TNMG160412 T9215 indexable turning insert — Tungaloy

The TNMG160412 T9215 is a CVD-coated carbide, ISO-format indexable insert designed for medium steel turning and suited to continuous and light interrupted cuts.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9215
• Triangular ISO TNMG form with 60° included angle
• 1.2 mm corner radius for consistent edge strength
• Double-sided chipbreaker with cylindrical hole

Engineered for productive steel turning and predictable tool life

The insert is specified for medium steel machining, combining a CVD-coated carbide substrate with a geometry that balances wear resistance and fracture toughness. This technical pairing delivers stable cutting performance under continuous to slightly interrupted cuts, reducing unplanned tool changes and contributing to higher machine uptime. The T9215 grade was selected to provide a favourable trade-off between abrasion resistance and edge stability, which is particularly relevant for serial production where repeatable part quality and longer tool life translate into measurable process efficiency.

Geometry and chip control that simplify set-up and increase reliability

With the ISO TNMG triangular outline and a 60° included angle, the insert offers robust seating and predictable engagement. The 1.2 mm corner radius supports a wider range of cutting depths while maintaining edge strength, reducing the risk of premature chipping. The double-sided chipbreaker and cylindrical hole enable consistent chip formation and secure clamping in compatible holders, simplifying set-up and contributing to improved surface finishes. These characteristics reduce variability in machining results and make tool performance more reproducible across shifts.

Compatibility, system considerations and recommended use

The insert is an ISO-standard turning plate intended for use with matching external holders or boring bars; compatibility is determined by the insert form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The plate thickness of 4.76 mm and the with-hole configuration require the corresponding clamping set and replacement screws. For best results, pair the insert with a holder rated for TNMG inserts and select a chipbreaker and grade matched to workpiece material and stability. The design is most effective when applied to medium steels in continuous or light interrupted turning, providing a cost-efficient route to stable productivity.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The TNMG160412 T9215 insert is optimised for medium steel machining; the CVD-coated T9215 grade balances wear resistance and edge stability for continuous to light interrupted cuts.

How does the 1.2 mm corner radius affect machining?
A 1.2 mm corner radius increases edge strength and allows for moderate depth of cut, improving resistance to chipping and supporting consistent dimensional results.

Is the insert reversible or single-use?
The triangular TNMG format is double-sided with a double-sided chipbreaker, enabling indexing to a fresh cutting edge when required for continued use.

Which holder features are required for correct compatibility?
Compatibility depends on insert form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening and thickness; use a holder designed for TNMG160412 inserts and ensure the clamping set and replacement screws match the thickness and hole style.

What is the manufacturer article number and SKU for ordering?
The manufacturer article number is 6772341 and the manufacturer SKU is TUN6772341 for the TNMG160412 T9215 Tungaloy insert.
