TPGT 130304 TH10 indexable turning insert for turning — Tungaloy

A compact, ISO‑format triangular indexable insert, TPGT130304 TH10 by Tungaloy, engineered for external and internal turning where low cutting forces and clean surface quality are required.

• ISO‑format triangular insert, 60° included angle
• Sharp, uncoated TH10 grade for non‑ferrous
• 0.4 mm corner radius for fine finishing
• Cylindrical hole with one‑side countersink 40°–60°

Lower cutting forces and cleaner surfaces for non‑ferrous turning

The insert is supplied in the uncoated carbide grade TH10, a sharp universal composition designed to reduce cutting forces and promote a clean surface on non‑ferrous materials. This lower cutting resistance helps to reduce tool vibration and minimise thermal loading on the cutting edge, which in turn supports reproducible finishes and extended cycle stability in repetitive turning tasks. The sharp edge geometry is particularly advantageous where fine surface quality is the primary objective.

Precise geometry and ISO compatibility that simplify setup

Designed to the ISO turning plate series, the triangular plate features a 60° geometry, an inscribed size of 13 mm and a nominal 11° clearance angle; plate thickness is 3.18 mm. These standardised dimensions ensure compatibility with a wide range of external holders and boring bars, provided form, clearance, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness match the holder. The plate includes a cylindrical hole with a one‑side countersink (40°–60°) to secure repeatable clamping and accurate seating in the tool body.

Practical setup and application guidance to improve productivity

The single‑sided chipbreaker is optimised for turning operations where chip control and stable cutting are required; selecting the appropriate chipbreaker and grade relative to workpiece material and machining conditions yields the best balance of productivity and surface quality. The geometry, with a 0.4 mm corner radius, supports light finishing cuts and helps maintain profile accuracy. System assembly normally comprises the ISO insert, a matched external holder or boring bar, a support pad/clamp set and replacement screws — a proven configuration for reliable, repeatable turning.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for aluminium and other non‑ferrous materials?
The TPGT130304 TH10 insert in uncoated carbide grade TH10 is designed specifically for non‑ferrous materials and applications where a sharp, uncoated edge supports low cutting forces and clean surfaces.

What holder compatibility must be checked before fitting the plate?
Compatibility is determined by insert form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; the plate is ISO‑format and requires a matching triangular holder or boring bar with suitable clamp and screws.

How many cutting edges are available per plate?
The triangular geometry provides up to three indexable cutting edges per plate, each with the specified 0.4 mm corner radius.

Does the plate require a specific chipbreaker selection?
This plate is supplied with a single‑sided chipbreaker; selection of the appropriate chipbreaker style and grade should be matched to the workpiece material and machining strategy for optimal chip control.
