TNMG 160404 T9215 TNMG — Turning insert, 60° triangular, Tungaloy

A TNMG160404 T9215 indexable turning insert designed for ISO-compliant external and internal turning, optimised for medium steel and continuous to lightly interrupted cuts

• CVD-coated carbide for high wear resistance
• 60° triangular form for standard ISO holders
• Nose radius 0.4 mm for precise finishes
• Double-sided chipbreaker for consistent chip control

Faster, more productive turning with CVD-coated carbide

The combination of CVD-coated carbide and a grade engineered for medium steel delivers high productivity and extended tool life under continuous and slightly interrupted cutting conditions. The CVD coating increases wear resistance without sacrificing toughness, reducing the frequency of index changes and minimising machine downtime. As an ISO-compliant triangular insert with a 60° included angle, it fits a broad range of standard external and internal turning holders; compatibility is determined by holder form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixation method, size and thickness, so secure clamping and repeatable performance are ensured.

Predictable surface quality and chip control for precision turning

A 0.4 mm nose radius supports a fine surface finish while maintaining edge strength for medium-duty operations. The double-sided chipbreaker offers symmetrical cutting edges and dependable chip formation across both index positions, which helps stabilise temperatures and prolong edge life. The insert’s cylindrical hole enables positive, concentric clamping in many ISO-style seats; this contributes to consistent run-out and reproducible geometries in production. Where a smoother, high-accuracy finish is required, the modest nose radius and robust substrate combine to balance finish quality with resistance to edge chipping.

System-level guidance for secure integration and consistent results

In practical use the insert functions as part of a system: ISO turning insert, matching external holder or boring bar, appropriate clamp set and replacement screws. Selecting the correct chipbreaker and grade depends on workpiece material, cutting mode and machine stability — for medium steel the T9215 grade is a first choice thanks to its wear resistance and fracture safety. For interrupted cuts or unstable setups, choose holders and setups that improve rigidity and consider machining parameters that reduce shock to the cutting edge. For specialist applications or optimisation of cycle times and tool life, our technical consultants provide tailored recommendations.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The Tungaloy TNMG160404 T9215 insert is optimised for medium steel, with the CVD-coated carbide grade offering a balance of wear resistance and fracture toughness suited to continuous and lightly interrupted cuts.

How does the 0.4 mm nose radius affect surface finish?
A 0.4 mm nose radius provides a finer surface finish while retaining sufficient edge strength; the radius helps achieve consistent part geometry during finishing passes with the chosen cutting parameters.

Is the insert compatible with standard ISO holders?
Yes — the insert follows ISO triangular geometry (60°) and is compatible with standard holders that match the form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixation method, size and thickness specified for ISO inserts.

Can the chipbreaker handle interrupted cuts?
The double-sided chipbreaker offers reliable chip control in continuous and lightly interrupted cuts; for heavy interruptions, increasing system rigidity and reviewing cutting data is recommended to maintain tool life.

What components form the complete tooling system?
A complete system includes the ISO insert, a compatible external holder or boring bar, an underlay/clamp set and replacement screws; correct combination ensures secure clamping and repeatable results.
