TNMG 160404 T9215 Wendeplatten - Tungaloy

Take advantage of the combination of CVD-coated cemented carbide (T9215), a 0.4 mm corner radius and a robust 60° triangular geometry for stable, high-productivity turning operations; order the insert directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult our technical team for holder compatibility and process matching.

TNMG160404 T9215 – ISO turning indexable insert, CVD-coated carbide (Tungaloy)

The TNMG160404 T9215 is an ISO-standard triangular indexable insert designed for external and internal turning, optimised for medium-steel machining and continuous to lightly interrupted cuts.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9215, wear-resistant
• Triangular ISO insert TNMG 160404, 60° geometry
• 0.4 mm corner radius for precise turning
• Double-sided insert with cylindrical locating hole

Reliable productivity for medium-steel turning

The combination of a CVD coating and cemented carbide substrate in this grade delivers a balance of wear resistance and fracture toughness that supports consistent cycle times in production environments. The selected cutting material is particularly suited to medium-steel machining, where sustained performance under continuous cuts matters most. The coating reduces flank and crater wear, which means fewer interruptions for tool changes and a more predictable replacement cadence—advantages that translate directly into improved machine utilisation and reduced cost per component.

Geometry engineered for accuracy and surface quality

A 60° triangular form with a 0.4 mm corner radius provides a compromise between rigidity and finishing capability: the insert maintains edge strength for heavier cuts while allowing fine tool edge contact for acceptable surface finishes. The double-sided design increases usable edge count, improving economy per indexable edge. The cylindrical locating hole ensures secure clamping in compatible holders and helps maintain repeatable positioning after re-indexing. Compatibility with a given holder is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness—factors that should be verified to ensure the insert performs as intended.

Easy integration and predictable process behaviour

The insert is part of a system: an ISO insert, a matching external holder or boring bar, a shim/clamping set and replacement screws form the assembly. Correct pairing reduces set-up time and improves process stability. The built-in double-sided chipbreaker supports chip control for a range of feeds and depths of cut, which helps avoid entanglement and reduces the need for secondary operations. When combined with appropriate speeds and feeds, the result is a robust cutting solution that contributes to consistent dimensional results and extended tool life.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The Tungaloy TNMG160404 T9215 insert is optimised for medium-steel machining; its CVD-coated cemented carbide composition is chosen to balance wear resistance and toughness for this material class.

How is the insert secured in the holder?
The insert uses a cylindrical locating hole and is clamped in place by the corresponding holder, shim and screw arrangement; compatibility depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness.

How many cutting edges are available per insert?
This triangular, double-sided insert provides multiple usable edges, increasing economy by extending the total number of index positions before disposal.

Does the coating suit interrupted cuts?
Grade T9215 combines wear resistance with sufficient fracture toughness for continuous to lightly interrupted cuts; for severe interruptions consult Metav Werkzeuge for alternative grades.

Can this insert be used for internal boring as well as external turning?
Yes; the ISO TNMG160404 geometry is applicable to both external and internal turning when paired with a suitable holder or boring bar.
