TNMG160404 TH10 Tungaloy indexable insert (turning) — triangular, 0.4 mm radius, 60°

TNMG160404 TH10 is an ISO-standard triangular indexable insert for external and internal turning, optimised for non-ferrous materials and applications requiring low cutting forces.

• ISO triangular insert TNMG 160404
• Uncoated carbide grade TH10
• 0.4 mm corner radius, 60° included angle
• Double-sided chipbreaker, cylindrical hole

Engineered for consistent turning performance

The ISO standard geometry ensures predictable seating and repeatable results when paired with compatible holders. This triangular indexable insert offers a stable 60° included angle and a compact 0.4 mm corner radius, balancing strength and edge acuity. The use of an uncoated carbide substrate in the TH10 grade delivers consistently low cutting forces, which reduces spindle load and helps maintain toolpath stability. Compatibility with the toolholder is governed by shape, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness, so selection is straightforward when the holder specifications match.

Low cutting forces and improved surface quality

The TH10 uncoated grade is a sharp universal choice for non-ferrous materials, promoting a clean surface finish with reduced burr formation. The double-sided chipbreaker is designed to assist chip control in turning tasks where chips tend to be continuous, reducing the risk of entanglement and improving process reliability. For less experienced teams, the functional advantages translate into fewer reworks and easier downstream inspection, while experienced operators will appreciate the predictable cutting behaviour and consistent part quality.

Reliable clamping and cost-effective indexing

A cylindrical hole and a plate thickness of 4.76 mm provide secure seating and repeatable clamping in compatible holders, supporting accurate tool positioning. The insert is double-sided, allowing multiple indexes and extending consumable life, which lowers cost per cutting edge in volume turning. The combination of a compact corner radius and robust substrate makes the insert suitable for operations where moderate strength and fine edge integrity are required. The 0° relief (clearance) angle complements certain holder geometries to achieve the intended cutting geometry without unexpected interference.

Practical guidance for selection and use

Intended for external and internal turning, this insert is best matched to materials and machining conditions that favour a sharp, uncoated edge. Select the chipbreaker and grade according to workpiece material, machining stability and desired finish; for non-ferrous alloys the TH10 grade is recommended due to its low cutting-force behaviour. Where machining rigidity is limited, prefer smaller depths of cut and conservative feeds to protect the edge. Remember that insert compatibility depends on form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness—confirm these dimensions with the holder specification before fitting.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for machining steel?
The TH10 grade in this TNMG160404 insert is a sharp universal designed primarily for non-ferrous materials; for machining steel, a different grade optimised for iron-based alloys is recommended.

How many cutting edges are available per insert?
The TNMG160404 insert is double-sided and triangular, providing multiple usable edges to extend tool life and reduce tooling costs.

What holder characteristics must match the insert?
Compatibility requires matching the insert form, relief angle (0°), tolerance class, fastening method, size (16 mm) and thickness (4.76 mm) to the holder specification.

Is the insert coated?
This Tungaloy insert uses an uncoated carbide substrate (TH10), chosen to keep cutting forces low and to promote clean finishes in the right material groups.

Which chipbreaker should be chosen for a given material?
The double-sided chipbreaker on this insert is suitable for continuous-chip tendencies typical of non-ferrous alloys; select the breaker and grade according to material, feed/ speed and machine stability.
