TCMT16T308 T9215 indexable insert for Turning — Tungaloy

A TCMT16T308 T9215 indexable insert engineered for ISO-compliant external and internal turning, offering robust wear resistance for medium steel machining.

• CVD-coated carbide for high wear resistance
• Optimised for medium steel turning
• Triangular 60° insert with 0.8 mm radius
• Compatible with ISO holders; central hole

Increase throughput with long-lasting, CVD-coated carbide

The CVD-coated carbide grade T9215 combines wear resistance with fracture toughness to sustain higher feed and cutting speeds in continuous and slightly interrupted cuts. This results in more consistent cycle times and reduced insert changes, which directly supports higher productivity and lower per-part tooling costs. The coating acts as a barrier against adhesion and abrasion, improving tool life while preserving cutting-edge integrity under typical turning conditions for medium steel.

Achieve reliable geometry and predictable chip control

A triangular, 60° cutting geometry with a 0.8 mm corner radius provides a balance between strength and finishing capability. The single-sided chipbreaker design promotes stable chip formation for a wide range of depths of cut, simplifying process setup and enabling repeatable surface quality. The central cylindrical hole with one-sided countersink (40°–60°) ensures secure clamping and positional repeatability in ISO holders, reducing vibration and contributing to dimensional stability during external and internal turning operations.

Simplify tool matching and system logistics

Designed for the ISO insert system, the plate integrates into standard turning toolholders without special modifications, making it straightforward to kit into existing tool inventories. The 3.97 mm plate thickness and standard 16 mm size support robust clamping and predictable force transmission, which helps to maintain insert life and machine uptime. For production environments where tool change frequency and inventory harmonisation matter, this solution delivers both compatibility and process clarity.

Practical advantages for shop-floor applications

The carbide substrate and coating combination offers both wear resistance and controlled edge strength, which is especially valuable in batch production and longer runs. Process planners benefit from fewer unscheduled stops and more reproducible part quality, while operators appreciate the insert's forgiving behaviour in slightly interrupted cuts common in roughing passes. The design supports a pragmatic balance between cutting performance and operational reliability, making it a solid choice for standard steel turning tasks.
