TPMR160304 TH10 TPMR turning insert — uncoated carbide, 0.4 mm radius by Tungaloy

TPMR160304 TH10 is a precision turning insert designed for ISO‑standard holders and optimised for external and internal turning of non‑ferrous materials.

• ISO‑standard geometry for broad compatibility
• Uncoated carbide for low cutting forces
• One‑sided chipbreaker for cleaner surfaces
• 0.4 mm corner radius for fine detail

Precision fit that minimises setup time and rejects

The triangular ISO‑standard geometry of this indexable insert ensures repeatable seating in matching holders: form, relief angle, tolerance class, clamping and thickness determine compatibility and interchangeability. Installed correctly, the design reduces deflection and vibration, which in turn improves dimensional repeatability and reduces scrap. Where quick changeovers are required, the possibility to use multiple cutting edges per insert increases economy while maintaining consistent part quality.

Sharp uncoated grade for clean finishes on non‑ferrous workpieces

The TH10 grade is an uncoated cemented carbide chosen for its sharpness and low cutting resistance, especially on aluminium, brass and other non‑ferrous materials. The one‑sided chipbreaker helps form compact chips and supports an even chip flow, resulting in fewer burrs and a clean surface finish. For semi‑finish to finish passes where low cutting forces are essential, this grade reduces built‑up edge and produces predictable surface integrity with reduced secondary operations.

Small radius and compact thickness for detailed turning and economical use

A corner radius of 0.4 mm and plate thickness of 3.18 mm allow controlled insert engagement for fine features and narrow shoulders, while the 60° triangle offers three usable cutting corners per index. The insert is supplied without hole, simplifying some clamping systems and reducing inventory variations. Selection of the correct insert must consider holder stability and cutting parameters: a rigid setup and appropriate feed ensure the best life from the uncoated grade while preserving surface quality.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for? TPMR160304 TH10 turning insert (SKU 6809128-Tungaloy) is optimised for non‑ferrous materials such as aluminium and brass, where its uncoated carbide grade delivers low cutting forces and clean finishes.

Can the insert be used for both external and internal turning? Yes, the triangular form and the specified dimensions make the insert suitable for both external and internal turning operations when paired with the correct ISO holder.

How does the TH10 grade affect tool life and surface quality? The TH10 uncoated carbide offers a sharp cutting edge that minimises built‑up edge and cutting forces, producing a predictable surface finish; tool life depends on workpiece material, cutting data and rigidity of the setup.

Which features determine whether this insert fits a holder? Compatibility is defined by geometry and tolerances: form, relief angle (11°), tolerance class, clamping style, insert size (16 mm) and thickness (3.18 mm) must match the holder specification.
