TNMG 160308 TH10 indexable turning insert by Tungaloy — triangular, 60° cutting angle

TNMG160308 TH10 is an ISO‑compatible indexable insert designed for external and internal turning, offering an uncoated carbide edge that supports low cutting forces and improved surface quality.

• TNMG geometry, 60° triangular insert
• Uncoated carbide grade TH10 for low cutting forces
• Double-sided chipbreaker for versatile turning
• Central cylindrical hole for secure clamping

Dependable chip control through a sharp uncoated cutting edge

The insert provides reliable metal removal by combining a TH10 uncoated grade with a precision ground cutting edge and an integrated double-sided chipbreaker. This configuration reduces cutting forces and supports consistent chip control, which is especially beneficial when machining non-ferrous materials and when a clean part face is required. The absence of a coating lowers the contact temperature and helps to maintain a sharp edge, assisting in achieving superior surface finish with lower drive power — a clear operational advantage in high‑mix small‑batch production and retrofit turning tasks.

Stable clamping and ISO conformity for rapid tool changeovers

Manufactured to the ISO 160308 specification, the insert fits holders that match the form, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. Key geometry values such as the 60° included angle, 0.8 mm radius and 3.18 mm thickness ensure predictable engagement with standard external and internal holders. A cylindrical hole in the centre provides positive locating and secure clamping, reducing vibration and promoting repeatable positioning during index changes. This standardised approach shortens changeover time and lowers process variability in production cells.

Versatile, economical solution for turning applications

The triangular shape and double-sided design enable multiple indexing positions, extending the usable life of each insert and improving overall cost efficiency. Suitable primarily for turning tasks where low cutting forces and neat finishes are priorities, the grade supports operations on aluminium, brass and other non‑ferrous alloys. The robust cemented carbide composition gives dependable wear resistance while the uncoated edge minimises built‑up edge formation in delicate materials. For shops seeking a technically clear and practical insert choice, this option balances productivity and straightforward application planning.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert best suited to machine?
The TNMG160308 TH10 insert is optimised for non‑ferrous materials and applications where an uncoated cutting edge supports low cutting forces and clean surfaces.

Is the insert reversible and how many cutting edges are available?
Yes — the triangular geometry with a double‑sided chipbreaker provides multiple indexable edges, allowing several repositions before disposal.

What dimensions and tolerances should the holder match?
Holders must match the ISO 160308 form: 16 mm inscribed circle, 3.18 mm thickness and the 60° included angle, with correct tolerance class and fastening method for secure clamping.

Does this insert have a coating or special surface treatment?
The product is an uncoated carbide insert in grade TH10, chosen to deliver a sharp edge and reduced cutting forces for the intended material range.

How does the central hole affect clamping and stability?
The cylindrical hole provides positive location and enables secure clamping, which reduces vibration and improves repeatability during index changes.
