CNMG 160616 T9215 — ISO turning insert by Tungaloy for medium-steel turning

The CNMG160616 T9215 is a rhombic ISO turning insert with a cylindrical mounting hole, designed for external and internal turning in medium steel where a balance of wear resistance and fracture toughness is required.

• CVD-coated carbide T9215 for medium steel
• ISO CNMG rhombic 80° geometry
• Double-sided chipbreaker for interrupted cuts
• Cylindrical hole for secure mounting

Consistent productivity with a wear‑resistant CVD grade

The T9215 CVD-coated carbide grade pairs wear resistance with controlled toughness to maintain tool life under continuous to mildly interrupted cutting. This combination reduces downtime and tool changes, which supports higher throughput in batch and serial production. The coating is applied via chemical vapour deposition to form a thin, adherent layer that withstands elevated cutting temperatures; as a result, productivity is increased while maintaining dimensional stability on medium‑strength steels.

Secure clamping and geometry that stabilises cuts

The rhombic CNMG form with an 80° cutting geometry and a cylindrical through‑hole gives a reliable clamping interface for common external holders and boring bars. The insert’s 6.35 mm thickness and 16 mm size yield a stable cutting edge engagement, and the double‑sided chipbreaker provides two usable cutting edges per index, improving economy. A clear explanation: a chipbreaker controls chip formation and evacuation, which reduces chatter and surface defects and simplifies swarf handling.

Select the right chipbreaker and grade for your process

Match the T9215 grade and the double‑sided chipbreaker to workpiece material, machining type and component stability to achieve the best wear life and surface finish. For less stable setups choose gentler cutting parameters and a chipbreaker designed for interrupted cuts; for rigid, continuous cuts the T9215 grade allows more aggressive cutting speeds. This purposeful selection reduces scrap, increases first‑pass yield and shortens cycle times.

System compatibility and workshop integration

The insert is supplied as an ISO standard component within a system that comprises the insert, a suitable external holder or boring bar, clamping pad or clamp set and replacement screws. This modular approach enables quick integration into existing toolholders and streamlines inventory: keeping a small stock of inserts and clamps ensures rapid turnaround. Support for process planning and holder matching is available through Metav Werkzeuge to guarantee correct fit and performance.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The Tungaloy CNMG160616 T9215 insert is formulated for medium‑strength steel machining, where its T9215 CVD-coated carbide provides an effective balance of wear resistance and fracture toughness.

Can this insert be used for interrupted cuts?
Yes. The insert’s double‑sided chipbreaker and robust carbide substrate make it suitable for continuous and light to moderate interrupted cuts when the correct parameters and holder are used.

Which toolholders are compatible with the CNMG160616 geometry?
Compatibility is determined by insert form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness; the CNMG form and cylindrical hole suit standard CNMG external holders and boring bars designed for ISO inserts.

How does the CVD coating benefit machining performance?
A CVD coating creates a hard, heat‑resistant surface layer that improves wear resistance at elevated cutting temperatures, extending cutting edge life and maintaining dimensional stability during longer runs.

Is the insert reversible and economical?
Yes. The rhombic CNMG form with double‑sided chipbreaker provides two usable cutting edges per index, which improves cost efficiency and reduces the frequency of tool changes.
