Tungaloy TNGG160404R-P TH10 Turning Insert
Uncoated Micrograin TH10 | Precision -P Chipbreaker | 0.4mm Right-Hand Radius
How do I achieve a mirror finish on aluminum and non-ferrous parts?
The Tungaloy TNGG160404R-P TH10 is a high-precision right-hand uncoated carbide insert specifically engineered for the fine finishing of non-ferrous metals, including aluminum alloys, brass, and copper. Utilizing the premium TH10 micrograin grade, this insert provides an exceptionally sharp cutting edge that minimizes built-up edge (BUE) and burr formation. The 0.4mm corner radius (04) combined with the -P precision chipbreaker ensures high surface integrity and precise chip evacuation. 100% Made in Japan, it is the professional choice for CNC high-speed turning where Ra values are critical.
TH10 Sharp Micrograin
An uncoated grade known for its extreme sharpness and wear resistance. It prevents smearing on gummy materials like soft aluminum and copper alloys.
-P Precision Breaker
Optimized for light loads and thin finishing passes. The -P geometry ensures chips are broken cleanly even at very shallow depths of cut.
Fully Ground Edge
G-Class tolerance periphery offers superior repeatability. This minimizes variation during tool changes in automated production environments.

*B2B Pro-Tip: TH10 is an uncoated micrograin carbide. For aluminum machining, use high cutting speeds and abundant coolant to maintain a mirror surface and prevent chip welding.*
4. Primary Applications
- Fine finishing of Aluminum and Aluminum alloys.
- Machining of non-ferrous metals (Brass, Bronze, Copper).
- Turning of engineering plastics and acrylics.
- Ideal for thin-walled parts requiring low cutting forces.
5. Tool Compatibility
Standard TN** 1604 interface. Pairs with WTJNR or MTJNR Right-hand external holders and S-WTJNR internal boring bars.

8. FAQ - Professional Support
Q: Can I use TH10 on Stainless Steel?
A: We do not recommend TH10 for steel or stainless. It is an uncoated grade for non-ferrous metals. For stainless finishing, please use GH330 or GH110 coated grades.
Q: Does this work in a Left-hand holder?
A: No. This is a Right-hand (R) insert. It must be paired with a Right-hand tool holder (WTJNR) to ensure correct geometry and chipbreaker function.
Tech Tip: Achieving High Surface Integrity
For the highest surface gloss with **TH10**, maintain a sharp cutting edge and use a light feed rate. **Tungaloy Japan** - Excellence in micrograin carbide technology.
