TNMG160408 GH330 Tungaloy indexable insert (turning) — carbide, 60°

The TNMG160408 GH330 is an ISO‑standard triangular indexable insert designed for external and internal turning, offering a balanced combination of wear resistance and edge stability for general turning tasks.

• ISO‑standard triangular insert
• GH330 grade for wear resistance
• Double‑sided chipbreaker
• Cylindrical hole for secure clamping

Stable chip control for continuous production

The combination of a double‑sided chipbreaker and the GH330 Tungaloy grade promotes predictable chip formation under varied cutting conditions, which directly reduces downtime for chip clearing and tool changes. As a carbide insert with a precise 0.8 mm corner radius, the geometry supports smooth engagement at the cut and helps maintain dimensional consistency over multiple indexings. The functional design is particularly suited to shops that prioritise throughput and repeatability, since controlled chips and a robust edge lead to fewer interruptions and more consistent component quality.

Straightforward integration with ISO holders

Compatibility is governed by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness; the ISO‑standard designation ensures the insert fits common external holders and boring bars when the correct seat and clamp configuration are used. The cylindrical hole offers secure clamping and repeatable alignment, which simplifies index changes and reduces setup time. This practical fitment characteristic supports faster tool swaps in multi‑tool turrets and live‑tooling applications, enabling reliable short‑term fixes and longer production runs without excessive adjustment.

Material and grade advantages for general turning

The GH330 grade from Tungaloy is formulated to balance wear resistance and toughness, making it suitable for a broad range of steels and mixed materials in turning operations. The carbide substrate provides the hardness to withstand abrasive wear, while the grade’s toughness supports edge stability during interrupted cuts. For manufacturers seeking a cost‑effective solution that maintains surface quality and tool life under standard cutting speeds, this specification offers measurable improvements in process stability.

Geometry and practical benefits in everyday machining

With an included angle of 60°, a 4.76 mm thickness and a 16 mm size, the triangular configuration gives three indexable cutting corners per side; the insert is economical to use and quick to index when a fresh edge is required. The 0° clearance angle and the defined corner radius help to control cutting forces and surface finish, particularly on external finishes and light profiling work. Where fine tolerances and consistent surface quality are required, the insert geometry produces reliable outcomes while keeping changeover and inventory handling straightforward.
