TNMG 160408 T9215 — ISO triangular turning insert, CVD-coated carbide by Tungaloy

A TNMG160408 T9215 indexable insert for ISO-compliant external and internal turning, designed for productive machining of medium steel with a 60° geometry and a 0.8 mm corner radius.

• CVD-coated carbide for high wear resistance
• Optimised for medium steel machining
• 60° triangular geometry, 0.8 mm corner radius
• Double-sided insert with cylindrical hole

Increased productivity through robust cutting performance

The combination of a CVD-coated surface and a wear-resistant carbide substrate in grade T9215 provides a reliable balance between wear resistance and breakage resistance. This results in longer useful life under continuous to slightly interrupted cutting conditions, which reduces tool changes and supports a steady production flow. For contract manufacturers and job shops, the practical effect is fewer downtime events and a lower cost per finished component while maintaining consistent dimensional results.

Predictable machining thanks to standardised geometry and compatibility

The 60° triangular geometry and 0.8 mm corner radius deliver dependable edge strength and are well suited to general turning profiles. As an ISO-format insert, compatibility with holders depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness—factors that ensure precise seating and repeatable positioning. The double-sided design with a cylindrical hole allows economical use of the insert life while preserving clamping stability and concentricity in the toolholder.

Better surface finishes and chip control for smoother cycles

A matching doubled-sided chipbreaker and the T9215 grade support controlled chip formation when machining medium steel, which helps prevent snarling and improves evacuation in long cuts. Proper chip control lowers the risk of built-up edge and contributes to a more consistent surface quality, reducing downstream finishing operations. When selecting the chipbreaker and cutting parameters, align the choice with workpiece stability and machining strategy to optimise both tool life and part quality.

Application guidance and straightforward integration into existing toolsets

This insert is intended for turning applications in medium steel. The insert’s CVD-coated layer and carbide core make it a first choice for users seeking a compromise between tool life and fracture resistance.
