TNGA 160416 LX10 indexable turning insert — 60° triangular, Tungaloy

The TNGA160416 LX10 is a triangular ISO indexable insert designed for external and internal turning, delivering a balance of wear resistance and edge stability for a wide range of lathe operations.

• ISO 60° triangular geometry
• Tungaloy LX10 carbide grade
• Corner radius R1.6 mm
• Cylindrical hole for secure clamping

Improved productivity through optimised cutting performance

The LX10 grade, produced by Tungaloy, combines carbide substrate properties with a formulation geared to deliver stable cutting-edge performance. This results in enhanced wear resistance and consistent tool life, which lowers the frequency of insert changes and reduces unscheduled downtime. For production environments that prioritise throughput and repeatability, the engineering of this grade supports higher workpiece counts before regrinding or replacement is necessary. The geometry and edge quality contribute directly to consistent cycle times and reliable surface finish.

Reliable fitment and precise engagement with ISO tooling

Manufactured to ISO dimensions, the insert’s 60° included angle and triangular profile ensure compatibility with standard 60° turning toolholders. The cylindrical hole and matching clamping interfaces permit secure fixation in the holder, reducing micro‑movement under cutting forces. With a plate thickness of 4.76 mm and a nominal size of 16 mm, the component integrates seamlessly into typical indexable systems; this reduces setup time and simplifies inventory management for mixed-production shops that rely on ISO tooling standards.

Balanced edge geometry for controlled cutting behaviour

The modest corner radius (R1.6) offers a compromise between edge strength and the ability to achieve fine surface finishes. A larger radius supports higher feed rates and improved edge durability, while the chosen value here retains good cutting control for semi-finishing passes. The insert is supplied without a chipbreaker, permitting selection of the most suitable chip control strategy for the workpiece material and machining conditions. This flexibility allows process engineers to tune feed and depth of cut for maximum economy or for the highest achievable surface quality.

Practical handling and system-level advantages on the shop floor

As part of an ISO turning insert system, the component is intended to be used with a matching external holder or boring bar, plus the appropriate clamping kit and replacement fastening screws. The triangular shape provides three usable cutting edges per index, improving cost-efficiency per edge compared with single-edge tools. The LX10 formulation complements the mechanical design by combining toughness and wear resistance, helping to maintain process stability across varied turning tasks and to reduce the need for frequent insert inventory changes.

FAQ

What toolholders are compatible with this insert?
The TNGA160416 LX10 insert is designed to fit ISO 60° triangular holders and standard external turning toolholders that accept a 16 mm triangular insert and a cylindrical hole clamping system.

Can this insert be used for both external and internal turning?
Yes, the insert is intended for both external and internal turning applications when mounted in the appropriate holder or boring bar; selection of the holder and cutting parameters influences performance.

What is the advantage of the LX10 grade?
The LX10 grade provides a balance of wear resistance and toughness, offering extended life under typical turning conditions and stabilised cutting-edge behaviour for repeatable results.

Is a chipbreaker included on the insert?
This designation is supplied without a chipbreaker, allowing the process engineer to choose a chip control solution matched to the workpiece material and machining strategy.

How many cutting edges are available per insert?
The triangular geometry offers three indexed cutting edges per insert, improving the cost-efficiency of the insert package.
