WNMA 060412 T515 Turning Insert (trigon, 80°) — Tungaloy

The WNMA060412 T515 is an ISO‑standard trigon turning insert engineered for economical external and internal turning of cast iron, offering a robust 1.2 mm corner radius and a CVD coating for extended tool life.

• CVD‑coated carbide grade T515
• Designed for economical cast‑iron machining
• Trigon shape with 80° cutting geometry
• 1.2 mm corner radius for robust cutting edge

Reliable performance for cast‑iron turning

The CVD‑coated carbide composition in this indexable insert provides a balanced combination of wear resistance and toughness, making it well suited to the economical machining of cast iron. The T515 grade is selected for jobs where stable chip formation and productive material removal are required; this results in longer intervals between insert changes and predictable tool life. Compatibility with ISO holders ensures straightforward integration into existing turning tool systems.

Precision geometry that supports consistent results

The trigon design with an 80° cutting geometry and a 1.2 mm corner radius contributes to a strong cutting edge that tolerates interruptions and varying workpiece stability. A relief angle of 0° and the presence of a cylindrical mounting hole allow reliable clamping and repeatable positioning in standard external holders or boring bars. These geometric choices reduce the likelihood of vibration‑related edge wear, improving repeatability and surface finish during external and internal turning operations.

System-level considerations and practical benefits

Integration of the insert into a complete turning system involves the insert, a compatible external holder or boring bar, a clamping shim and fastening screws; correct selection is determined by form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening style, size and thickness. The WNMA060412 T515 offers an economical route to productive chip control without a dedicated chipbreaker, so machining parameters should be chosen to suit the workpiece stability. Clear specification and ISO conformity simplify procurement, stocking and process planning for production environments.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The WNMA060412 T515 turning insert is optimised for the economical machining of cast iron; the CVD‑coated carbide grade T515 is chosen to balance wear resistance and productivity.

Is the insert ISO‑compatible with standard holders?
Yes, the insert follows ISO dimensions (060412) and is compatible with holders when form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening and size match the holder specifications.

Does this insert include a chipbreaker?
This grade and geometry are supplied without a dedicated chipbreaker; chip formation depends on cutting parameters and workpiece stability.

What is the corner radius and how does it affect machining?
The corner radius is 1.2 mm, which provides a robust cutting edge that improves edge strength and helps absorb intermittent cuts, supporting stable surface finish.

Which coating and grade are used and what benefit do they provide?
The insert uses a CVD coating on a carbide substrate, grade T515, delivering enhanced wear resistance suitable for high‑productivity cast‑iron turning applications.
