TCMT16T302-PS T9215 ISO turning insert — CVD-coated carbide, triangle 60° (Tungaloy)

A TCMT16T302-PS indexable turning insert engineered for external and internal turning of medium steels, offering robust wear resistance and predictable chip control.

• CVD-coated T9215 grade for mid-range steels
• Triangle 60° form with 0.2 mm corner radius
• 7° clearance, 3.97 mm thickness
• Cylindrical hole with one-sided 40°–60° countersink

Delivering consistent productivity for medium-steel turning

The insert is supplied in a CVD-coated cemented carbide grade (T9215) that balances wear resistance and fracture toughness, which directly supports longer tool life during continuous and slightly interrupted cuts. Selecting this specification reduces unscheduled changeovers and maintains consistent component tolerances, so machining cycles remain predictable. The combination of a coated carbide substrate and a chipbreaker tuned for steel processing contributes to efficient chip formation and evacuation, improving throughput on CNC lathes while reducing the risk of built-up edge.

Precision geometry that supports repeatable component quality

With a triangle 60° configuration and a 0.2 mm corner radius, the geometry offers a compromise between strength at the cutting edge and the ability to produce tight radii on external profiles. The 7° clearance angle reduces rubbing and lowers cutting forces in most turning operations, promoting a stable cutting zone and extending insert life. The plate thickness of 3.97 mm and ISO conformity ensure compatibility with standard ISO toolholders; this makes integration into existing tool systems straightforward and supports rapid tool changes with predictable seating and clamping behaviour.

Compatibility and mounting details for reliable set-up

The insert includes a cylindrical central hole with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°) for positive clamping in standard ISO-compatible holders; compatibility is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. When pairing with an appropriate external holder or boring bar, the insert system—comprising the indexable plate, support shim and clamping set—delivers repeatable positioning and secure retention under varying cutting loads. This mechanical reliability minimises vibration and supports surface finish consistency across batches.

Why the PS chipbreaker and grade selection matter in practice

The PS chipbreaker is designed for turning operations in steels where reliable chip control and continuous cutting are priorities; it helps form short, manageable chips in typical feed and speed ranges for medium steels. Grade T9215 performs as a first choice for general steel machining by combining a CVD coating with a substrate engineered for high productivity, offering a cost-effective balance between wear life and edge robustness. For shops aiming to increase spindle time while maintaining dimensional stability, this insert is a practical option that aligns process security with efficient material removal.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
This insert is optimised for medium steels; the T9215 CVD-coated carbide grade and PS chipbreaker deliver wear resistance and chip control suitable for typical steel turning operations.

Will the insert fit existing ISO toolholders?
Compatibility depends on holder form, clearance angle and dimensions; the TCMT16T302-PS follows ISO specifications (16T302) and is designed for use with standard ISO-compatible external holders and boring bars.

How does the PS chipbreaker affect machining?
The PS chipbreaker promotes short, controllable chips in continuous to lightly interrupted cuts, improving evacuation and reducing rework related to chip entanglement.

Is the corner radius suitable for finishing passes?
The 0.2 mm corner radius provides a balance between strength and the ability to produce fine radii; it is suitable for many finishing and semi-finishing operations, depending on feed and cutting parameters.

What are the key benefits of the T9215 grade?
Grade T9215 combines CVD coating and a robust substrate to offer a compromise of high wear resistance and fracture toughness, supporting higher productivity in steady cutting conditions.
