TNMG160404 AH120 — Turning insert TNMG 160404 AH120 by Tungaloy

TNMG160404 AH120 is an ISO‑standard turning insert designed for external and internal turning with a PVD‑coated carbide grade for stable, sharp cutting edges

• ISO‑standard TNMG 160404 geometry
• PVD-coated AH120 carbide grade
• Double-sided chipbreaker for consistency
• Triangular insert with 0.4 mm corner radius

High process stability through advanced grade and coating

The combination of a PVD‑coating and the AH120 carbide grade delivers a balance of wear resistance and edge stability that supports repeatable turning operations. The coating reduces adhesion and thermal wear at the cutting edge, which helps maintain a sharp cutting edge over longer tool life. The 0° clearance geometry and the specified corner radius work together to keep cutting forces predictable, so machining cycles remain consistent even when process windows are tight.

Fast integration and secure clamping for efficient setup

The ISO‑standard TNMG geometry and the triangular shape enable direct compatibility with a wide range of external holders and boring bars, reducing setup time and tooling complexity. The insert’s cylindrical hole and standard thickness provide reliable clamping and repeatable positioning in the seat, which lowers the risk of misalignment and downtime. These design factors translate into faster tool changes and fewer adjustment cycles on the shop floor.

Controlled chip formation and application versatility

A double-sided chipbreaker designed for turning ensures predictable chip flow and helps achieve a consistent surface finish with fewer interruptions for chip clearing. The 0.4 mm corner radius supports fine finishing passes while still allowing for stable roughing when the process requires it. This insert is recommended where a sharp edge and high process security are demanded, making it suitable for precision turning tasks that prioritise surface quality and reproducibility.
