WBGT030104 TH10 trigon turning insert (ISO 030104) – Tungaloy

A WBGT030104 TH10 indexable insert for turning, designed for external and internal machining with a trigon form, single-sided chipbreaker and a secure, countersunk centre hole.

• Trigon insert geometry for versatile turning
• Sharp universal grade TH10 for non-ferrous metals
• 0.4 mm corner radius for precise profiles
• Countersunk centre hole for secure clamping

Consistent chip control and improved surface quality

The combination of the single-sided chipbreaker and the TH10 uncoated carbide grade enables reliable chip control when machining softer and non-ferrous materials. The breaker geometry promotes removal of long, stringy chips and reduces the frequency of manual interventions. As a result, cycle interruption is minimised and the produced surfaces are cleaner, supporting downstream processes that require a consistent finish. Compatibility with ISO holders is governed by form, clearance angle and tolerance class, ensuring reliable seating in standard tool systems.

Lower cutting forces for cleaner results

A sharp, uncoated cutting edge in the selected grade reduces built-up edge and lowers cutting resistance, especially in aluminium and similar alloys. The resulting low cutting forces lead to smaller radial loads on the workpiece and holder, which in turn supports repeatable dimension control and longer tool life in many setups. The 0.4 mm corner radius is well suited to profile work and light finishing passes where accurate edge definition matters without compromising strength.

Geometry and dimensions that support quick insert changes

The trigon form (size 03) and a plate thickness of 1.59 mm produce a compact footprint ideal for narrow tool pockets and limited-access turning operations. The insert is supplied with a cylindrical centre hole and a single-sided countersink (40°–60°), which secures the insert position and simplifies indexation. Standardised dimensions and ISO conformity allow straightforward replacement and interchangeability across compatible external holders and boring bars.

Material focus and application range

The uncoated carbide composition of this grade is a universal choice where low cutting forces and clean surfaces are priorities; typical applications include non-ferrous metals and light alloys. For tougher steels or hardened materials, alternative coated grades or geometries should be considered. The insert’s design favours turning operations where a balance between edge sharpness and mechanical robustness is required.

Process reliability and shop-floor benefits

Using this insert in a matched holder and correct cutting parameters reduces the risk of unpredictable wear and improves process stability. The ISO-standard format simplifies tool management and inventory control, while the clear form-and-fit characteristics make tool set-up and repeatable positioning straightforward. Predictable chip shapes and reduced rework translate into measurable productivity gains over time.

Practical considerations for integration

When integrating into a tooling system, ensure the holder matches the trigon profile, clearance angle (5°) and the insert thickness. The small corner radius and sharp edge demand appropriate feeds and speeds to avoid premature edge chipping; process documentation should list recommended parameters for the intended material. Regular inspection of clamping screws and shim condition is advised to maintain consistent seating and repeatability.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The TH10 grade is formulated as an uncoated carbide for non-ferrous metals and similar materials; the WBGT030104 TH10 insert delivers low cutting forces and clean surfaces when used on aluminium and other soft alloys.

How is the insert secured in the holder?
The insert features a cylindrical centre hole with a one-sided countersink (40°–60°) that enables secure clamping and consistent indexation when used with matching ISO trigon holders.

What profile detail can be achieved with the 0.4 mm radius?
A 0.4 mm corner radius provides accurate profile formation and a defined edge for light finishing; it balances edge strength with the ability to produce small radii without excessive cutting load.

Is the insert compatible with my existing ISO holder?
Compatibility depends on holder form, clearance angle (5°), tolerance class and pocket dimensions; the ISO format of the WBGT030104 facilitates interchangeability with standard trigon holders designed for size 03 inserts.

What is the manufacturer SKU and article number for ordering?
The insert is listed as WBGT030104 TH10 with article number 6809538 and manufacturer SKU TUN6809538 for clear identification in ordering and inventory.
