CNMG160612 T515 — ISO turning indexable insert for turning, Tungaloy (CVD-coated carbide, 80°)

The CNMG160612 T515 is an ISO‑standard rhombic indexable insert engineered for efficient external and internal turning operations, optimised for cast iron applications with a robust chip control geometry.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T515
• Optimised for economical cast iron machining
• Double-sided chipbreaker for reliable chips
• Rhombic CNMG shape with 80° geometry

Maximise cutting efficiency with a grade engineered for cast iron

The CVD‑coated T515 carbide grade delivers a consistent combination of wear resistance and toughness, supporting higher cutting speeds in many cast iron turning tasks. By choosing this CVD-coated carbide insert, the operation benefits from reduced tool-change frequency and improved cycle time, translating into tangible productivity gains on the shop floor. The design emphasises process stability: stable chip formation and predictable flank wear help maintain surface finish and dimensional consistency when machining grey and nodular cast irons.

Secure clamping and geometry that support dependable tool life

The CNMG form with an 80° lead angle and a 1.2 mm corner radius provides a balanced approach between strength and versatility, giving a smooth load distribution on the cutting edge. The insert’s double-sided chipbreaker and cylindrical hole ensure secure locating and simple indexing in compatible ISO holders. For production environments where vibration or interrupted cuts occur, the geometry and thickness help sustain tool life and reduce the risk of premature edge failure, supporting a reliable machining process.

Practical selection and handling for workshop use

Compatibility with holders is determined by ISO form, relief angle and tolerance class; the insert’s 0° clearance angle and 6.35 mm thickness fit standard CNMG clamping systems. Selecting the appropriate chipbreaker and matching the T515 grade to the workpiece stability and desired cutting speed simplifies setup and reduces trial‑and‑error. Clear, measurable attributes such as corner radius and insert thickness make setup reproducible, while the CVD coating helps protect against built‑up edge and thermal wear during longer cycles.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for machining cast iron?
Yes. The CNMG160612 T515 insert features a T515 CVD‑coated carbide grade developed for economical and productive cast iron machining.

Which holder types are compatible with this insert?
Compatibility is based on the ISO CNMG form: holder fit depends on form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness as specified for the CNMG160612.

What are the insert’s key dimensions to consider at set‑up?
Key values are: 80° geometry, 1.2 mm corner radius, 6.35 mm thickness and a 16 mm inscribed circle; these determine cutting behaviour and clamping requirements.

Is the insert indexable on both sides?
The CNMG160612 is double‑sided with a chipbreaker on each face, allowing use of both sides for economical edge utilisation.

How does the CVD coating affect performance?
The CVD coating on the T515 grade improves thermal and abrasive wear resistance, enhancing tool life and allowing stable cutting parameters in many cast iron operations.
