EPGT 040104 TH10 Wendeplatten - Tungaloy

The combination of ISO‑standard geometry, a sharp TH10 uncoated carbide grade and a 0.4 mm corner radius delivers low cutting forces and consistent surface quality in turning operations; order the insert directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult the technical team for compatibility and supply.

EPGT 040104 TH10 – ISO turning indexable insert, uncoated carbide by Tungaloy

EPGT 040104 TH10 is an ISO‑compatible indexable insert for turning, designed for external and internal operations where low cutting forces and clean surfaces are required

• ISO‑standard rhombic 04 geometry
• Uncoated carbide grade TH10
• 0.4 mm corner radius for fine finishes
• Cylindrical hole with single‑side countersink

High process reliability through standardised geometry

The insert is manufactured to ISO‑standard dimensions with a rhombic 04 form, ensuring predictable seating and repeatable clamping. This standardisation reduces set‑up time and minimises the risk of misalignment when changing inserts, so a stable process can be maintained across different holders. The result is a measurable improvement in cycle reliability and less downtime for re‑fixturing.

Optimised cutting behaviour for non‑ferrous materials

With an uncoated carbide composition and the TH10 sharp universal grade, the design promotes low cutting forces and a clean surface finish on non‑ferrous workpieces. The reduced tendency for built‑up edge and the inherently sharp cutting edge are particularly beneficial for machining softer alloys and mixed‑material batches, where minimal burr formation and consistent part quality are priorities.

Secure clamping and versatile seat features

The insert features a cylindrical hole with a single‑side countersink (40°–60°) combined with an 11° clearance angle and 1.59 mm thickness, giving a secure and repeatable seat in compatible holders. The geometry supports stable contact under varying cutting forces and simplifies replacement, thereby lowering tool change time and supporting higher machine utilisation.

Practical handling and application advice

A 0.4 mm corner radius balances edge strength with the capability to produce fine surface finishes; it is well suited to finishing and light to medium turning tasks. The component is intended for use in ISO‑standard turning assemblies, comprising a matching external holder or boring bar, appropriate shim/clamp set and fastening screws.

FAQ

Which materials are best machined with the EPGT 040104 TH10 insert?
The EPGT 040104 TH10 insert is optimised for non‑ferrous materials and applications that benefit from a sharp, uncoated cutting edge; the TH10 grade supports low cutting forces and clean surfaces.

Is the insert compatible with standard ISO turning holders?
Yes, the insert follows ISO dimensions for the rhombic 04 form and is compatible with holders that match the form, clearance angle, thickness and fastening style specified for the insert.

What is the purpose of the single‑side countersink on the hole?
The cylindrical hole with a single‑side countersink (40°–60°) provides a defined seating face for positive locating and repeatable clamping, improving stability during turning cuts.

Can the EPGT 040104 TH10 be used for roughing operations?
The insert’s sharp uncoated edge and 0.4 mm radius are primarily intended for finishing and light to medium turns; for heavy roughing, a larger radius or a coated grade might be preferable.

How does the uncoated carbide behave regarding built‑up edge?
The uncoated carbide TH10 reduces cutting forces and tends to produce less built‑up edge on non‑ferrous alloys, supporting better surface quality in finish operations.
