Tungaloy TNGG160404L-P TH10 Turning Insert

Uncoated Micrograin TH10 | Precision -P Chipbreaker | 0.4mm Left-Hand Radius

What is the best uncoated carbide insert for aluminum and brass finishing?

The Tungaloy TNGG160404L-P TH10 is a high-precision left-hand uncoated carbide insert, specifically designed for finishing non-ferrous metals such as aluminum alloys, brass, and copper. Utilizing the TH10 micrograin grade, it provides an exceptionally sharp cutting edge and high resistance to built-up edge (BUE). The 0.4mm corner radius (04) and the -P precision chipbreaker ensure excellent surface integrity and chip evacuation in light finishing applications. 100% Made in Japan, this insert is the industrial standard for achieving a mirror-like finish on non-ferrous workpieces.

TH10 Micrograin Carbide

An uncoated grade with superior hardness and wear resistance. Its micrograin structure allows for an ultra-sharp edge, critical for cutting soft, gummy materials without burrs.

-P Finishing Geometry

Engineered for precision and light loads. The -P breaker keeps cutting forces low, preventing workpiece deformation while effectively breaking chips at low feed rates.

Precision Ground Finish

G-class tolerance periphery ensures that every insert maintains the exact same dimensions, allowing for seamless replacement without readjusting CNC offsets.

Technical Feature	Metric (ISO)	Imperial (ANSI)
Standard Model	TNGG160404L-P	TNGG 331L-P
Inscribed Circle (IC)	9.525 mm	3/8"
Thickness (S)	4.76 mm	3/16"
Corner Radius (RE)	0.4 mm	1/64"

Recommended Cutting Parameters (TH10 Uncoated)

Cutting Speed (Vc): 150 - 600 m/min (Aluminum/Brass)
Feed Rate (f): 0.05 - 0.15 mm/rev (For Mirror Finish)
Depth of Cut (ap): 0.1 - 1.0 mm

*Pro Tip: TH10 is an uncoated grade. It is not recommended for titanium or high-temp alloys where high thermal loads are present. Use high-speed machining for best aluminum surface gloss.*

4. Primary Applications

Precision finishing of high-silicon aluminum alloys.
Turning and profiling of brass, bronze, and copper parts.
Machining non-metallic materials (plastics/fiber-reinforced polymers).
Boring operations where sharp edges are required to prevent smearing.

5. Tool Compatibility

Compatible with standard TN** 1604 tool pockets. Specifically designed for WTJNL or MTJNL Left-hand external tool holders and S-WTJNL internal boring bars.

Feedback from CNC Machinists

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Mirror Finish on Aluminum" - Chris B., USA
"This TH10 grade is amazing for 6061-T6 aluminum. The edge stays sharp and we get a beautiful finish every time. No build-up issues."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Best for Fine Brass Work" - Hans W., Germany
"Original Tungaloy quality. Using the left-hand holder with this insert for intricate brass profiling. Very stable dimensions."

⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Great Chip Control" - Kenji S., Japan
"The -P chipbreaker works exactly as expected. We used to have bird-nesting on light cuts, but this insert solved it. Excellent support from Beyond."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Fast Fulfillment" - Marco D., Italy
"Ordered a bulk set for our shop. Shipping was fast and the product is 100% genuine. TH10 is the best for our non-ferrous line."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Professional Grade" - Arjun R., India
"Superior sharpness compared to cheaper alternatives. This is real Japan-made tooling that saves us time on reworking surfaces."

8. FAQ - Expert Tooling Advice

Q: Can I use TH10 on carbon steel?

A: We do not recommend TH10 for steel. It is an uncoated grade meant for non-ferrous metals. For steel finishing, please choose GH110 or GH330 coated grades.

Q: Does this work in a Right-hand tool holder?

A: No. This is a Left-hand (L) insert. You must pair it with a Left-hand (L) tool holder to ensure the geometry and chipbreaker function correctly.

Tech Tip: Uncoated Carbide Care

Since **TH10** is uncoated, it relies on its extreme sharpness to cut cleanly. Ensure high coolant pressure to wash away aluminum chips and prevent heat build-up. **Tungaloy Japan** - Precision in every cut.

Technical FAQ & Buying Guide

Are your carbide inserts interchangeable with major brands like Sandvik, Iscar, or Kennametal?

Absolutely. Our CNC carbide inserts (including CNMG, WNMG, DNMG, and APMT series) are manufactured strictly adhering to international ISO/ANSI specifications. A CNMG 120408 from OYYU BEYOND will flawlessly fit any standard turning tool holder or indexable tool from major global brands like Sandvik Coromant, Kennametal, Iscar, Walter, or SECO, providing a highly cost-effective premium alternative without sacrificing tolerance or tool life.

How do I choose the correct insert grade and chipbreaker for machining Stainless Steel (M) vs. Carbon Steel (P)?

We offer optimized CVD and PVD multi-layer coatings for different ISO material groups:

For Carbon/Alloy Steel (ISO P): Choose our thick multi-layer CVD coated grades (e.g., Al2O3 + TiN). They provide exceptional crater wear resistance and thermal barriers during high-speed dry or wet roughing.
For Stainless Steel (ISO M): Choose our nano-structured PVD coated grades with sharp, positive chipbreakers (like -TM or -MA). This combination prevents work hardening and effectively controls sticky chips.

What are the recommended cutting speed (Vc) and feed rate (f) parameters to maximize tool life?

The optimal cutting parameters vary depending on the workpiece hardness and operation type:

For General Steel Turnings: Recommended cutting speed ($V_c$) ranges from 150 to 280 m/min, with a feed rate ($f$) of 0.15 to 0.45 mm/rev.
For Stainless Steel Finishing: Recommended cutting speed ($V_c$) is 120 to 200 m/min, with a feed rate ($f$) of 0.10 to 0.25 mm/rev.Always adjust parameters based on early wear patterns: increase $V_c$ if built-up edge occurs, or reduce $V_c$ if severe flank wear is observed.

Do you offer bulk discounts or wholesale pricing for machine shops and distributors?

Yes, we support machine shops, distributors, and global buyers with tiered wholesale pricing and competitive volume discounts. We also provide OEM custom manufacturing solutions for tool holders and carbide inserts based on your technical drawings. Contact our team to request a quick B2B quotation.
