CNMG 160616 T9215 – ISO turning insert, CVD-coated carbide, for turning

CNMG 160616 T9215 is an ISO‑standard indexable insert designed for external and internal turning, offering a robust grade for medium steel machining.

• CNMG ISO shape with 80° included angle
• CVD-coated carbide T9215 for medium steel
• Double-sided chipbreaker with cylindrical hole
• 1.6 mm corner radius for a sturdy profile

Proven grade for productive medium‑steel turning

The T9215 grade is a CVD-coated carbide engineered to balance high wear resistance with reliable fracture toughness. This combination supports elevated material removal rates in continuous to slightly interrupted turning operations, translating into fewer tool changes and improved cycle times. By favouring a wear‑resistant coating while retaining core toughness, the insert sustains performance across a range of common steels, reducing unplanned stoppages and contributing to a steadier production flow.

Standardised geometry for secure clamping and repeatability

The CNMG160616 geometry follows ISO conventions to ensure compatibility with standard CNMG holders and toolholders. The rhombic shape with an 80° included angle and a 0° clearance definition gives a stable cutting attitude for general turning tasks, while the 6.35 mm plate thickness supports higher axial and radial loads. The insert’s cylindrical hole and precise tolerance class enable firm clamping and repeatable positioning, which helps maintain consistent part tolerances and surface quality across batches.

Chip control, edge life and recommended use cases

A double-sided chipbreaker optimises swarf formation and evacuation in typical steel turning, improving process security and finish quality. The 1.6 mm corner radius provides a robust cutting edge that resists chipping during moderate interruptions, making the insert suitable for both external profiling and light internal turning. For best results, select the chipbreaker and insert grade to match the specific material, cutting data and machine stability.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The CNMG 160616 T9215 insert is optimised for medium steel applications; the CVD‑coated carbide grade provides a balance of wear resistance and toughness for productive steel turning.

Is the insert compatible with standard CNMG toolholders?
Yes, the insert follows ISO CNMG dimensions and clamping features, so standard CNMG toolholders that accept an insert with a cylindrical locating hole will be compatible.

How does the 1.6 mm corner radius affect cutting performance?
A 1.6 mm corner radius delivers a more robust cutting edge, improving resistance to chipping and enabling slightly heavier depths of cut where machine and workpiece rigidity permit.

How many indexing positions are available per insert?
The insert is double‑sided with reversible cutting edges; each usable edge count depends on the holder setup, but the design allows economical indexing to extend overall edge life.
