TNMG 160408 T9215 TNMG turning insert — CVD-coated carbide, 60° (Tungaloy)

The TNMG160408 T9215 Tungaloy insert is an ISO-standard triangular turning insert for external and internal turning, optimised for medium-steel machining and designed to deliver a balance of wear resistance and fracture safety in continuous to slightly interrupted cuts.

• ISO-standard triangular insert, 60°
• CVD-coated carbide grade T9215
• Double-sided chipbreaker, with hole
• 0.8 mm corner radius for medium steel

Reliable productivity for medium-steel turning

The Tungaloy grade T9215 combines a CVD-coated carbide substrate with a microstructure tuned for high wear resistance and dependable fracture toughness. This results in sustained cutting performance during continuous operations and when light interruptions occur, so production runs maintain cycle time and surface quality. Specifying this grade supports a favourable cost-per-edge ratio and reduces unscheduled tool changes, which is particularly valuable in batch and serial machining of medium-grade steel.

Secure fit and ISO compatibility to speed tool changes

Designed as an ISO-standard insert, the TNMG160408 follows established dimensional and geometric conventions so that holder selection and interchange are straightforward. Compatibility with a chosen holder is determined by insert form, rake angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness; matching these parameters with a suitable external holder or boring bar reduces set-up time and improves repeatability. The product is supplied as part of a system that includes the indexable insert, a matching external holder or boring bar, a shim/clamp set and replacement screws, allowing predictable integration into existing tooling systems.

Enhanced chip control and extended edge life

The double-sided chipbreaker built into this insert delivers controlled chip formation for typical turning operations, helping to avoid entangling swarf and promoting consistent surface finishes. Combined with the 0.8 mm corner radius and the T9215 substrate, the insert shows a balanced response to cutting forces: reduced risk of edge chipping and stable flank wear progression. Choosing an appropriate chipbreaker and machining parameters for the workpiece material and machine stability enables longer edge life and fewer interruptions, translating into improved overall equipment effectiveness.

For applications demanding consistent performance with medium steels, consider the Tungaloy T9215-grade TNMG160408 and contact Metav Werkzeuge for application guidance and availability.
