TNMG160404 TH10 triangular indexable insert for turning — Tungaloy

TNMG160404 TH10 is an ISO-format triangular indexable insert for general turning, offering a sharp uncoated carbide edge and double-sided chipbreaker for versatile non-ferrous machining

• ISO TNMG 160404 geometry, 60° triangle
• Sharp uncoated carbide grade TH10
• Double-sided chipbreaker for versatile use
• Cylindrical hole and 0° clearance for secure clamping

Precision geometry for consistent turning performance

The TNMG160404 TH10 insert combines a standard 60° triangular geometry with a central cylindrical hole and a 0° clearance angle, ensuring reliable seating and repeatable clamping in ISO-compatible holders. The corner radius 0.4 mm and 16 mm nominal size provide a balance between edge strength and the ability to produce fine surface finishes. As an indexable insert, it can be rotated to present fresh cutting edges, extending usable life and lowering per-part cost compared with brazed tips. Compatibility depends on holder form, tolerance class and fastening method; the ISO system makes matching straightforward for most external and internal turning toolholders.

Low cutting forces and clean surface results for non-ferrous materials

Designed as a sharp universal grade, the TH10 uncoated carbide cutting material reduces cutting forces and helps avoid material buildup on the edge when machining aluminium, copper and Messing alloys. The double-sided chipbreaker improves chip control across a range of cutting depths and feeds without relying on a coating. For workshop environments where predictable chip formation and easy chip evacuation matter, this insert delivers efficient machining and consistent part quality. Choosing the correct chipbreaker and grade for the workpiece and machining stability optimises cycle time and tool life.

Practical guidance for selection and application

For reliable use, select a matching ISO-compatible external holder or boring bar that accommodates the 16 mm triangular plate and 4.76 mm thickness; secure clamping and correct seat geometry are essential to exploit the insert’s performance. Where surface finish is a priority, the modest corner radius and sharp edge favour finishing passes on non-ferrous components. For interrupted cuts or heavier engagement, consider toolholder stiffness and feed adjustment to protect the uncoated edge. The ISO format and standard dimensions simplify stocking and replacement, supporting continuous production with minimal downtime.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for? The TNMG160404 TH10 Tungaloy indexable insert is optimised for non-ferrous materials such as aluminium, copper and Messing, offering low cutting forces and clean surface results.

How does the double-sided chipbreaker affect productivity? A double-sided chipbreaker allows two usable cutting edges per side and consistent chip control across varied feeds, so the insert supports longer intervals between indexings and steady cycle times.

Which holders are compatible with the insert? Compatibility depends on holder form, free angle and clamping system; the TNMG160404 follows ISO dimensions, so most ISO-compatible triangular turning holders and boring bars that accept a 16 mm plate and 4.76 mm thickness will be suitable.

Is the TH10 grade coated or uncoated, and what does that mean in practice? The TH10 grade is uncoated carbide, which reduces built-up edge tendency on soft, non-ferrous alloys and keeps cutting forces low; the uncoated edge is easier to resharpen or replace in-shop procedures.

What stock references identify this item? This product is listed as TNMG160404 TH10 Tungaloy insert with article number 6808367 and shop SKU 6808367-Tungaloy.
