TPGT 16T304 TH10 turning insert by Tungaloy — triangular ISO insert for precision turning with a 60° cutting angle

TPGT16T304 TH10 is a triangular, ISO‑standard turning insert intended for external and internal turning on non‑ferrous materials; its uncoated carbide grade supports low cutting forces and clean surface generation

• ISO triangular insert TPGT 16T304 TH10
• Sharp uncoated carbide for non‑ferrous materials
• 0.4 mm corner radius, 60° geometry
• Cylindrical hole with single countersink 40°–60°

Consistent, low‑force cutting for non‑ferrous workpieces

The insert is manufactured in an uncoated carbide grade TH10, developed for applications where a sharp cutting edge reduces cutting forces and produces a cleaner finish on aluminium, brass and similar alloys. The 60° cutting geometry, combined with a 0.4 mm corner radius, provides a controlled edge engagement that reduces vibration and supports a higher surface quality. For shops aiming to improve cycle times without sacrificing finish, this grade is a pragmatic choice that keeps forces moderate while maintaining dimensional stability.

Seamless integration into ISO turning systems for reliable clamping

Compatibility with toolholders is determined by the insert’s form, relief angle (11°), tolerance class, mounting style, size and thickness (3.97 mm). The triangular form and the centre cylindrical hole with a single countersink (40°–60°) allow secure fastening in standard external holders or boring bars; a matching shim or clamp set and replacement screws complete the system. This standardised approach simplifies inventory management and reduces set‑up time across mixed machine fleets.

Productivity advantages and process security in routine turning

The uncoated carbide composition supports reliable chip formation and straightforward post‑process handling in many non‑ferrous operations. Selecting a single‑sided chipbreaker in conjunction with grade TH10 yields predictable chip control and consistent tool life when matched to material and machining stability. The combination of a sharp edge and ISO standardisation helps to achieve repeatable results, which contributes positively to overall machining economics and process security in production environments.

Practical selection and application guidance

For effective use, pair the insert with a holder that matches the TPGT geometry and ensure clamping torque and seat condition are correct to prevent movement or damage. The system build typically comprises the ISO insert, a compatible external holder or boring bar, a shim/clamp set and spare fixing screws. If uncertainty remains about suitability for a particular alloy or cutting parameter, Metav Werkzeuge provides application guidance and additional technical specifications to support the decision.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited to machine?
The TPGT16T304 in TH10 grade is optimised for non‑ferrous materials such as aluminium and brass, where a sharp uncoated edge reduces cutting forces and improves surface finish.

How does the 0.4 mm corner radius affect performance?
A 0.4 mm corner radius provides a balance between strength and edge sharpness: it lowers cutting forces compared with larger radii while still offering enough edge support for stable turning operations.

Is the insert compatible with standard ISO toolholders?
Yes. The insert follows ISO specifications; compatibility depends on matching the insert form, 11° relief angle, tolerance class, mounting type, size (16 mm) and 3.97 mm thickness with the chosen holder.

Can this insert be used for internal and external turning?
The triangular TPGT geometry and the centre hole fixation make the insert suitable for both external and internal turning when paired with the appropriate external holder or boring bar.

What is the chipbreaker style and how does it influence chip control?
The insert is supplied with a single‑sided chipbreaker, which, together with the sharp TH10 edge, encourages predictable chip formation and straightforward evacuation in many non‑ferrous machining scenarios.
