TNMG160404 T9215 – indexable turning insert, CVD-coated carbide by Tungaloy, 60° triangle

TNMG160404 T9215 is an ISO-format indexable insert for turning applications, optimised for medium steel and suited to continuous and light interrupted cuts in production environments

• CVD-coated carbide T9215
• Triangular 60° geometry
• 0.4 mm nose radius
• Double-sided chipbreaker

Consistent productivity through robust coating and grade selection

The combination of a CVD-coated carbide substrate and the T9215 grade delivers a high level of wear resistance without compromising toughness. This balance is designed to maintain cutting-edge performance during longer production runs and when handling slight interruptions in the cut. The result is fewer insert changes and more stable cycle times, which supports predictable throughput in turning operations.

Geometry that simplifies insert selection and clamping compatibility

A 60° triangular format with a 0.4 mm nose radius offers versatility across a range of external and internal turning tasks. The insert is manufactured to ISO dimensions, so compatibility with holders is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The central cylindrical hole enables reliable clamping and repeatable seating in ISO-style toolholders, helping to reduce setup variability and ensure repeatable parts quality.

Designed for medium steel — productivity where it matters

The grade is described for the medium steel machining spectrum and is especially effective when productivity and tool life are required simultaneously. The double-sided chipbreaker provides two usable cutting edges per face, improving economics per insert and assisting chip control during continuous and lightly interrupted cutting. For process engineers, this means lower tooling cost per component and more consistent surface finish on turned parts.

Practical integration and choice guidance for production workshops

When selecting this insert for a specific application, consider the machining strategy: choose a chipbreaker and grade that match the workpiece material, machining stability and feed rates. The insert’s nominal 4.76 mm thickness and ISO designation ensure it fits established clamping systems and replacement procedures. For customers seeking straightforward integration, pairing the insert with a matching external holder, backing shim and correct fastening hardware completes an efficient system for reliable turning.

FAQ

What is the main application for this insert?
The insert is intended for turning operations; the TNMG160404 T9215 is specified for external and internal turning in medium steels, handling continuous to lightly interrupted cuts.

How does the T9215 grade affect tool life?
Tungaloy’s T9215 CVD-coated grade combines wear resistance with good fracture toughness, which extends tool life under steady production conditions and reduces unplanned index changes.

Can this insert be used in standard ISO holders?
Yes, the ISO-format TNMG160404 insert fits standard ISO toolholders when matched for form, clearance, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness and when a suitable backing shim and screw are used.

Is the chip control suitable for long turning passes?
The double-sided chipbreaker supports consistent chip formation during continuous turning, improving surface finish and process stability over extended passes.

What nose radius is available and what does it mean for surface finish?
The insert has a 0.4 mm nose radius, offering a good compromise between edge strength and the ability to achieve fine surface finishes on turned components.
