TPGN 160304 LX10 – ISO triangular turning insert by Tungaloy, 0.4 mm nose radius, 60°

A TPGN160304 LX10 indexable insert designed for ISO-standard turning applications, optimised for external and internal turning where a balance of wear resistance and edge stability is required

• ISO-standard triangular insert
• LX10 grade for wear resistance
• 0.4 mm nose radius for fine profiles
• Compatible with standard clamping systems

Consistent cutting geometry for reliable turning performance

The triangular, ISO‑compliant geometry provides a stable cutting platform with an included angle of 60° and a 0.4 mm nose radius, enabling precise profile generation and predictable engagement in both roughing and finishing passes. The insert's form and dimensions support repeatable results when paired with an appropriate holder and clamping set, which is critical for maintaining process stability and reducing inspection effort. This stability contributes to shorter setup times and more consistent component tolerances in serial machining.

Material grade and edge behaviour that match application demands

The LX10 Tungaloy grade is a carbide-based cutting material formulated to complement the insert geometry by offering enhanced wear resistance and improved edge stability. These properties mean a lower rate of flank wear under comparable cutting conditions, translating into longer effective tool life and fewer indexings per workpiece series. For operations where tool longevity and reproducible surface quality matter, the combination of geometry and grade supports productive machining with reduced intervention.

Clear compatibility and mount selection guidance

Compatibility with toolholders is defined by insert form, relief angle (11°), tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness; the insert thickness is 3.18 mm and the inscribed circle measures 16 mm, with the plate supplied without a hole and without a chipbreaker. Choosing a holder that matches these parameters ensures secure clamping and correct rake/relief orientation, which preserves the cutting edge and prevents premature failure. For applications that require specific chip control, select a matched insert geometry or holder solution, since this insert does not include an integrated chipbreaker.

Practical benefits for workshop productivity

By pairing ISO interchangeability with a purpose‑tuned carbide grade, the insert supports flexible production planning and faster tool changeovers. The standardised form enables rapid replacement and simplified tool inventory management, while the LX10 grade’s balance of toughness and hardness contributes to consistent part quality across shifts. Where process predictability and reduced tool handling are priorities, this insert provides a robust option for general turning tasks.
