TNMG160404 AH120 Tungaloy indexable insert for turning — PVD-coated carbide, 0.4 mm radius

The TNMG160404 AH120 Tungaloy insert is an ISO-standard triangular, double-sided indexable insert for external and internal turning, designed to deliver a sharp cutting edge and consistent process stability.

• PVD-coated carbide AH120 for wear resistance
• 0.4 mm corner radius for precise profiling
• Double-sided chipbreaker for extended life
• ISO TNMG 160404 with cylindrical hole

Reliable edge life for consistent turning quality

The combination of a PVD coating with the AH120 carbide composition provides a balanced resistance to abrasive wear and chipping while maintaining a sharp cutting edge. This results in predictable tool life and reduced scrap rates, which supports stable batch production. The 0.4 mm corner radius helps maintain profile accuracy on small features, and the coating assists in heat resistance during medium-duty turning, delivering repeatable component surface quality and fewer in-process interruptions.

Faster set-up and secure clamping for less downtime

Compatibility follows ISO conventions: the insert’s ISO 160404 geometry, 60° included angle and cylindrical hole make it straightforward to match with standard external holders and boring bars. The form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness determine holder compatibility, so correct pairing reduces set-up time and avoids clamping errors. Using an ISO-standard insert simplifies stocking and changeover, enabling quicker tool changes and higher machine uptime.

Economical machining with a reversible geometry

The triangular, double-sided design and integrated double-sided chipbreaker offer two usable cutting edges per face and multiple indexed positions, extending service life per insert and lowering cost-per-part. The robust PVD surface finish supports consistent cutting in varied turning tasks, while the insert’s geometry gives good edge stability under interrupted cuts. The overall effect is improved productivity and a more predictable machining process, particularly where a sharp edge and process reliability are required.
