TCMT 16T308 T9215 TCMT turning insert for turning by Tungaloy, CVD-coated carbide

A TCMT 16T308 T9215 triangular ISO indexable insert designed for external and internal turning, optimised for medium-steel machining and continuous to lightly interrupted cuts.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9215
• 0.8 mm corner radius for consistent profiles
• Triangular form with 60° included angle
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

High productivity through wear-resistant grade and coating

The CVD-coated carbide grade T9215 combines high wear resistance with good fracture toughness to maintain cutting performance over longer runs. This composition makes the insert especially suited to medium steels, where a balance between edge stability and tool life is decisive. The protective CVD coating reduces flank wear and supports higher metal removal rates, which helps to increase throughput without frequent index changes. The overall effect is a measurable improvement in process reliability and cost-efficiency for series production.

Predictable chip behaviour and geometry for accurate turning

A 0.8 mm radius at the cutting edge and a dedicated single-sided chipbreaker promote dependable chip control and surface finish during external and internal turning operations. The triangular geometry with a 60° included angle allows three usable cutting edges per insert, improving economy per indexable seat. The central fixing is a cylindrical hole with a one-sided countersink (40°–60°), ensuring secure clamping and repeatable seating in ISO-compatible holders; this combination supports dimensional accuracy and reduces the risk of unexpected edge failures.

Stable system build and compatibility with ISO holders

With a plate thickness of 3.97 mm and a 7° clearance angle, the insert offers mechanical stiffness that supports stable cutting, particularly in continuous to lightly interrupted cuts. Compatibility with a given holder is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness, so the insert integrates into standard ISO turning systems when matched correctly. The component’s robust design supports consistent results across batches and reduces downtime related to insert failure.

Selection guidance and recommended application scope

The CVD-coated grade is the first choice for medium-steel machining where a compromise between wear resistance and edge integrity is required. Select a chipbreaker and grade that correspond to workpiece material, machining operation and setup rigidity; system compatibility and holder choice are decisive. Should application advice or clarification of holder matching be required, Metav Werkzeuge can provide technical support and help specify the appropriate insert geometry and seating to meet production targets.
