TPGN 160304 LX11 Wendeplatten - Tungaloy

Benefit from the combination of LX11 wear resistance and the 60° triangular geometry for steady, productive turning; compatibility requires matching form, relief angle (11°) and plate thickness (3.18 mm). Order the insert directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult their specialists for application support.

TPGN 160304 LX11 indexable insert for turning, Tungaloy — 60° triangular, 0.4 mm radius

The TPGN160304 LX11 is an ISO‑standard triangular indexable insert designed for general external and internal turning, offering a balance of wear resistance and edge stability for a wide range of materials.

• ISO‑standard triangular insert TPGN 160304 LX11
• Balanced wear resistance and edge stability
• 11° relief angle for versatile turning
• 3.18 mm plate thickness for secure clamping

Stable cutting performance and clear productivity gain

The triangular geometry with a 60° included angle and a small 0.4 mm corner radius provides a stable seating and repeatable contact point, which supports consistent machining results. Manufactured from carbide and specified in the LX11 grade, this insert is tailored to combine wear resistance with sufficient toughness for common turning tasks. The result is measurable process stability and longer effective tool life, enabling fewer tool changes and improved machine uptime.

Compatibility guidance to avoid tooling mismatches

Compatibility depends on the insert form, 11° relief angle, tolerance class, clamping method and the plate thickness of 3.18 mm. The insert is supplied without a hole and without a chipbreaker, so selection of a matching holder, shim and clamp is essential for secure fastening and correct rake/lead geometry. The system typically comprises the ISO insert, a suitable external holder or boring bar, a locating shim or clamp set and replacement screws — verifying these elements ensures safe, vibration‑free operation and predictable cutting forces.

Application suitability and material coverage

The LX11 Tungaloy grade is developed to deliver a useful compromise between wear resistance and edge stability, making it suitable for a broad spectrum of turning tasks across common engineering materials. Because the insert has no integrated chipbreaker, it is particularly effective where free‑flowing chips are acceptable or where the holder provides chip control; for heavy interrupted cuts or difficult alloys, choosing a matching chip control geometry and stable clamping enhances performance. The ISO designation and robust carbide construction support reproducible results and straightforward tool management on production lines.

FAQ

What applications is this insert best suited for?
This insert is intended for general external and internal turning; the LX11 grade provides a balance of wear resistance and edge stability suitable for a wide range of materials.

How is compatibility with a toolholder checked?
Compatibility is verified by matching the insert form (TPGN), relief angle (11°), plate thickness (3.18 mm), clamping style and the tolerance class of the holder.

Does the insert include a chipbreaker?
The insert is supplied without a chipbreaker; chip control must therefore be achieved via the holder geometry or external tooling strategy.

What are the key dimensions to note when ordering?
Key dimensions are the ISO designation TPGN160304, size 16 mm, plate thickness 3.18 mm, relief angle 11° and corner radius 0.4 mm.

Can this insert be used for hardened materials?
The LX11 grade is optimised for a balance of wear resistance and toughness; for specifically hardened steels, selection should be aligned with the material hardness and cutting parameters.
