TNMG160404 KS05F — Tungaloy indexable turning insert (60°, 0.4 mm radius)

A TNMG160404 KS05F is an ISO-standard triangular indexable insert designed for external and internal turning; compatibility depends on holder form, relief angle, tolerance class, attachment method, size and thickness

• ISO triangular 60° insert
• Carbide grade KS05F, wear-resistant
• 0.4 mm corner radius for versatile turning
• Double-sided chipbreaker with cylindrical hole

Consistent cutting performance for high-volume turning

The combination of a cemented carbide substrate and the KS05F grade delivers a balance of wear resistance and edge stability that supports longer tool life and fewer changeovers. The 60° triangle geometry, paired with a 0.4 mm corner radius, provides a predictable cutting edge for a range of turning operations. For production environments this results in reduced downtime and steadier component tolerances, since the insert maintains cutting integrity under fluctuating cutting forces and moderate feed rates.

Fast, reliable integration into ISO toolholder systems

Designed as an ISO-compliant insert, this triangular component fits standard external holders and boring bars when matched for form, relief angle and thickness. The presence of a cylindrical hole and the specified tolerance class simplifies secure clamping and repeatable positioning. Using compatible holders and the correct clamping set reduces setup time and helps to maintain concentricity, which is critical for turning operations that demand consistent surface finish and dimensional accuracy.

Geometry and chip control that lower machining costs

The double-sided chipbreaker geometry provides effective chip control for typical turning tasks; the insert’s reversibility halves tooling expenditure per indexable edge compared with single-sided types. The modest corner radius supports both finishing and light roughing, offering a compromise between edge strength and fine surface quality. Choosing the appropriate chipbreaker and grade according to workpiece stability and machining parameters optimises process efficiency and extends the effective life of each insert.

Practical application advice and safety considerations

Selection of the correct insert grade and chipbreaker should follow an analysis of the workpiece material, machining rigidity and desired surface finish. The insert is intended for turning tasks and forms part of a system comprising an ISO insert, a matching external holder or boring bar, a shim/clamp set and replacement screws. Handling and storage of carbide inserts require care to prevent edge damage; damaged inserts should be replaced to avoid compromised component quality or toolholder damage.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The TNMG160404 KS05F insert is specified for general turning tasks; the KS05F grade complements the geometry to provide a balance of wear resistance and toughness suitable for a broad range of workpiece materials when the correct chipbreaker is chosen.

How does the 0.4 mm corner radius affect machining results?
A 0.4 mm corner radius increases edge strength compared with finer radii, improving robustness for light roughing while still permitting acceptable surface finish in finishing passes with appropriate feeds.

Can the insert be indexed to use multiple cutting edges?
Yes, the triangular shape and double-sided chipbreaker allow indexing to spare edges, effectively doubling the number of usable cutting corners and improving cost efficiency per edge.

What must be checked to ensure holder compatibility?
Compatibility requires matching the insert form, relief angle, tolerance class, attachment method, size (16 mm) and thickness (4.76 mm) to the selected external holder or boring bar, plus the correct shim or clamping set and screws.
