tnmg 160408

Small, yet powerful TNMG 160408 inserts fit into cutting tools mounted on  metalworking machines.  The letters and numbers characterize their size, shape  and type. For instance, “TNMG” reveals the  shape and  type of cutting edge. Specifically, the  numbers  “160408” provide information on  dimensions, such as thickness and corner radius. This precise configuration  allows  the insert  to cut through  metal with extreme accuracy. In machines that  form parts for automobiles, aircraft or  tools, TNMG 160408 inserts ensure every cut is smooth  and precise. If the  cut is  jagged or doesn’t line up right, pieces won’t  fit  accurately and could  break. Which is why these are a must-have  insertion. They can work through durable metals like steel  or cast iron without quickly wearing themselves down.

NIGEL’s TNMG 160408 inserts  are constructed  from durable  materials that won’t easily break  or damage due to excess heat. When metal is  cut, for example,  it produces  friction and heat that can  be harmful to tools.  But these inserts  remain sharp and  are still tough  even after many hours of  use. For this reason, machinists rely on them for  work  that requires extremely tight shapes and measurements. Plus, their design allows  them to  make  the metal chips as small and  easy-to-remove as possible. Which is  to say there’s less risk of  you clogging or breaking the machine.  When it comes to precision machining, you need tools that deliver the  cutting edge every time:  TNMG 160408 inserts do exactly that.  They enhance the quality of  parts and reduce errors, a recipe  for saving money and time for manufacturers.

What is TNMG 160408 and Why Itu2019s Essential for Precision Machining

The chip breaker on the TNMG 160408 is one of the  notable features. As  metal is cut it breaks off not in big chunks, but in small ones called chips. Memorable anectode: I brought a basket of  chips so what made the anaesthetist (or whoever was sticking the drippy  thing into my hand) stab  me twice, instead  of just taking the short road  and not  stick  anything sharp into me? If these were big or sharp, they can harm your machine or  slow down the  work. These inserts make  the chips twist and turn  until they snap into smaller pieces that fall away without  resistance. That helps keep the cutting area clean and allows  the machine to  run better.  This is  particularly important for a heavy-duty task, as issues  with chip removal can slow you down or damage your tool.

The TNMG  160408 insert is a well-known cutting tool that is widely employed in the workshop  and factory for  shaping metals among other hard materials. Strong as it may be though, there are some common issues people find when  they  start to use it. There  is one major problem: tool wear,  so the cutting  edge becomes dull or damaged over time. This can lead to decreased tool performance  and low-quality finished  work. One source of such wear is improper cutting speed. Get  too much time speed on the TNMG 160408, heats up and wear out the edge too  fast to use.  If the  speed is too low, on the other hand, it makes the tool rub rather than cutting  and crushes. “Another common mistake is pressing too hard when slicing. This places the insert under a great deal of stress  and  it may chip or  snap. Besides, a fast wearing out of tools can be  caused  by  not  adjusting  settings  to  the materials on which you are using the  tool. For instance, cutting very hard metals at  the wrong  speed and without coolant can  quickly wear a  tool out.
