Cargo Carbide TNMG TM CO05S Carbide Turning Inserts are designed for CNC turning and general steel machining applications where dependable cutting performance, edge strength and consistent tool life are required.
The TNMG 160404, TNMG 160408 and TNMG 160412 sizes provide different nose-radius options for a range of roughing, semi-finishing and general turning requirements. The negative triangular TNMG geometry offers multiple usable cutting edges and is widely used with compatible CNC turning tool holders.
The CO05S grade is a yellow carbide grade intended for steel machining, heavy roughing and semi-finishing of steel forgings and general engineering components. It is suitable for production machining applications where a strong and reliable cutting edge is required.
Cargo Carbide TNMG TM CO05S inserts can be selected according to the required nose radius, machining condition, material and cutting parameters.

TNMG 160408 CO05S is a carbide turning insert designed for CNC machining of steel. It is suitable for general turning and semi-finishing applications, depending on the machining conditions.
The main difference is the nose radius. TNMG 160404 has a 0.4 mm radius, TNMG 160408 has a 0.8 mm radius, and TNMG 160412 has a 1.2 mm radius. The appropriate size depends on the required surface finish, cutting conditions and machining operation.
According to the Cargo Carbide grade chart, CO05S is intended for steel, particularly heavy roughing and semi-finishing of steel forgings and general machining.
Yes. TNMG 160408 CO05S is intended for compatible CNC turning applications, particularly steel machining.
The choice depends on cutting conditions. 160404 is generally suited to lighter/finishing work, 160408 is a versatile general-purpose option, and 160412 is better suited to heavier cutting conditions.
