SNMG090304-TM T9215 SNMG 090304 Tungaloy – Turning insert with TM chipbreaker

SNMG090304-TM T9215 Tungaloy is an ISO‑standard indexable turning insert designed for productive external and internal turning of medium steels.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9215
• ISO SNMG090304 geometry, square insert
• Optimised TM chipbreaker for medium steel
• Cylindrical centre hole for secure clamping

Higher productivity through wear resistance and toughness

The combination of a CVD-coated carbide substrate and the T9215 grade delivers a balanced performance aimed at sustained production. The coating increases wear resistance, while the substrate provides fracture toughness, which together enable higher cutting speeds and longer tool life under continuous or lightly interrupted cuts. This results in fewer insert changes and improved cycle times when machining medium‑hard steel grades, making the insert a cost‑effective choice for repetitive turning operations.

Reliable seat and geometry for consistent clamping and accuracy

The ISO SNMG090304 geometry offers a square plate with a 90° included angle, a corner radius of 0.4 mm and a plate thickness of 3.18 mm, which together ensure dimensional stability and predictable engagement with the workpiece. The cylindrical centre hole and matching fixation features support secure clamping in standard external holders or boring bars. Compatibility with holders depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness; correct holder selection preserves insert performance and repeatability across batches.

Process benefits and application focus for turning medium steels

Equipped with the TM chipbreaker, the insert produces controlled chip formation suited to medium‑range steel turning. This reduces the risk of long, stringy chips and improves surface finish in both external and internal turning. The combination of geometry and grade means the insert is particularly effective in continuous operations and in light interruptions, where stable edge behaviour and consistent wear patterns are essential for predictable process windows and reduced rework.

Selection guidance and operational notes

The insert is part of a system comprising the ISO turning insert, an appropriate external holder or boring bar, a locating pad or clamp set, and replacement screws. For best results, match the chipbreaker and grade to the specific steel alloy, cutting conditions and machine rigidity. For customers seeking precise recommendations on feed and speed for particular materials, additional cutting data can be provided to optimise cycle time and tool life without compromising surface integrity.
