CNMG 160612 T9215 Turning Insert – Tungaloy

CNMG160612 T9215 is a rhombic, ISO-standard turning insert designed for medium-steel machining in general turning applications

• CVD-coated grade T9215 for steel machining
• Rhombic CNMG shape, 80° cutting angle
• 1.2 mm corner radius for strong edge
• Cylindrical-hole insert for secure clamping

High productivity through wear-resistant CVD-coated carbide

The CVD coating on the carbide grade T9215 combines high wear resistance with mechanical strength, which results in extended tool life and fewer indexings. For medium-steel turning, this balance reduces downtime for insert changes and supports higher metal removal rates without sacrificing process stability. The result is a measurable improvement in shop throughput and reduced total cost per part when compared with uncoated grades.

Stable geometry and secure clamping for consistent surface finish

Built to the ISO CNMG geometry with an 80° approach angle and a rhombic form, the insert features a cylindrical mounting hole and a plate thickness of 6.35 mm, which together provide reliable seat contact and repeatable positioning in the holder. The defined 1.2 mm corner radius enhances edge strength and helps avoid premature chipping under moderate interruptions. This combination improves vibration resistance and contributes to consistently better surface quality on shafts and bores.

Application guidance and process benefits for turning operations

The two-sided chipbreaker configuration and the grade’s suitability for continuous to slightly interrupted cuts make this insert a pragmatic choice for production turning and batch work. Selecting a matching holder and the correct tolerance class ensures optimal heat evacuation and chip flow. For stability-sensitive operations, pairing the insert with a robust external holder minimises runout and maximises the advantage of the grade’s breakage resistance and productivity.
