TNMG 160408 T9215 turning insert — Tungaloy, CVD-coated carbide

The TNMG160408 T9215 is an ISO‑norm triangular indexable insert designed for external and internal turning of medium steels, offering a balance of wear resistance and fracture toughness for continuous to slightly interrupted cuts.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9215
• ISO TNMG 160408 triangular format
• 0.8 mm nose radius for versatility
• Double-sided chipbreaker, hole-mounted

High-performance carbide grade for sustained productivity

The T9215 grade is a CVD‑coated carbide engineered for the demands of medium‑steel machining, combining elevated wear resistance with reliable fracture toughness. This composition allows for higher material removal rates under continuous or lightly interrupted cutting conditions, reducing tool changes and improving overall throughput. As a result, machining cycles become more predictable and the economic efficiency of production increases without compromising edge integrity.

Precision geometry for consistent fit and surface quality

The ISO TNMG 160408 geometry ensures compatibility with standard indexable holders when form, 0° relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness are matched. The triangular format with a 60° included angle and a plate thickness of 4.76 mm provides stable support in the pocket, while the 16 mm inscribed size and cylindrical hole permit secure mounting. These geometry features contribute to repeatable positioning, consistent cutting engagement and a controlled surface finish during external and internal turning operations.

Effective chip control and adaptable cutting performance

Equipped with a double‑sided chipbreaker and a 0.8 mm corner radius, the insert offers efficient chip formation across a range of cutting parameters. The chipbreaker design promotes predictable chip flow and reduces recutting, which helps to maintain surface integrity and tool life. The modest nose radius delivers a balance between edge strength and fine surface finish, making the insert suitable for finishing passes as well as medium‑duty roughing when process conditions demand consistent results.

Straightforward system integration and maintenance benefits

The insert forms part of a simple system build: an ISO indexable insert, a matching external holder or boring bar, an underplate/clamp set and spare screws for fast replacement. The cylindrical hole style enables reliable clamping and straightforward indexing of the two usable cutting edges, lowering downtime during tool changes. For assemblies where holder choice and tolerance classes matter, compatibility is determined by form, relief angle, tolerance and thickness, which supports predictable integration into existing tool sets and aids tool‑life planning.

FAQ

What materials is this insert most suitable for?
The TNMG160408 T9215 insert is optimised for medium steel machining; the T9215 grade delivers high wear resistance and fracture toughness for productive turning of steel components.

How many cutting edges are available per insert?
The triangular, double‑sided design provides two usable cutting edges per side, allowing multiple indexings before disposal of the insert.

Which holder characteristics must be checked for compatibility?
Compatibility is determined by holder form, 0° relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and plate thickness; matching these parameters ensures correct seating of the TNMG160408 insert.

Is the insert suitable for interrupted cuts?
Yes, the T9215 grade is engineered to tolerate light interruptions while maintaining edge stability and wear resistance in medium steel applications.

How is the insert mounted in the toolholder?
The insert uses a cylindrical hole and is secured with the appropriate clamp set or underplate and screw arrangement for stable clamping and rapid index changes.
