TNMG 160408 T9215 ISO indexable turning insert — Tungaloy

The TNMG160408 T9215 is an ISO-standard triangular indexable insert designed for efficient external and internal turning of medium-grade steel.

• CVD-coated carbide for high wear resistance
• Optimised for medium steel and productive turning
• Triangle shape with 0.8 mm corner radius

High-performance coating for sustained cutting life

The CVD-coated cemented carbide substrate delivers a measurable increase in cutting life compared with uncoated grades. Thanks to the T9215 coating, the insert combines elevated wear resistance with robust fracture resistance, making it suitable for prolonged production runs. This balance reduces unexpected tool changes and supports stable component quality over batches, so machining cycles remain predictable and downtime is minimised.

Productivity through geometry and chip control

A triangular plate with a 0.8 mm corner radius and a 60° included angle offers a compact cutting edge that supports higher feeds without sacrificing surface finish. The double-sided chipbreaker design provides repeatable chip formation for continuous to slightly interrupted cuts, improving cycle times and lowering scrap rates. These geometric choices translate into fewer tool indices and a more economical turning process overall.

Compatibility and secure clamping for safe operation

Compatibility with holders depends on form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; the ISO conformity of this insert ensures straightforward selection for most external holders and boring bars. The insert comes with a cylindrical hole, enabling positive location and clamping in standard assemblies. Clear understanding of these mounting parameters aids reliable seating and torque transfer, reducing the risk of vibration and unexpected edge failure.

Guidance for application and process setup

Designed as a first choice for medium steel, the grade is optimised for high-productivity scenarios with continuous to slightly interrupted cuts. When selecting cutting parameters, favour stable setups and adjust feed to the chosen corner radius to balance tool life and surface quality. Where finish is critical, the T9215 coating helps maintain edge integrity and consistent surface results over longer tool life, supporting predictable outputs for production environments.

FAQ

What material is this insert best suited for?
The TNMG160408 T9215 insert is optimised for medium steel applications, where the T9215 grade balances wear resistance and fracture toughness.

Does the insert fit standard ISO holders?
Yes, the plate follows ISO geometry; compatibility is determined by form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening and size, so matching those parameters ensures correct fit.

How many usable cutting edges are available per insert?
With a triangular, double-sided design, the insert provides multiple indexed edges; the exact number depends on the specific indexing method used by the holder assembly.

What is the significance of the 0° relief angle?
A 0° relief angle indicates a neutral clearance suitable for many general turning operations, contributing to stable engagement and consistent edge support during cutting.

Is the insert suitable for slightly interrupted cuts?
Yes, the T9215 grade and the plate geometry are designed to perform reliably in continuous to slightly interrupted cutting conditions.
