TCMT 16T304 T9215 – Turning insert by Tungaloy, CVD-coated carbide

The TCMT 16T304 T9215 is an ISO-standard triangular turning insert designed for medium-steel machining, offering stable chip formation and suitability for continuous to slightly interrupted cuts.

• ISO-standard triangular insert
• CVD-coated carbide grade T9215
• 0.4 mm corner radius for versatile turning
• For medium steel; continuous to light interrupted

Greater productivity through wear-resistant grade and coating

The combination of CVD-coated carbide and the T9215 grade provides clearly improved abrasion resistance and elevated fracture toughness compared with uncoated grades, which supports longer tool life and fewer index changes. For production environments where cycle time and repeatability matter, this specification reduces unplanned tool changes and maintains consistent part quality; the coating functions as a wear barrier, while the substrate ensures edge stability under steady cutting conditions. These attributes translate into measurable process efficiency for medium-steel turning.

Precise geometry for stable clamping and repeatable accuracy

A triangular insert with a 60° included angle, 3.97 mm plate thickness and 0.4 mm corner radius offers a well-balanced compromise between strength and finishing capability. The insert’s compatibility with holders depends on form, relief angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness, so the correct combination of insert, appropriate external holder or boring bar, and shim/clamp set is essential for vibration-free turning. The cylindrical hole with single-sided countersink (40°–60°) ensures secure seating and repeatable positioning for high-accuracy turning operations.

Application-focused choice for consistent results in turning

The cutting geometry and single-sided chipbreaker make this grade an excellent first choice for standard to moderately demanding turning of medium steel, delivering a balance of high wear resistance and fracture resistance in continuous to slightly interrupted conditions. Selecting the matching chipbreaker and grade according to workpiece material and machining stability helps to avoid edge chipping and to maintain surface quality. The complete system approach — indexable insert, compatible holder or boring bar, underlay/clamp set and spare screws — simplifies tool management and supports steady production output.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert suitable for?
The TCMT 16T304 T9215 insert is specified as a first choice for medium steel machining, combining wear resistance and fracture toughness for continuous to slightly interrupted cutting.

What is the corner radius and how does it affect the cut?
The insert has a 0.4 mm corner radius, which offers a balance between edge strength and surface finish, suitable for general-purpose turning where moderate robustness and finish are required.

Which holder characteristics determine compatibility?
Compatibility is governed by form, relief angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness; matching the TCMT 16T304 to the correct external holder or boring bar and clamp set is essential for stable performance.

What are the key geometric specifications of the insert?
The indexable insert is triangular with a 60° included angle, 16 mm size, 3.97 mm thickness and a cylindrical hole with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°) for secure seating.

For which cutting conditions is the T9215 grade intended?
The T9215 CVD-coated carbide grade is optimised for medium-steel turning, offering high wear resistance and reliable edge stability under continuous to slightly interrupted machining.
