Product Introduction
TNMA insert is a triangular 60° angle without chipbreaker specially designed for hard material machining, mainly used in cast iron machining, with good triangular stability, the negative type insert can effectively utilise 6 cutting edges, economical and efficient.
TNMA insert Specification
TNMA Designation
- T: Triangular shape.
- N: Negative rake angle (provides stronger cutting edge).
- M: Tolerance class (indicates precision of inscribed circle and thickness). Typically +/- 0.13mm.
- A: With cylindrical hole, without chipbreaker.
Common TNMA Dimensions
Similar to TCMT inserts, TNMA inserts use numbers to signify size:
TNMA 33X:
- Inscribed Circle (IC): 0.375″ (3/8″)
- Thickness: 0.125″ (1/8″)
- X represents nose radius in sixteenths of an inch (e.g., 1 = 1/32″)
TNMA 43X:
- Inscribed Circle (IC): 0.5″ (1/2″)
- Thickness: 0.188″ (3/16″)
- X represents nose radius
