TPGN 160308 LX10 turning insert — Tungaloy carbide, ISO TPGN series

TPGN160308 LX10 is an ISO‑standard indexable turning insert designed for general turning tasks, offering a balance of wear resistance and edge stability for industrial machining.

• ISO triangular insert TPGN160308 LX10
• Carbide construction for robust cutting edges
• 11° relief angle for versatile turning
• Suitable for external and internal turning

Consistent performance through an optimised grade

The LX10 grade, supplied by Tungaloy and applied to a carbide body, is formulated to deliver wear resistance and maintain a stable cutting edge under cyclic loads. This raises process reliability in series production by reducing unexpected tool changes and improving repeatability. The insert’s triangular geometry and defined corner radius of 0.8 mm contribute to predictable chip formation and dimensional control during conventional and finishing passes, which supports higher machine uptime and consistent component quality.

Practical compatibility and handling for workshop use

Built to ISO standards, the insert fits holders that match form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness. The nominal 11° relief angle and 3.18 mm plate thickness provide a balance between stiffness and edge access, enabling secure clamping and resistance to bending in off‑centre or extended overhang setups. Because the system is modular, the insert integrates into common holder families and replacement is straightforward, reducing set‑up time and simplifying inventory management for production environments.

Clear selection criteria and machining benefits

Selecting this insert focuses on two parameters: the LX10 grade for expected wear behaviour and the insert geometry for the required surface finish and stability. The 0.8 mm corner radius supports medium‑duty finishing and general turning, while the 60° included angle gives strength at the cutting edge for interrupted cuts. Where higher toughness or different chip control are needed, choosing an alternate grade or a chipbreaker geometry adapts the performance without changing the holder. The result is a predictable, cost‑effective solution that contributes to efficient metal removal and reliable workpiece quality.

FAQ

What machining tasks suit this insert? The TPGN160308 LX10 turning insert is designed for external and internal turning operations where a balance of wear resistance and edge stability is required.

How does the LX10 grade affect tool life? The LX10 grade enhances wear resistance and edge stability on the carbide substrate, which typically extends service life under standard turning conditions compared with unoptimised grades.

Which holders are compatible with this insert? Compatibility depends on holder form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening and size; an ISO‑compliant TPGN holder that matches the 16 mm size and 3.18 mm thickness is required.

Is there a chipbreaker on this insert? This variant is supplied without a chipbreaker; chip control should be achieved via cutting parameters, holder geometry or an alternative insert style if necessary.

What corner radius and relief angle should be selected for finishing? The 0.8 mm corner radius and 11° relief angle of this insert suit medium finishing; for finer surface requirements a smaller radius or different grade may be preferable.
