These TNMG1604‑MA turning inserts are engineered for high‑efficiency CNC turning and general lathe work. The “TNMG” designation means they are 60‑degree triangular inserts with a negative rake angle and multiple cutting edges. They are available in two nose radii:
TNMG160404‑MA: inscribed circle Ø 16 mm (0.63"), thickness = 4.76 mm (0.188"), nose radius = 0.4 mm (0.016"); ideal for fine finishing cuts.
TNMG160408‑MA: same inscribed circle and thickness but nose radius = 0.8 mm (0.031"); better for medium roughing and semi‑finishing.
Grade Information:
US6020: A CVD‑coated grade with a tough carbide substrate, recommended for finishing and semi‑finishing of steel and alloy steel. Provides superior wear resistance and thermal stability at high speeds.
UE735: A versatile grade formulated for stainless steels and difficult‑to‑machine alloys. Combines a robust carbide base with a TiCN/Al₂O₃/TiN multilayer coating to resist chipping and edge build‑up.
