TNMG 160404 T9215 turning indexable insert — CVD-coated carbide, 0.4 mm radius | Tungaloy

TNMG160404 T9215 is an ISO-format indexable insert designed for general turning applications in medium steel machining, offering a balance of wear resistance and fracture toughness.

• CVD-coated carbide T9215 for medium steel
• 0.4 mm corner radius for reliable edge strength
• 60° triangular form, double-sided use
• Cylindrical hole; 4.76 mm plate thickness

Consistent productivity through a wear-resistant grade

The insert’s CVD-coated carbide composition in the T9215 grade delivers high wear resistance while maintaining fracture toughness, making it particularly effective for continuous to lightly interrupted turning. This combination reduces tool changes and supports steady cycle times on medium steel, which directly improves process efficiency. The coating promotes stable cutting performance over longer tool life, allowing predictable planning of production runs.

Geometry that secures repeatable accuracy and secure clamping

A 60° triangular shape and double-sided design provide economical use of the cutting edges; the 0.4 mm corner radius balances edge strength with fine profile control. The insert features a cylindrical hole for positive locating and a plate thickness of 4.76 mm, ensuring compatibility with standard ISO holders when matching form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening and size. Where a 0° relief angle is specified, the geometry supports robust cutting actions and repeatable seating in the pocket, which is essential for maintaining dimensional consistency across batches.

Practical guidance for machining and process security

Intended for external and internal turning, this insert performs best when the chipbreaker and grade selection are matched to workpiece material, machining type and setup rigidity. For medium steel, the T9215 grade is a first choice: it balances longevity with resistance to edge chipping. To reduce vibration and improve surface finish, ensure adequate clamping and select cutting parameters in line with machine capability; where stability is limited, opt for conservative depth and feed settings. For application-specific parameter recommendations or holder compatibility checks, Metav Werkzeuge provides technical support and can advise on the correct matching of insert form and holding system.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for? The TNMG160404 T9215 insert is optimised for medium steel machining; the T9215 grade combines wear resistance with fracture toughness for continuous to lightly interrupted cuts.

Is the insert reversible and economical to use? Yes, the triangular, double-sided design allows multiple cutting edges per insert, improving cost efficiency and reducing changeover frequency.

How is holder compatibility determined for this insert? Compatibility depends on insert form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; matching those parameters ensures correct seating and clamping of the TNMG160404 T9215.

Can this insert be used for internal turning operations? The insert is suitable for both external and internal turning provided the holder and overhang are appropriate for the required geometry and stability.

Does the T9215 grade require specific cutting parameters? Cutting parameters should reflect machine rigidity and workpiece condition; for medium steel, the T9215 grade performs reliably under standard speeds and feeds, with adjustments advised for interrupted cuts or marginal clamping.
