TNMG 160408 T9215 Turning Insert – Tungaloy (ISO turning insert, triangular, 60°)

TNMG160408 T9215 is a precision indexable insert for turning applications, engineered for medium steel machining with a CVD-coated carbide grade optimised for durability and fracture resistance.

• ISO-standard triangular insert
• CVD-coated carbide grade T9215
• 0.8 mm corner radius for stable cutting
• Double-sided chipbreaker with cylindrical hole

Exceptional performance for medium steel turning

The CVD-coated carbide in grade T9215 provides a balanced combination of wear resistance and edge toughness, making this insert especially suitable for medium steel applications. Thanks to the coating and substrate pairing, the component sustains higher cutting speeds and delivers consistent tool life under continuous to lightly interrupted cutting conditions. This results in fewer tool changes and a measurable improvement in process efficiency for batch production and series turning.

Precise geometry for repeatable part quality

With a 60° cutting geometry and a 0.8 mm corner radius, the triangular design promotes stable insert seating and consistent chip formation. The insert thickness of 4.76 mm contributes to a rigid cutting edge that resists bending and chipping, which supports tighter dimensional tolerances. The ISO-compliant form simplifies selection of a matching holder: correct fit is determined by insert shape, free angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness, ensuring predictable results across different machines.

Chip control and machinability advantages

The double-sided chipbreaker and central cylindrical hole support reliable clamping and efficient chip evacuation in a wide range of feed rates. Effective chip control reduces rubbing and heat build-up at the cutting zone, which enhances surface finish and extends effective tool life. For operations that alternate between continuous and slightly interrupted cuts, this cutting geometry offers improved stability and repeatable cutting forces, translating into higher productivity per shift.

Practical compatibility and application guidance

Designed for turning, the insert integrates readily into standard ISO-based tool systems. Inspection of holder compatibility—form, free angle (0° specified), tolerance and fixing—ensures safe clamping and repeatable seating. The grade combines productive cutting behaviour with robustness against edge breakage, making the insert a sound choice for workshops seeking a cost-effective balance between performance and lifetime under normal production loads.

FAQ

What materials is this insert designed for?
The TNMG160408 T9215 indexable insert is intended primarily for medium steel machining; the T9215 grade balances wear resistance and toughness for productive turning.

How does the 0.8 mm corner radius affect performance?
A 0.8 mm corner radius gives a stronger cutting edge and improved surface finish compared with sharper radii, while still allowing reasonable feed rates for turning operations.

Is the insert compatible with standard ISO holders?
Yes, the insert follows ISO dimensions, but compatibility depends on holder form, free angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness; verify those parameters before installation.

Can this insert handle interrupted cuts?
The CVD-coated carbide T9215 is suitable for continuous to slightly interrupted cuts; severe interruptions may require a different grade or geometry.

What benefits does the double-sided chipbreaker provide?
The double-sided chipbreaker and cylindrical hole ensure reliable clamping and controlled chip formation, improving chip evacuation, surface finish and tool life.
