TPMR 160308 T9215 turning insert by Tungaloy — ISO triangular indexable insert for turning

TPMR 160308 T9215 is an ISO-standard triangular indexable turning insert designed for general external and internal turning in medium steel applications, offering a reliable blend of wear resistance and fracture toughness.

• TPMR triangular ISO turning insert
• CVD-coated carbide grade T9215
• 0.8 mm nose radius for stable finishing
• Single-sided chipbreaker for medium steel

Optimised wear resistance for productive steel turning

The insert is manufactured from cemented carbide with a CVD coating in the T9215 grade, developed as a first choice for medium steel machining. This combination provides high wear resistance while maintaining fracture safety, enabling consistently productive turning in continuous to slightly interrupted cuts. The geometry is optimised for steady metal removal, which reduces tool-change frequency and supports higher throughput in batch and series production. Where surface integrity matters, the specified edge preparation and coating help deliver repeatable finish and dimensional stability.

ISO compatibility and mounting considerations for secure clamping

Built to the ISO designation TPMR160308, the insert fits holders that match its form, clearance, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness. The insert has no central hole and uses a clamp-style or top-clamp holder compatible with triangular, 16 mm-class plates and a 3.18 mm thickness. Check the holder’s seat, clamping screw clearance and tolerance band before fitting; correct seating avoids micro-movement and preserves cutting-edge life. The 11° clearance and 60° included angle ensure predictable engagement, simplifying tool setting and reducing the need for repeated adjustments.

Geometry choices that balance edge strength and surface finish

With a 0.8 mm nose radius, the insert strikes a balance between edge robustness and the ability to achieve a fine surface finish on medium steels. The single-sided chipbreaker helps control swarf formation and promotes stable chip flow under steady cutting conditions; select the chipbreaker and grade to match workpiece stability and feed rate. The geometry supports both external and internal turning operations; for less stable setups choose smaller nose radii or lower feed to avoid chattering, while the current radius is well suited to general finishing and medium-duty turning.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for? The TPMR160308 T9215 turning insert from Tungaloy is specified as a first choice for medium steel machining and performs best where a balance of wear resistance and fracture toughness is required.

Will the insert fit my existing holder? Compatibility depends on holder seat geometry and clamping method; the TPMR160308 fits ISO triangular seats that accept a 16 mm plate, 3.18 mm thickness and top-clamp or clamp-style fixing; confirm clearance and tolerance class on the holder.

Can this insert be used for interrupted cuts? Yes — the T9215 grade and the insert geometry are suitable for continuous to slightly interrupted cutting; for heavy interruptions, a more robust geometry or different grade may be preferable.

Does the insert have a central hole for screw clamping? No, the TPMR160308 is supplied without a hole and requires a holder that secures the plate using a clamp or top-clamp system.

What surface finish can be expected with a 0.8 mm nose radius? A 0.8 mm nose radius provides a good compromise between surface quality and edge strength, delivering consistent finishes on medium steel at moderate feed rates while maintaining tool life.
