TPGT 16T304 TH10 — ISO triangular turning insert by Tungaloy, uncoated carbide for turning

TPGT 16T304 TH10 is an ISO-format triangular indexable insert designed for general turning applications where low cutting forces and clean surfaces are required

• ISO triangular insert TPGT 16T304
• Sharp universal grade TH10
• Optimal for non-ferrous materials
• Cylindrical hole + single-sided countersink

Low cutting forces and improved surface quality for turning operations

The combination of an uncoated carbide cutting edge and the TH10 grade results in reliably low cutting forces, which helps to reduce drive power and to produce clean surface finishes on non-ferrous components. The triangular form with a 0.4 mm corner radius gives a balance between strength and edge sharpness for both external and internal turning. This geometry supports smoother engagement in interrupted cuts and contributes to predictable tool behaviour in short to medium-length machining cycles.

ISO compatibility simplifies tool selection and inventory

Supplied as an ISO-standard insert, the plate integrates into common tool systems; compatibility is determined by shape, clearance angle, tolerance class, mounting, size and thickness. The insert’s 3.97 mm thickness and 16 mm size match standard holders for straightforward replacement, while the 11° clearance helps avoid rubbing at the flank face. The TPGT16T304 insert therefore reduces inventory complexity and improves repeatability when paired with appropriate external holders or boring bars.

Secure clamping and practical chip control for workshop efficiency

A cylindrical hole with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°) ensures positive locating and secure clamping in most standard seats, while the single-sided chipbreaker supports the chip formation suitable for the targeted materials. The uncoated edge of this grade is particularly advantageous where a sharp cutting edge is required to minimise built-up edge on softer alloys. For a complete machining system, combine the insert with a matching holder, shim/clamping set and replacement screws as required for stable performance.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The TH10 grade is intended for non-ferrous materials and applications where an uncoated carbide edge supports low cutting forces and a clean surface finish; the TPGT16T304 insert performs well on aluminium and similar alloys.

How is compatibility with a toolholder ensured?
Compatibility depends on the insert’s form, 11° clearance angle, tolerance class, mounting method, size (16 mm) and thickness (3.97 mm); the TPGT16T304 fits ISO-standard triangular seats that match these parameters.

Does the insert require a specific chipbreaker for different tasks?
Select the chipbreaker according to material, operation and stability; this insert features a single-sided chipbreaker, which is suited to the intended non-ferrous applications and supports controlled chip formation.

What benefit does the cylindrical hole with countersink provide?
The cylindrical hole plus single-sided countersink (40°–60°) provides positive locating and stable clamping, improving repeatability and resistance to loosening during turning operations with the TPGT16T304.
