TNMG160408 AH110 ISO turning insert by Tungaloy — PVD-coated carbide, 0.8 mm radius

A TNMG160408 AH110 triangular ISO insert designed for external and internal turning, engineered for process security and a sharp cutting edge in stable machining conditions

• PVD-coated carbide grade AH110
• Double-sided chipbreaker for versatility
• 0° clearance angle for positive cutting
• TNMG 160408 triangular insert, 0.8 mm radius

Consistent cutting performance and process security

The PVD-coated carbide specification provides a wear-resistant surface that extends cutting life while maintaining a razor-sharp edge, delivering measurable improvements in cycle stability. The offered grade is optimised for applications where edge integrity and repeatability matter; the double-sided chipbreaker reduces build-up and stabilises chip flow, which in turn lowers vibration and improves surface finish. This leads to fewer interruptions and a steadier production output during turning operations.

Clear fitment rules and simple mounting guidance

Compatibility is governed by the ISO form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The triangular geometry matched to an appropriate outer holder or boring bar ensures secure clamping and repeatable positioning. The insert has a cylindrical hole for positive locating and a nominal thickness of 4.76 mm, so selection of the mating holder should reflect these dimensions and the ISO 160408 designation to ensure correct seating and clamp engagement.

Material suitability and recommended use cases

The wear- and fracture-resistant grade is designed for general turning where a sharp cutting edge and process reliability are priorities. Typical applications include external finishing and light to medium roughing where dimensional accuracy and surface integrity matter. The 0° clearance angle produces a positive cutting geometry that is advantageous for stable setups, while the 0.8 mm corner radius balances edge strength with the ability to achieve fine surface finishes on machined components.

Practical benefits for workshop productivity

Using this ISO-series insert reduces downtime associated with edge failure and simplifies inventory through a standardised ISO designation. The robust PVD layer and carbide substrate together offer consistent tool life across batches, supporting predictable maintenance intervals and cost calculations. Where tool change frequency and surface quality are KPIs, the insert contributes to improved throughput and fewer corrective operations.

Technical considerations for optimal results

Select the chipbreaker and grade matching the workpiece material and machining conditions: the combination of grade AH110 and the double-sided breaker is optimised for stable cutting and controlled chip formation. For unstable setups, choose more conservative cutting parameters or a holder with enhanced rigidity. When switching to this insert, verify holder compatibility with the ISO TNMG 160408 geometry and confirm screw and clamp fit due to the cylindrical hole design.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The TNMG160408 AH110 insert is a PVD-coated carbide grade designed for general turning where wear resistance and a sharp cutting edge are required; select the chipbreaker and cutting data according to the specific workpiece material.

How is the insert fixed to the holder?
The insert uses a cylindrical hole for positive locating and must be used with a compatible ISO triangular holder or boring bar that matches the 16 mm size and 4.76 mm thickness.

Can this insert be used for internal turning?
Yes, the ISO geometry and double-sided chipbreaker permit both external and internal turning, provided the holder offers sufficient rigidity and correct seating.

What advantage does the AH110 grade offer?
AH110 combines wear resistance and fracture toughness suitable for stable machining conditions, offering consistent tool life and process security in turning operations.

Which features most affect surface finish?
The corner radius of 0.8 mm and the positive cutting geometry from the 0° clearance angle influence achievable surface finish; paired with a stable holder and correct feed, the insert supports fine surface quality.
