TCMT 16T308
ISO Designation: TCMT 16T308
TCMT 16T308 follows the TCMT family's positive triangular geometry, designated 16-308 under ISO 1832.
TCMT inserts use a 60° triangular positive geometry. Three usable cutting edges per face combined with a positive rake make this family a practical, economical option for light turning and finishing passes across steel, stainless steel and non-ferrous materials.
Per ISO 1832, the leading letters of this code indicate a triangular (60°) insert shape with a 7° relief angle; the remaining characters set the tolerance class, fixing style, size, thickness and corner radius.
