CNMG 160616 T9215 — Turning indexable insert (ISO CNMG160616) by Tungaloy

A CNMG 160616 T9215 indexable turning insert in rhombic form, designed for medium steel machining with a double-sided chipbreaker and cylindrical hole for secure clamping

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9215
• Optimised for medium steel machining
• Double-sided chipbreaker, indexable
• ISO CNMG 160616, 80° rhombic geometry

Engineered for sustained productivity in turning

The combination of CVD-coated carbide and the T9215 grade provides improved wear resistance and predictable edge life in continuous to light interrupted cuts. With a reinforced 80° approach geometry and a 1.6 mm nose radius, the insert offers a balance between edge strength and surface finish, reducing the need for frequent regrinding or replacement. These characteristics translate directly into higher part throughput and lower tooling-related downtime for production environments that prioritise repeatable results.

Clear compatibility and simple toolset integration

Compatibility with toolholders depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, attachment method, size and thickness; the ISO CNMG configuration ensures integration into a wide range of standard holders. The rhombic form and 6.35 mm thickness permit robust clamping, while the cylindrical hole supports secure fastening. The double-sided chipbreaker design enables two effective cutting edges per index, helping to extend in-machine service life and reduce inventory variety for equivalent operations.

Practical benefits for workshop efficiency

Indexable geometry and a double-sided configuration reduce handling time and tooling costs: rotating the indexable plate restores a fresh cutting edge swiftly, improving uptime and throughput. The insert (SKU TUN6772202) is supplied as part of an ISO insert system that typically includes the matching outer holder or boring bar, clamping set and replacement screws, making adoption straightforward in existing tool setups. For shops seeking to increase productivity without complex process changes, the insert’s predictable behaviour under medium steel conditions supports stable cycle times and consistent surface quality.

Application guidance and process reliability

Designed primarily for turning — both outside and inside turning — the insert is most effective on medium steel where a mix of wear resistance and fracture toughness is required. The double-sided chipbreaker aids chip control and surface quality, while the T9215 carbide matrix suits continuous to lightly interrupted cuts common in batch and serial production. When selecting a chipbreaker and grade, match the sort and breaker to workpiece material, machining style and machine stability to achieve the promised performance and tool life.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited to machine?
The CNMG 160616 T9215 insert from Tungaloy is optimised for medium steel machining; the T9215 grade balances wear resistance and toughness for continuous to lightly interrupted cuts.

How large is the cutting edge radius and how does it affect finish?
The insert features a 1.6 mm nose radius, which improves edge robustness and supports a consistent surface finish when used with appropriate cutting parameters and stable workholding.

Is the plate indexable and how many edges are available?
Yes — the CNMG geometry is double-sided with a chipbreaker, providing two indexable cutting edges per side and enabling fast in-machine indexing to restore a fresh edge.

Which holders are compatible with this ISO insert?
Compatibility is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, attachment, size and thickness; the ISO CNMG160616 format integrates with standard CNMG holders and suitable boring bars designed for CNMG plates.

What is the manufacturer SKU for ordering and identification?
The manufacturer SKU is TUN6772202, and the article number is 6772202 for straightforward identification in procurement and inventory systems.
