VNMG 160404 TH10 — ISO indexable turning insert VNMG160404-33 by Tungaloy

A VNMG160404-33 TH10 indexable turning insert engineered for external and internal turning, offering a rhombic form and an uncoated, sharp cutting edge optimised for non-ferrous materials and low-force finishing.

• ISO rhombic insert for ISO 160404 systems
• Sharp TH10 uncoated carbide for low cutting forces
• 0.4 mm corner radius for fine surface finishes
• Cylindrical-hole design for secure clamping

Consistent low cutting forces and superior surface quality

The combination of the TH10 grade and an uncoated carbide cutting edge provides a low-friction contact that reduces cutting forces and heat generation during machining. For operations where clean finishes and tight tolerances matter, the sharp edge and controlled edge preparation minimise burr formation and promote longer tool life under light to medium cutting conditions. This performance is particularly relevant when machining non-ferrous materials where adhesion and built-up edge are common concerns; the chosen alloy supports stable chip formation and predictable cutting behaviour.

ISO compatibility and secure clamping that supports reliable indexing

Designed to the ISO standard for turning inserts, the rhombic shape and the cylindrical central hole ensure compatibility with a wide range of holders and toolposts when the correct form, clearance, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness are observed. The rhombic geometry with a 0° relief angle enables straightforward orientation for both external and internal turning tasks. Correctly matching the insert to the clamping system and holder guarantees repeatable seating, secure fixation during heavy interrupted cuts, and fast, error-free indexing for multi-edge use.

Productivity advantages for workshop and production settings

With a 0.4 mm radius and a dedicated chipbreaker 33, the insert balances edge strength and fine finish capability, allowing efficient finishing passes without sacrificing process reliability. The plate thickness of 4.76 mm combined with the rhombic form gives sufficient support in the pocket, reducing vibration and improving surface integrity. As part of an ISO-based system, the insert supports quick tool changes and predictable replenishment cycles, contributing to reduced downtime and more consistent cycle times in batch production environments.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The VNMG160404-33 TH10 is optimised for non-ferrous materials and applications where an uncoated, sharp cutting edge supports low cutting forces and clean surfaces.

How does the TH10 grade affect machining performance?
The TH10 grade provides a sharp, uncoated carbide edge that reduces cutting forces and encourages stable chip formation, leading to improved surface quality in finishing operations.

Is this insert compatible with standard ISO toolholders?
Yes; the insert follows the ISO 160404 designation and is compatible with holders that match the form, clearance, tolerance class, fastening and size of the insert.

What is the function of the chipbreaker 33?
Chipbreaker 33 controls chip formation for the intended cutting conditions, helping to evacuate chips reliably while maintaining a fine surface finish.

Can the insert be used for both external and internal turning?
The rhombic geometry and central cylindrical hole allow secure clamping for both external and internal turning when used with the appropriate holder.
