TNMG 160404 Carbide Turning Insert | Carbide Express

TNMG 160404 Carbide Turning Insert

The Carbide Express TNMG 160404 is a negative-style carbide turning insert designed for CNC lathes and turning centres. It features a 60° triangular geometry with a 0.4 mm nose radius, making it suitable for precision turning, profiling, facing and general machining applications.

The 0.4 mm nose radius is well suited to applications where a smaller cutting radius is preferred for lighter cuts and finishing operations. Actual performance depends on the selected carbide grade, coating, workpiece material, tool holder and machining parameters.
