TPGN 110308 TH10 triangular indexable turning insert by Tungaloy — 60° geometry, 0.8 mm nose radius

TPGN 110308 TH10 is an ISO-standard triangular insert designed for general turning applications on non-ferrous materials, offering a sharp, uncoated carbide cutting edge for low cutting forces and superior finishes.

• ISO-compliant triangular insert 60°
• Uncoated carbide for low cutting forces
• 0.8 mm nose radius for fine finishing
• 11° relief angle and 3.18 mm thickness

Precision geometry that balances finish and stability

The TPGN110308 TH10 embodies a classic 60° geometry in a triangular format, which gives a predictable cutting direction and three usable cutting edges per index. The 0.8 mm nose radius provides a fine compromise between edge strength and surface quality: it reduces vibration compared with very small radii while still enabling improved finish on light- to medium-cut turning operations. Because the insert conforms to ISO dimensions, holder compatibility is determined by form, relief angle and thickness, making it straightforward to find a matching clamping system and minimise setup time.

Why an uncoated carbide grade is advantageous here

The uncoated carbide grade TH10 is engineered as a sharp universal grade for non‑ferrous materials and for applications where a bare cutting edge helps to lower cutting forces and avoid material build-up. An uncoated edge slides more cleanly on soft, ductile materials and reduces the tendency for built-up edge, which in turn supports consistent surface quality. This choice is particularly effective when machining aluminium alloys, brass and other non-ferrous metals where heat generation and adhesion are the main concerns.

Clear integration with holders and practical setup tips

Compatibility depends on insert form, 11° relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method and plate thickness of 3.18 mm. When selecting a matching external holder or boring bar, ensure the seat and clamp align with the ISO designation to preserve the intended cutting geometry. For straightforward set-up, check clamping screw torque and seating cleanliness; a properly seated insert ensures repeatable positioning and extends the usable life of each edge. Using an appropriate positive or neutral holder will help exploit the low cutting-force advantage of this insert.

Process benefits and recommended turning applications

The insert is best applied to external and internal turning where a sharp edge yields better finishes and reduced cutting resistance. The lack of a chipbreaker focuses the advantage on free‑cutting, continuous chips typical of non‑ferrous machining; therefore, feed and depth should be adjusted to avoid long stringy chips in some alloys. The triangular shape gives three cutting edges per insert, improving economic efficiency, while ISO-standard sizing ensures easy replacement and inventory management. For consistent results, pair the insert with a holder that matches the plate thickness and orientation.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The TPGN110308 TH10 insert from Tungaloy is optimised for non‑ferrous materials such as aluminium and brass, where its uncoated TH10 grade reduces cutting forces and resists built‑up edge.

How does the 0.8 mm nose radius affect finish and tool life?
A 0.8 mm nose radius improves surface finish by smoothing tool marks while retaining sufficient edge strength for light to medium turning, making the insert suitable for finishing passes.

Which holder features are required for correct fitment?
Choose a holder that matches the ISO form, the 11° relief angle and the 3.18 mm plate thickness; correct seating and clamp torque are essential for repeatable performance with this Tungaloy insert (SKU TUN6808831).

Is there a chipbreaker on this insert and what does that mean for chip control?
This insert is supplied without a chipbreaker, so chip control depends on cutting parameters and material; it is ideal for free‑cutting non‑ferrous alloys where long, continuous chips are less problematic.

How many cutting edges are available per insert and why is that economical?
The triangular 60° design provides three usable cutting edges, offering good cost efficiency through multiple indexings before replacement.
