tungaloy carbide grade engineered to balance wear resistance, toughness and cutting‑edge stability for general turning tasks.
