TNGN 160404 LX10 Tungaloy turning insert — ISO triangular 16 mm, 60°

TNGN160404 LX10 is an ISO‑standard triangular indexable insert designed for turning applications, intended for use in compatible external and internal machining set-ups.

• ISO triangular insert TNGN160404 LX10 by Tungaloy
• Carbide grade LX10 for wear resistance
• 60° cutting angle, 0° clearance angle
• 0.4 mm corner radius for precision finishes

Seamless ISO compatibility for standardised tooling systems

The insert belongs to the ISO series of turning indexable plates, which makes integration into established toolbanks straightforward. Compatibility with a chosen holder is determined by factors such as form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and plate thickness; these criteria ensure predictable clamping and repeatable positioning. The standardised form reduces set‑up time in serial production and simplifies inventory control across multiple machines.

Carbide grade and coating tuned for productivity

Manufactured from solid carbide and supplied in the LX10 Tungaloy grade, the insert combines wear resistance with sufficient toughness to handle varied cutting conditions. The selected grade balances flank wear control and edge stability, extending cutting life under intermittent and continuous cuts. This material choice supports economical machining by reducing index changes and tool handling, which in turn contributes to higher spindle utilisation and lower overall machining cost per component.

Geometry engineered for surface quality and tool life

The triangular shape and the specified 0.4 mm corner radius support a reliable edge for both roughing and finishing passes, helping to maintain consistent surface integrity. The 60° insert geometry provides a robust cutting edge for radial engagement, while the 0° clearance angle is suitable for a broad range of turning operations where minimal relief is required. These parameters influence chip formation and surface finish, making the insert a pragmatic option for workflows that demand predictable outcomes.

System integration and application‑focused design

The insert forms part of a complete turning system that comprises an indexable plate, matching holder, shim and fastening screw. Selection of a suitable holder and, where applicable, a shim is essential to achieve correct tool projection and rigidity. With no chipbreaker fitted, the insert is intended for applications where chip control is managed by cutting conditions or external devices; the geometry and grade make it applicable for both light finishing and more productive machining strategies in external and internal turning.

For precise, economical turning with a proven Tungaloy grade, place an order for the TNGN160404 LX10 insert through Metav Werkzeuge or contact the Metav Werkzeuge technical team for assistance with holder selection.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited to machine?
The TNGN160404 LX10 insert, made of carbide in the LX10 grade, is designed for general turning tasks where the grade’s balance of wear resistance and toughness is appropriate; selection should consider the specific workpiece material and cutting parameters.

How is holder compatibility ensured for this ISO insert?
Compatibility depends on matching the insert’s ISO form, 0° clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening style, size (16 mm) and thickness (4.76 mm) to a corresponding indexable holder and shim; correct matching secures accurate seating and repeatability.

What does the 0.4 mm corner radius deliver in practice?
A 0.4 mm corner radius provides a compromise between edge strength and surface finish, improving edge stability during interrupted cuts while maintaining acceptable finish in finishing passes.

Is a chipbreaker integrated on the insert?
This insert is supplied without a chipbreaker, which permits selection of chip control strategies at the process level or via external chip management when higher flexibility is required.

What does the ISO designation 160404 mean for tool selection?
The ISO code encodes the insert size and geometry class; for this product the designation corresponds with the triangular form, a size designation of 16 and the specific thickness and corner radius, aiding correct holder and system selection.
