TNGA160402 LX10 Tungaloy indexable insert — ISO triangular turning insert, 60°

A TNGA160402 LX10 indexable insert designed for external and internal turning in ISO toolholder systems.

• ISO triangular insert, 60° geometry
• LX10 Tungaloy carbide grade for wear resistance
• 0.2 mm corner radius for precise turning
• Central cylindrical hole for secure clamping

Consistent machining from ISO triangular geometry

The ISO TNGA form delivers a proven triangular profile that combines rigidity with access to multiple cutting edges. The 60° geometry provides a stable cutting angle that is suitable for a wide range of external and internal turning tasks, while the small 0.2 mm corner radius helps to generate consistent surface finishes on light and medium cuts. In practice, the form is selected to match the workpiece and holder: compatibility with the toolholder is determined by shape, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness, which ensures predictable performance when fitted to a correctly specified holder.

Extended tool life through the LX10 carbide grade

The insert is supplied in Tungaloy’s LX10 carbide grade, a material choice optimised for a balance of hardness and toughness. This carbide composition is aimed at improving wear resistance and maintaining edge stability under varied cutting conditions, reducing the frequency of index changes and interruptions in production. For users unfamiliar with grades: LX10 represents a vendor‑defined cutting material selection tuned to general turning applications, offering broad material coverage and reliable performance across steels and common alloys.

Secure clamping and straightforward compatibility

A central cylindrical hole (with cylindrical fit) simplifies fixture design and ensures reliable seating in compatible clamping systems. Because the insert is ISO‑standardised, holders that accept TNGA‑style plates will accommodate this item provided the holder matches the insert’s dimensions and tolerance class. The insert’s relief angle is 0°, which should be noted when selecting the mating toolholder and approach geometry; correct pairing prevents unintended rubbing and preserves the cutting edge during medium‑duty turning cycles.

Production advantages and practical workshop benefits

Using a standardised ISO insert such as this reduces tool inventory complexity and facilitates quick changeovers; a triangular insert offers three usable cutting edges, supporting economical use of each plate. The absence of an integrated chipbreaker on this grade allows the choice of chip control to be adapted via machining parameters or by selecting a holder with a matching chip control feature. Overall, the combination of ISO conformity, LX10 material properties and a compact 0.2 mm corner radius supports steady cycle times, repeatable workpiece quality and lower tool management overhead in everyday turning applications.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The TNGA160402 LX10 insert is supplied in Tungaloy LX10 carbide and is intended for a broad range of turning applications, offering good performance across steels and common alloys.

How is the insert clamped in the holder?
The plate features a central cylindrical hole for secure clamping; a matching ISO TNGA holder with the correct tolerance class and fastening arrangement is required for proper seating.

What does the 0° relief angle mean for setup?
A 0° relief angle indicates minimal clearance behind the cutting edge; holders and approach geometry must be selected to avoid rubbing and to maintain the insert’s cutting performance.

Is a chipbreaker included on the insert?
This TNGA160402 LX10 insert is supplied without an integrated chipbreaker, allowing chip control to be managed by the holder design or by adjusting cutting parameters.

Can the insert be used for internal turning as well as external turning?
Yes, the ISO triangular geometry and the insert’s dimensions make it suitable for both external and internal turning when paired with an appropriate holder and setup.
