VNMA 160402 TH10 ISO turning insert — uncoated carbide, 0.2 mm corner radius — Tungaloy

The VNMA160402 TH10 is a rhombic ISO turning insert designed for external and internal turning of non‑ferrous materials and similar applications

• Uncoated carbide grade TH10
• Rhombic insert, 16 mm size
• 0.2 mm corner radius
• 0° clearance angle, 35° lead angle

Optimised grade for low cutting forces and clean surfaces

The sharp TH10 grade is an uncoated carbide formulation developed for applications where a keen cutting edge reduces cutting forces and enhances surface quality. For turning of non‑ferrous materials, the sharp edge geometry supports stable chip formation and lowers the tendency for built‑up edge, which in turn reduces rework and finishing time. This makes the insert particularly suited to operations requiring a fine surface finish without relying on coating layers.

ISO compliance and secure clamping for predictable performance

Designed to the ISO series standards, the insert’s compatibility with a holder is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, clamping and the insert’s size and thickness. The rhombic geometry with a 16 mm nominal size and 4.76 mm thickness is combined with a cylindrical hole for positive indexing and repeatable seating. The 0° clearance angle and 35° approach/lead angle are optimised to balance cutting action and tool engagement, enabling predictable behaviour across matched holder systems.

Practical system build and production benefits

In normal workshop practice the insert is used as part of a modular system: ISO insert, matching external holder or boring bar, a locating shim/clamp set and replacement screws. This modularity simplifies inventory and reduces changeover time. The 0.2 mm corner radius provides a compromise between edge strength and fine finishing capability, helping to extend the usable edge life while maintaining dimensional control in turning operations. For shops focused on throughput and consistent results, this combination supports efficient, repeatable machining cycles.

FAQ

What materials are best suited to this insert?
The VNMA160402 TH10 insert is optimised for non‑ferrous materials and similar workpiece classes; the uncoated edge supports low cutting forces and clean surface results.

Is the cutting edge coated?
No, the TH10 grade supplied for the VNMA160402 is an uncoated carbide grade designed to provide a sharp edge where coatings are not required.

How is the insert mounted in the holder?
The insert uses a cylindrical hole and is clamped with a matching shim/clamp set; compatibility is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, clamping and insert size.

What does the 0.2 mm corner radius mean for machining?
A 0.2 mm corner radius offers a balance between edge strength and surface finish, helping to maintain dimensional control while supporting extended edge life in many turning tasks.

Which tooling system components are needed to build a working setup?
A typical system comprises the ISO insert, a matched external holder or boring bar, a locating shim/clamp set and spare screws, as indicated for the VNMA160402 TH10.
