TPMN 160308 TH10 ISO turning insert for turning applications — Tungaloy, 11° relief, 0.8 mm radius

The TPMN160308 TH10 is an ISO‑standard indexable turning insert designed for general external and internal turning, offering a sharp, uncoated carbide edge optimised for non‑ferrous materials

• ISO‑standard triangular insert, 16 mm
• Uncoated carbide grade TH10 for clean finishes
• 0.8 mm corner radius for versatile profiling
• 11° clearance angle and 3.18 mm thickness

Consistent compatibility reduces setup time and uncertainty

The ISO‑standard geometry ensures reliable fitment between insert and holder: form, clearance angle, tolerance class, attachment method, overall size and thickness determine compatibility. Using an ISO‑conforming insert minimises trial‑and‑error during changeover and reduces machine downtime. For production environments where predictable positioning and repeatability matter, the standardised specification supports quick indexing and consistent cutting lines, improving process throughput and part repeatability.

Cleaner surfaces and lower cutting forces with TH10 uncoated carbide

The sharp, uncoated carbide grade TH10 is selected for applications where low cutting forces and excellent surface appearance are priorities, notably on non‑ferrous workpieces. An uncoated edge can reduce built‑up edge formation on soft alloys and polymers, resulting in a cleaner finish without secondary operations. In practice, this means fewer rework cycles and more consistent dimensional quality when turning materials that typically adhere to coated edges.

Versatile edge geometry for everyday turning tasks

A 0.8 mm corner radius balances tool strength and profile fidelity: it supports light profiling and contouring while maintaining an edge robust enough for routine roughing. The 11° clearance angle and 3.18 mm plate thickness contribute to stable cutting behaviour, and the triangular plate shape offers multiple indexable corners for economical use. Choosing the correct holder and ensuring match to the insert geometry is essential; Metav Werkzeuge application specialists can advise on the optimal combination for specific machines and operations.

FAQ

Is the insert suitable for both external and internal turning? The TPMN160308 TH10 insert is designed for both external and internal turning operations, providing indexable edges for versatile turning tasks.

Which materials are best processed with this insert? This uncoated TH10 carbide grade is optimised for non‑ferrous materials and applications where low cutting forces and clean surfaces are required.

How many cutting edges are available per insert? The triangular plate form offers three indexable corners, enabling economical edge changes and reduced tooling costs.

Does the insert require a specific holder type? Compatibility depends on holder form, relief angle, tolerance class, attachment and size; matching the ISO geometry of the TPMN160308 ensures correct fit and stable cutting.

Is there a chipbreaker on this grade? This insert is supplied without a chipbreaker, which is suitable for materials that form long or continuous chips; chip control should be considered at the process level.
