TNMG 160404 GH330 indexable insert for turning, 60° triangle by Tungaloy

A TNMG160404 GH330 indexable insert engineered for external and internal turning with a double-sided chipbreaker and a cylindrical fixing hole.

• ISO‑compatible triangular insert, 60°
• Carbide grade GH330 for balanced wear resistance
• Double‑sided chipbreaker for consistent chip control
• Cylindrical hole for secure clamping

Reliable performance and ISO compatibility for production turning

The triangular indexable insert features a 60° cutting angle and is manufactured to ISO tolerances, ensuring interchangeability with standard holders. This standardised geometry simplifies tool inventory and reduces spindle downtime because inserts can be replaced without requalifying the holder. The insert is produced from carbide, giving a controlled hardness and fracture resistance that supports steady cutting under varied conditions. Compatibility is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness.

Balanced grade GH330 for wear resistance and edge stability

The GH330 grade is a Tungaloy development that blends wear resistance with sufficient toughness to maintain edge stability in common turning tasks. The grade complements the insert geometry to resist flank wear while avoiding premature chipping, which improves component quality and extends index life. Where surface finish and repeatability are priorities, the grade’s formulation supports predictable tool life and consistent results across batch runs.

Practical chip control and secure clamping for process reliability

A double-sided chipbreaker on this insert enables effective chip segmentation in both directions of use, reducing the risk of built-up edge and improving evacuation in through‑cut and parting operations. The insert’s cylindrical hole and standard mounting interface allow secure clamping in the pocket, enhancing repeatable positioning and minimising vibration. These features combine to reduce rework and support higher feed rates where machine rigidity permits.

Application guidance and selection advice for turning tasks

Designed for general turning, the insert suits external and internal operations on a broad range of steels and similar materials when matched with the correct chipbreaker and cutting data. Selection should consider workpiece material, machining stability and required surface finish; a tougher grade or altered geometry may be chosen for interrupted cuts or unstable set‑ups. For precise recommendations, machinability and process parameters can be reviewed with Metav Werkzeuge to match speeds, feeds and depth of cut to the Tungaloy grade and insert geometry.
