TNMG 160404 TH10 — Turning insert (TNMG160404) — Tungaloy

The TNMG160404 TH10 is a triangular ISO turning insert designed for external and internal turning, providing a sharp uncoated edge for efficient machining of non‑ferrous materials and unstable setups.

• ISO triangular insert with 16 mm size
• Sharp universal grade TH10 for non‑ferrous materials
• 0.4 mm corner radius for fine profiles
• Cylindrical hole, double‑sided chipbreaker

Reliable chip control for consistent throughput

The TH10 uncoated grade is engineered as a sharp, universal option that reduces cutting forces and supports clean surface finishes when machining non‑ferrous materials. As an indexable carbide insert made from cemented carbide, it offers low thermal sensitivity and consistent edge geometry, which translates into fewer interruptions on the shop floor. The presence of a double‑sided chipbreaker improves chip formation under varying cutting conditions, helping to maintain cycle time stability and reduce the need for frequent tool changes.

Geometry and mounting for predictable integration

The triangular form with a nominal 16 mm size and a 60° cutting angle provides robust support in common ISO toolholders while the 0.4 mm corner radius allows fine profile work without compromising strength. The insert thickness of 4.76 mm and the cylindrical hole ensure secure clamping; compatibility to a holder depends on the insert form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. This predictable interface reduces setup time and simplifies indexable insert management in production environments.

Practical machining advantages and application guidance

When turning with limited stability or on lighter machines, the sharp uncoated edge of this indexable insert lowers power draw and promotes smoother finishes on aluminium, brass and similar alloys. For best results, match the double‑sided chipbreaker and grade to the workpiece, cutting direction and setup rigidity—this yields efficient material removal with reproducible surface quality. The ISO‑based system structure supports easy stock control and rapid insertion into existing tool systems, aiding process reliability and repeatability.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert best suited for?
The TNMG160404 TH10 insert (Tungaloy, SKU 6808351-Tungaloy) is optimised for non‑ferrous materials such as aluminium and brass, where the uncoated TH10 grade helps to keep cutting forces low and surfaces clean.

Is the insert reversible and indexable?
Yes — the TNMG160404 is double‑sided and indexable; both sides can be used before disposal, and the cylindrical hole supports secure clamping in compatible ISO holders.

How is holder compatibility determined?
Compatibility depends on the insert form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; the TNMG160404 fits ISO‑compatible triangular holders that accept a 16 mm insert with a 4.76 mm thickness.

Does this insert have a coating?
No — the cutting material is uncoated cemented carbide, chosen to provide a sharp cutting edge and reduced cutting forces in the intended applications.

What corner radius and applications suit this insert?
The 0.4 mm corner radius is suitable for fine profiling and finishing passes where a balance between edge strength and surface definition is required.
