TPMN160308 UX30 ISO turning insert — Tungaloy triangular 16 mm, 11° relief

The TPMN160308 UX30 is an ISO‑standard indexable insert for external and internal turning, designed to deliver low cutting forces and controllable chip formation in a compact triangular form.

• ISO‑standard triangular insert 16 mm
• UX30 carbide grade with sharp cutting edge
• 11° relief angle for low cutting forces
• 0.8 mm corner radius for versatile turning

Consistent chip control and lower cutting forces for productive turning

The combination of an uncoated UX30 grade and a sharp cutting geometry results in noticeably lower cutting forces and improved chip formation, which benefits stability in both roughing and finishing passes. As an ISO‑compatible turning insert, the design concentrates cutting energy through a precise cutting edge, reducing feed vibration and prolonging tool life in many setups. The result is a tangible increase in machining efficiency and fewer interrupted cycles during production.

Reliable compatibility with ISO holders and fast insert exchange

Compatibility with clamping systems is determined by insert form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastenings, size and thickness; this insert adheres to ISO specifications for straightforward interchange. The triangular shape (16 mm across), the 3.18 mm thickness and the 60° included angle ensure predictable seating in matching external holders and boring bars. Maintenance routines benefit from standardised geometry: spares are easier to stock and changeovers are quicker, supporting a smooth workflow in mixed‑fleet toolrooms.

Application scope and machining recommendations for stable results

Intended for external and internal turning, the insert performs best when low cutting forces and efficient chip control are priorities. The 0.8 mm corner radius provides a balance between edge strength and surface finish, while the absence of a dedicated chipbreaker means cutting parameters and coolant strategy should be chosen according to material and stability. Matched with the correct holder and clamping, the insert contributes to repeatable component quality and predictable process windows, reducing scrap and rework in serial production.

FAQ

Which machining operations is this insert intended for?
The TPMN160308 UX30 insert from Tungaloy is intended for external and internal turning operations and is specified as an ISO‑standard turning insert.

What are the key properties of the UX30 grade?
The UX30 grade is an uncoated carbide developed for a sharp cutting edge, emphasising low cutting forces and controlled chip formation in turning applications.

Will this insert fit an existing ISO holder?
Compatibility depends on the holder matching the insert form, relief angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness; the TPMN160308 UX30 seats in holders that conform to the corresponding ISO geometry.

Does the insert include a chipbreaker or central hole?
The TPMN160308 UX30 is supplied without a chipbreaker and without a central hole, so chip control relies on grade, geometry and the chosen cutting parameters.

What are the corner radius and relief angle of this insert?
The insert features a 0.8 mm corner radius and an 11° relief angle, with an included angle of 60° and a thickness of 3.18 mm; the manufacturer article number is 6809074.
