EPGT 040100 TH10 indexable insert for turning — Tungaloy

EPGT040100 TH10 is an ISO-standard rhombic indexable insert designed for external and internal turning of non-ferrous materials, offering low cutting forces and clean surface finishes in a compact 04 size.

• ISO-standard indexable insert, rhombic 04
• Uncoated cemented-carbide TH10 for low cutting forces
• 11° clearance angle for stable chip control
• Cylindrical hole with single-sided countersink 40°–60°

Consistent compatibility reduces setup time and tooling costs

The ISO designation and standardised geometry ensure straightforward interchangeability between holders and inserts. Because compatibility depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness, the ISO conformity of this insert simplifies inventory and reduces machine downtime. Choosing an ISO-standard insert avoids bespoke adaptations and speeds up changeovers, which improves machine utilisation and supports predictable production planning.

Clean surfaces and low forces thanks to the TH10 uncoated grade

The TH10 grade is an uncoated cemented-carbide formulation optimised for non-ferrous workpieces and applications where a sharp cutting edge yields lower cutting forces. Lower forces result in reduced tendency for built-up edge and finer surface quality on delicate components. Combined with the insert’s single-sided chipbreaker, the geometry helps produce consistent chips and reduces secondary finishing. For shops working with aluminium alloys and similar materials, this yields shorter cycle times and less scrap.

Robust geometry and secure fastening for reliable turning results

The insert’s rhombic 04 shape and 1.59 mm thickness provide a stable support area in the cutter pocket, while the 11° clearance angle helps control flank contact and wear. The cylindrical hole with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°) facilitates secure clamping and repeatable seating in compatible holders. With an approach angle of 75°, the cutting forces are distributed to favour stable cutting in both external and internal turning. These geometric choices promote predictable tool life and repeatable part quality when matched to the correct holder and operating parameters.

Practical system approach for efficient tool management

An ISO indexable insert functions as part of a system: the insert, the corresponding external holder or boring bar, the support shim or clamp kit, and spare screws. Selecting the right chipbreaker and the TH10 grade according to workpiece material and machining conditions ensures efficient chip control and consistent results. Clear identification (ISO designation and manufacturer SKU) enables rapid reordering and reduces the risk of assembly errors on the shop floor, supporting lean tool management and traceability.

FAQ

What materials is the insert suitable for?
The EPGT040100 TH10 indexable insert is designed primarily for non-ferrous materials and applications where a sharp, uncoated edge gives the best surface finish.

Is the cutting edge coated?
No, this insert uses an uncoated cemented-carbide grade (TH10) to deliver low cutting forces and clean cut surfaces.

How is the insert secured in the holder?
Clamping is via a cylindrical hole with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°); compatibility with a holder depends on the insert form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness.

Which operations are typical for this insert?
Typical applications include external and internal turning, where the rhombic 04 geometry and single-sided chipbreaker support predictable chip control and surface quality.

What are the key dimensions and designation for ordering?
Designation: EPGT040100; Size: 04; Thickness: 1.59 mm; Clearance: 11°; SKU: 6829478-Tungaloy
