TNMG 160408 TH10 – Tungaloy turning insert (ISO triangular, 60°)

The TNMG160408 TH10 is an ISO‑standard triangular indexable insert for turning, designed as a sharp universal grade for non‑ferrous materials and applications requiring low cutting forces and clean surface finishes

• TNMG triangular form with 60° included angle
• Sharp TH10 grade for non‑ferrous materials
• 0.8 mm corner radius for fine contouring
• Double‑sided insert with cylindrical centre hole

Precise turning with a sharp, uncoated cutting edge

The uncoated carbide grade TH10 is engineered to provide a sharp cutting edge that reduces cutting forces and improves surface quality when machining non‑ferrous materials. In practice, this means less burr formation and easier finishing, especially in delicate or thin‑walled components. An uncoated edge also enables more predictable shear behaviour in alloys where coatings can seize or raise cutting temperatures; the result is a reliable performance profile for jobs where a clean surface and low machining load are priorities.

Stable geometry and secure location for reproducible results

The triangular TNMG form with a 60° included angle offers a robust profile that resists deflection under cutting loads, and the insert is supplied with a cylindrical centre hole to ensure positive location and clamping. Compatibility with a toolholder is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness, so the insert is best used in ISO‑compatible external or internal turning holders. This architecture delivers reproducible cutting geometry and predictable tool life, which supports process stability and repeatable part quality.

Efficient use and handling through double‑sided indexing

The double‑sided design extends the usable life of each insert by allowing rotation to a fresh cutting edge, reducing tooling costs per part and minimising set‑up frequency in production. With a plate thickness of 4.76 mm and 0.8 mm corner radius, the insert balances edge strength and contour fidelity: the radius supports smoother transitions and better finishes, while the plate thickness ensures secure clamping and resistance to edge chipping during interrupted cuts. These attributes make the insert a practical choice for shop environments focused on productivity and consistent output.

Application guidance and system considerations

Use the insert for both external and internal turning operations where non‑ferrous materials are predominant; choose a matching double‑sided chipbreaker and the appropriate grade for the workpiece and machining stability. The system comprises the ISO insert, a suitable external holder or boring bar, and the required shim/clamp set plus replacement screws. For best results, pair the insert with a holder that matches the insert form, clearance angle 0°, tolerance class and thickness to maintain correct tool geometry and secure fixation during high‑feed or interrupted cuts.

FAQ

Which materials are best suited to this insert?
The TNMG160408 TH10 insert from Tungaloy is optimised for non‑ferrous materials, providing low cutting forces and clean surface finishes when machining alloys such as aluminium and copper‑based materials.

How is holder compatibility determined?
Compatibility depends on the insert form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; the ISO designation and the cylindrical centre hole facilitate correct location and clamping in ISO‑compatible holders.

Is the insert reversible or indexable?
Yes, the double‑sided design allows indexing to additional cutting edges, extending the usable life of each insert and reducing tooling changeover frequency.

What effect does the 0.8 mm corner radius have?
A 0.8 mm corner radius supports a finer surface finish and smoother contour transitions while still providing adequate edge strength for general turning operations.

Can this insert be used for internal turning?
The insert is suitable for both external and internal turning when matched to an appropriate boring bar or internal holder that accepts ISO‑standard triangular inserts.
