TPGA 160304 TH10 – Indexable turning insert (Turning) by Tungaloy

TPGA160304 TH10 Tungaloy‑Wendeplatte is an ISO‑standard triangular indexable insert designed for general turning applications, especially where low cutting forces and clean surfaces are required

• ISO‑standard triangular insert
• Universal TH10 uncoated carbide grade
• 11° clearance angle for stable cutting
• Central cylindrical hole for secure clamping

Consistent performance for productive turning operations

The uncoated carbide composition of this indexable insert provides predictable wear behaviour and reduced cutting forces, making it especially suitable for machining non‑ferrous materials and mixed batches. The combination of a sharp universal grade TH10 and the ISO‑standard interface ensures compatibility with a wide range of holders; the result is reliable chip control and repeatable part quality. This technical setup supports a high material removal rate where low cutting resistance and a clean surface finish are priorities.

Accurate geometry that supports surface quality and tool life

A defined 0.4 mm corner radius and an 11° clearance angle create a cutting edge geometry that balances strength and finish: the corner radius helps to distribute cutting loads and reduce edge chipping, while the clearance angle minimises rubbing and heat buildup. The triangular geometry with a central cylindrical hole provides stable clamping and easy indexing, reducing downtime during tool changes and supporting consistent cycle times across production runs.

Practical benefits and application guidance for workshops

Designed for external and internal turning, the insert features a 16 mm inscribed circle and a plate thickness of 3.18 mm, offering a compact solution where space and rigidity are factors. The absence of a dedicated chipbreaker makes this insert best suited to applications where the workpiece material and cutting parameters naturally produce manageable chips; for other situations, pairing the insert with an appropriate holder and cutting strategy will deliver the intended productivity and surface quality. Compatibility depends on holder form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The TPGA160304 TH10 Tungaloy insert is optimised for non‑ferrous materials and mixed batches where an uncoated carbide cutting edge supports low cutting forces and a clean surface finish.

How is the insert clamped in the holder?
Clamping is achieved via a central cylindrical hole and the ISO‑standard geometry; the triangular form and 11° relief ensure secure indexing in compatible turning holders.

Can this insert be reused by indexing?
Yes, the triangular geometry provides multiple cutting edges; the TPGA160304 TH10 insert can be indexed to a fresh edge as part of standard tool maintenance procedures.

What factors determine compatibility with a toolholder?
Compatibility depends on holder form, clearance/relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, insert size and thickness; matching these parameters ensures correct fit and repeatable performance with the TPGA160304 TH10.
