TNMG 160408 T9215 turning insert (ISO) – Tungaloy

A TNMG160408 T9215 ISO insert for efficient external and internal turning, optimised for medium steel machining and continuous to lightly interrupted cuts

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9215
• Optimised for medium steel productivity
• ISO TNMG triangular 60° geometry
• Double-sided with 0.8 mm corner radius

Increased productivity through robust coating and grade

The T9215 CVD-coated carbide grade combines high wear resistance with reliable fracture toughness, which translates into longer tool life and fewer indexings during production. For shops machining medium-strength steels, this results in a measurable rise in productivity under continuous to lightly interrupted cutting regimes. The coating reduces flank wear and maintains cutting-edge integrity, enabling consistent part quality and less frequent insert changes.

Clear compatibility reduces setup uncertainty

Supplied as an ISO-compliant triangular insert, compatibility with a toolholder depends on the insert’s form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening and thickness. The 0° relief specification and standard TNMG form make holder selection straightforward when matched against ISO holder drawings. Specifying these measurable parameters prevents costly mismatches and shortens setup times on the shop floor, improving process reliability.

Geometry and mounting designed for versatile turning

The triangular shape with a 60° included angle, double-sided chipbreaker and a 0.8 mm corner radius (rounded cutting edge) offers balanced cutting performance for finishing and semi-finishing passes. The insert is supplied with a cylindrical hole, facilitating secure clamping in both external holders and boring bars. This geometry provides repeatable positioning and stable cutting conditions, which helps to sustain surface finish and dimensional accuracy.

System approach and recommended applications

As part of the ISO turning-plate system, the insert complements the appropriate external holder or boring bar, underlay/ clamp set and spare screws for a complete tooling solution. With a plate thickness of 4.76 mm, size 16 and sturdy carbide substrate, the component is especially suitable for turning tasks in medium steel where a balance of wear resistance and breakage safety is required. Selecting the correct chipbreaker and matching the grade to the workpiece stability will deliver the greatest process economy.

FAQ

What materials is this insert recommended for?
The TNMG160408 T9215 insert is recommended for medium steel machining; the T9215 grade and CVD-coated carbide substrate provide wear resistance and toughness suited to such materials.

Is this insert compatible with standard TNMG holders?
Compatibility depends on holder form, clearance angle, tolerance and clamp design; the insert follows ISO TNMG geometry so it is compatible with standard TNMG holders when those parameters match.

Can the insert be used for internal as well as external turning?
Yes, the triangular TNMG form with a cylindrical hole and double-sided chipbreaker allows use in both external holders and boring bars for internal operations.

How does the corner radius affect surface finish?
A 0.8 mm corner radius provides a compromise between strength and finish, improving edge robustness while maintaining a good surface on semi-finishing and finishing passes.

What cutting conditions suit this grade best?
The T9215 grade is intended for productive machining of medium steels under continuous to slightly interrupted cuts; select a chipbreaker and feed that match workpiece stability for optimal results.
