TPGT 16T302 TH10 turning insert, ISO triangular 16 mm – Tungaloy

TPGT16T302 TH10 is an ISO-standard turning insert designed for external and internal turning tasks, offering a sharp, uncoated carbide cutting edge suited to non-ferrous materials and operations where low cutting forces and clean surfaces are required.

ISO triangular insert, 16 mm
Uncoated carbide grade TH10
0.2 mm corner radius for fine finishes
Central hole with countersunk seating

Reliable ISO conformity for predictable process control

The ISO-standard geometry of this insert ensures repeatable seating and interchangeability with ISO-compatible toolholders, simplifying tool management and setup. As an uncoated carbide grade, TH10 delivers low cutting forces and supports clean surface finishes when machining aluminium, brass and similar materials; this makes it especially useful where mechanical stress on the part must be minimised. The clear specification of the insert — including the 16 mm size and 3.97 mm thickness — enables precise process planning and easier tool life estimation, improving throughput and reducing unplanned downtime.

Secure mounting and straightforward system integration

Compatibility with the toolholder is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; the insert’s central hole with a cylindrical bore and a one-sided countersink (40°–60°) provides a stable clamping point and predictable axial location. The system comprises the ISO insert, a suitable external holder or boring bar, a shim/clamp set and replacement screws, so replacement and inventory management remain straightforward. Clear mechanical interfaces reduce seating errors and support consistent cutting geometries across production batches.

Application-focused cutting behaviour and surface quality

The single-sided chipbreaker and the sharp, uncoated cutting edge are configured to reduce built-up edge and produce a clean chip form in non-ferrous alloys, yielding improved surface finishes and lower secondary operations. The 0.2 mm corner radius is optimised for fine-facing and light-turning tasks where an accurate profile and edge definition matter, while the 11° clearance angle and the 60° triangular shape balance strength with access to tight radii. Selecting the correct chipbreaker and grade according to workpiece material and stability will extend effective tool life and maintain consistent component quality.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited to?
The TPGT16T302 TH10 insert is designed primarily for non-ferrous materials such as aluminium and brass, where the uncoated carbide edge and TH10 grade promote low cutting forces and clean surface finish.

How does the central hole affect clamping?
The central hole with a cylindrical bore and one-sided countersink (40°–60°) gives a reliable seating for positive clamping systems, improving repeatability when fitting the insert into ISO-compatible holders.

Can this insert be used for both external and internal turning?
Yes; the insert’s triangular geometry and specified clearance angle allow use in both external and internal turning operations when paired with the appropriate holder or boring bar.

What does the 0.2 mm corner radius mean for surface finish?
A 0.2 mm corner radius produces a fine edge suitable for finishing passes and detailed profiles, helping to achieve smoother surfaces with reduced tool pressure during light turning.

Which chipbreaker is fitted and what is its benefit?
This insert has a one-sided chipbreaker, which is advantageous for managing chip formation in thin-walled or ductile non-ferrous workpieces and contributes to consistent chip flow.
