TNGN160408 LX10 Tungaloy indexable insert for turning — triangular, 0.8 mm radius

The TNGN160408 LX10 Tungaloy indexable insert is an ISO-standard triangular turning insert designed for reliable external and internal turning operations in a range of workpiece materials.

• ISO-compliant triangular geometry
• LX10 carbide grade for wear resistance
• 0.8 mm corner radius for versatile cutting
• 0° relief angle for positive engagement

Consistent cutting performance for productive turning

The triangular indexable insert delivers measurable improvements in tool life and process stability thanks to its LX10 carbide formulation and proven geometry. As an ISO-compatible turning insert, the design ensures even load distribution across successive indexed edges, reducing vibration and maintaining surface finish. The combination of a compact triangular shape and a 0.8 mm radius supports both light finishing passes and moderate roughing, enabling longer uninterrupted cycles and fewer tool changes, which contributes to lower overall machining costs and higher throughput.

Simple integration with ISO tool systems and fast changeover

Compatibility is a practical advantage: the insert follows ISO dimensions so the match to standard holders depends only on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, clamping and thickness. The TNGN160408 LX10 insert fits into common triangular external holders or boring bars without additional adapters when the holder specification matches the ISO code, which reduces set-up time and keeps tool inventories manageable. The 0° relief geometry provides a positive engagement that simplifies seating and repeatability during indexing, improving first-run accuracy in batch production.

Durable edge life and predictable process security

The carbide substrate and LX10 grade are balanced for wear resistance and edge stability, making the insert suited to a broad range of turning tasks. For customers new to grades: LX10 denotes a cutting material tuned to resist abrasion while retaining sufficient toughness to avoid premature chipping. This results in a predictable tool wear curve and steady surface quality over longer tool life. Where process reliability and reproducible results are required, the insert’s combination of material and geometry supports consistent performance and easier process planning, particularly in mixed-production environments.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for external and internal turning?
Yes. The TNGN160408 LX10 insert is designed for both external and internal turning when used with the appropriate ISO-compatible holder.

Which materials can be machined with this grade?
The LX10 grade is a wear-resistant carbide suited to a broad range of steels and common engineering materials; selection of chipbreaker and machining parameters should match the workpiece material.

How does the triangular form affect productivity?
The triangular shape provides three indexable cutting edges, increasing the number of usable edges per insert and reducing tool change frequency, which improves uptime.

What should be checked when pairing the insert with a holder?
Match form, free angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness of the insert to the holder specification to ensure correct seating and secure clamping.

Can the corner radius be used for finishing?
Yes. The 0.8 mm corner radius is versatile and can be used for fine finishing passes as well as moderate roughing operations depending on cutting conditions.
