TNMG160416 TH10 ISO turning insert for turning — Tungaloy

TNMG160416 TH10 is an ISO-format indexable insert designed for external and internal turning with a 60° triangular geometry and a cylindrical locating hole

• ISO TNMG geometry for wide holder compatibility
• Uncoated carbide TH10 for low cutting forces
• Double-sided chipbreaker for consistent chip control
• 1.6 mm corner radius for improved surface finish

Faster, cleaner turning with a sharp uncoated grade

The TH10 grade is an uncoated carbide formulation optimised for applications where a sharp cutting edge reduces cutting forces and delivers a cleaner surface. In practice this means lower feed resistance and reduced tendency to built-up edge when machining non-ferrous materials and softer alloys. The combination of the 60° triangular form and a 1.6 mm corner radius supports steady engagement at the cut edge, translating into reliable metal removal and improved dimensional consistency during both roughing and light finishing passes.

Seamless integration through ISO geometry and standard dimensions

Configured to ISO norms, the insert’s geometry and dimensions ensure straightforward integration with standard turning holders. Key interface parameters such as form, clearance angle (0°), tolerance class, clamping style and plate thickness determine compatibility; by matching these values the insert can be fitted quickly without extensive rework of the toolholder. This standardisation reduces stock complexity and shortens setup time on the shop floor, supporting continuous production and predictable tool change procedures.

Controlled chip formation for stable processes and surface quality

The double-sided chipbreaker design promotes consistent chip control on both faces of the plate, helping to avoid long curled chips and to maintain stable cutting forces. For operators this reduces vibration and aids surface finish consistency. The sharp uncoated edge of the grade further assists in producing short, predictable chips when paired with appropriate feeds and speeds. This combination is particularly effective when machining aluminium, brass and other non-ferrous workpieces where chip control directly affects cycle time and component quality.

Robust clamping, economical usage and practical handling

A cylindrical locating hole and a plate thickness of 4.76 mm provide secure clamping and repeatable positioning in the pocket. The triangular plate form and the double-sided chipbreaker extend the number of usable cutting edges, contributing to better cost per edge and lower tooling consumption across batches. For applications requiring fast switching between external and internal turning, or where tool change speed is essential, this insert offers a pragmatic balance of precision and economy.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The TNMG160416 TH10 insert is optimised for non‑ferrous materials and applications where a sharp, uncoated cutting edge supports low cutting forces and clean surfaces.

How does the TH10 grade influence cutting behaviour?
TH10 is an uncoated carbide grade that provides a keen edge and reduced friction at the cut, resulting in lower cutting forces and improved finish on softer alloys and non‑ferrous materials.

Which holder characteristics determine compatibility?
Compatibility depends on holder form, 0° clearance angle, tolerance class, clamping method, plate size and thickness; matching these factors ensures correct seating of the TNMG160416 insert.

Does the insert offer chip control for continuous turning?
Yes, the double‑sided chipbreaker on the insert supports repeatable chip formation and stable cut conditions, aiding surface quality and process reliability.

What are the key dimensions to check before ordering?
Verify the ISO designation TNMG160416, plate size 16 mm, thickness 4.76 mm and corner radius 1.6 mm to ensure the insert matches the toolholder pocket and intended machining task.
