TCGT 16T308 KS05F indexable turning insert by Tungaloy — triangular, 0.8 mm radius, ISO standard

The TCGT 16T308 KS05F is an ISO-standard triangular indexable turning insert designed for external and internal turning operations where a balance of wear resistance and edge stability is required.

• ISO triangular insert for turning
• Tungaloy KS05F grade for wear resistance
• 0.8 mm corner radius, 7° clearance angle
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

Consistent machining through a specialised grade and material

The Tungaloy KS05F grade, applied to a carbide substrate, delivers a focused mix of wear resistance and edge stability. This composition reduces unexpected flaking and maintains cutting-edge geometry over longer tool life, which results in fewer index changes and more consistent part quality. The result is a pragmatic improvement in process reliability and predictable productivity for turning operations, particularly where repeatability and surface finish matter.

Rapid tool changes and secure clamping for reduced downtime

Built to the ISO plate family, the triangular geometry and the specified cylindrical hole with a 40°–60° countersink ensure secure seating and repeatable clamping in matching toolholders. The 7° clearance angle and the plate thickness (3.97 mm) contribute to stable engagement and reduced chatter under typical turning feeds. The availability of three indexed cutting edges per insert and the standardised dimensions ease inventory management and allow faster changeovers, cutting non-productive time in the workshop.

Versatile turning performance tailored by geometry

The insert’s 0.8 mm corner radius and its single-sided chipbreaker make it suitable for a range of turning tasks where a small radius is preferred for edge strength without compromising profile detail. The triangular form provides a compact cutting face and, combined with the KS05F chemistry, supports dependable results on routine turning applications. Selection of an appropriate holder and matching chipbreaker will fine-tune chip control and optimise the balance between surface finish and tool life.

FAQ

What is the primary advantage of the KS05F grade?
The KS05F grade used on the TCGT16T308 KS05F provides a balance of wear resistance and edge stability, extending effective cutting life while maintaining consistent performance.

Which machining operations suit this insert?
This triangular indexable insert is intended for external and internal turning where the geometry and grade support repeatable cutting and good surface finish.

How does the hole and countersink affect clamping?
The cylindrical hole with a 40°–60° countersink ensures a secure and repeatable seat in compatible holders, improving clamping stability and reducing tool movement during cuts.

Can the 0.8 mm corner radius be used for finishing passes?
A 0.8 mm corner radius offers a compromise between edge strength and finish; it is appropriate for many finishing and profile turning tasks, depending on the desired surface quality.

Is this insert compatible with all ISO turning holders?
Compatibility depends on matching the ISO form, clearance angle, tolerance class, mounting method, size and thickness of the insert to the chosen holder; the insert conforms to ISO dimensions for simplified selection.
