VNMG160408-33 TH10 – ISO indexable turning insert by Tungaloy, 35° rhombic geometry

VNMG160408-33 TH10 is an ISO‑normed indexable turning insert designed for external and internal turning where a clean surface and low cutting forces are required.

• Uncoated carbide TH10 for clean finishes
• Rhombic 35° geometry with cylindrical hole
• 0.8 mm corner radius for precise profiling
• ISO 160408 compatibility for standard holders

Precise machining with a low‑force, uncoated carbide grade

The insert employs the TH10 uncoated carbide grade, chosen for applications where a surgical edge and controlled cutting forces are priorities. This carbide grade supports a clean surface on non‑ferrous materials and reduces built‑up edge, which benefits finishing passes and delicate profiles. The uncoated cutting edge maintains low friction at moderate speeds, so the tool delivers consistent results when a low cutting force is desirable. The supplied geometry and grade together support reliable material removal without aggressive coating layers that could mask the cutting edge behaviour.

ISO compatibility and secure clamping for repeatable results

Built to the ISO 160408 form, the insert’s rhombic outline and cylindrical hole ensure compatibility with a wide range of standard turning holders. Compatibility is determined by the insert form, relief angle, tolerance class, mounting method, size and thickness; this insert meets those ISO parameters for straightforward integration into existing tool systems. The 35° lead angle favours versatile turning strategies, delivering a balance between cutting edge engagement and radial load distribution. Clear specification of form and key dimensions enables predictable setup and minimises downtime during tool changes.

Optimised edge form and chip control for finishing and profiling

The 0.8 mm corner radius is sized to support accurate profiling and stable finishing cuts without sacrificing edge strength. The integrated chipbreaker 33 has been designed to influence chip formation according to workpiece stability and cutting conditions; choosing the correct chipbreaker and grade reduces machining vibration and improves surface integrity. The insert’s 0° relief angle maintains consistent contact geometry for many turning tasks, while the uncoated edge simplifies regrinding or edge honing where required.

Practical application advice and system considerations

Intended for turning, this indexable insert is suitable for both external and internal operations on non‑ferrous materials and similar alloys where the TH10 grade performs well. Selection of the matching holder, appropriate clamping set and correct screw torque is critical for extracting full performance: the ISO form and the cylindrical hole support secure seating, but the holder’s clearance angles and tolerance class determine final stability. For semi‑finishing and finishing passes, pairing the insert’s geometry with stable workholding and reduced depth of cut will generate the best surface quality with minimal cutting forces.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The VNMG160408-33 TH10 insert uses the TH10 uncoated carbide grade and is particularly suited to non‑ferrous materials and situations where a clean surface and low cutting forces are required.

How does the 0.8 mm corner radius affect machining?
A 0.8 mm corner radius provides accurate profiling and improved edge strength during finishing passes, helping to produce consistent surface quality with the VNMG160408-33 TH10.

Is this insert compatible with standard ISO turning holders?
Yes; the insert follows the ISO 160408 form and is compatible with holders designed for that ISO specification, provided the holder matches in form, clearance and clamping method.

What does the chipbreaker 33 influence in operation?
Chipbreaker 33 shapes chip formation to suit stability and cutting mode, aiding chip control and reducing the risk of entanglement during finishing and medium‑depth cuts with this insert.

Does the insert come coated?
The VNMG160408-33 TH10 is an uncoated carbide insert, selected where a sharp, uncoated cutting edge is preferred for low cutting forces and clean surface finishes.
