TNMG160408 T9215 Triangle ISO turning insert by Tungaloy — CVD-coated carbide, 60° geometry

A TNMG160408 T9215 triangle ISO turning insert designed for external and internal turning in medium steel machining, offering a robust cutting edge and standardised fit for ISO toolholders.

• CVD-coated carbide for wear resistance
• 60° triangle shape, 16 mm cutting size
• 0.8 mm corner radius for robust edge
• Double-sided insert with cylindrical hole

High productivity with a grade optimised for medium steel

The combination of a CVD-coated carbide substrate and the T9215 grade delivers a clear productivity advantage in medium steel turning. The coating increases abrasive wear resistance while the substrate maintains fracture toughness; this balance supports longer cutting intervals under continuous to slightly interrupted cutting conditions. In practice, this means fewer indexings and reduced tool changes, helping to keep cycle times down and machine uptime high. This insert is particularly suited to operations where repeatable performance and high material removal rates are required.

Consistent cutting geometry for reliable results

A stable geometry reduces variability at the cutting edge: the 60° triangle format and a 0.8 mm corner radius provide a predictable contact area and increased edge strength compared with sharper radii. The insert is double-sided and features a cylindrical central hole for secure clamping; the 4.76 mm thickness contributes to rigidity under load. These measurable parameters support repeatable part quality and surface finish, while the standardised ISO form ensures the insert seats correctly in holders designed for the TNMG160408 format.

Seamless integration into ISO tool systems

The insert is part of a conventional ISO system: an indexable turning plate together with a compatible external holder or boring bar, a locating shim/clamping set and replacement screws. Compatibility depends on form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness, so holders specified for TNMG 160408-type inserts will accept this component without modification. Using a standardised insert streamlines inventory and simplifies retooling, which translates into lower administrative overhead and faster setup times on the shopfloor.

Why the T9215 grade and CVD coating matter

The T9215 designation identifies a CVD-coated carbide combination optimised as a first choice for medium steel machining. The coating provides a protective barrier against built-up edge and abrasive wear, while the substrate offers sufficient toughness to resist chipping during moderate interruptions. As a result, the insert promotes consistent tool life and predictable replacement intervals, supporting process stability and cost-efficiency over production runs. For applications prioritising both wear resistance and breakage safety, this grade offers a balanced solution.
