SNMG 120408 T9215 — SNMG120408 Tungaloy turning insert (ISO SNMG, square, 0° clearance)

SNMG120408 T9215 is a CVD-coated carbide indexable insert designed for medium steel turning, featuring a double-sided chipbreaker and a 0° clearance angle.

• CVD-coated carbide T9215 grade
• ISO SNMG square form, with hole
• 0.8 mm corner radius for versatile finishing
• Double-sided chipbreaker for consistent chips

Delivering higher productivity in medium-steel turning

The combination of CVD-coated carbide and the T9215 grade provides a balance of wear resistance and fracture toughness that supports sustained production runs. This insert is engineered for medium steel machining and performs well in continuous to light interrupted cuts, translating into fewer indexings and reduced tool-change downtime. The robust coating reduces flank wear and helps maintain surface finish over longer tool life, which improves process stability and lowers unit cost per part.

Fast, secure fit and straightforward ISO compatibility

Compatibility follows ISO SNMG standards, so the insert matches holders when form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness are aligned. The square form with a cylindrical hole and a plate thickness of 4.76 mm ensures reliable clamping and repeatable seating in standard indexable holders. The 90° included angle provides predictable cutting geometry, simplifying the selection of compatible toolholders and reducing setup time on the shop floor.

Consistent chip control and extended edge life

A double-sided chipbreaker on this indexable insert delivers steady chip formation across a range of feeds and depths of cut, improving evacuation and minimising recutting. The 0.8 mm corner radius balances strength and finish capability, supporting light finishing passes without sacrificing robustness. Together, the chipbreaker geometry and the CVD-coated substrate enhance edge stability, which is particularly valuable when machining medium steel where both abrasion and mechanical shock can occur.

Practical guidance for reliable results

Intended for external and internal turning, the insert suits diverse turning operations when paired with the appropriate chipbreaker and holder. For best performance, adopt cutting data that reflect workpiece stability and machine rigidity, and select the chipbreaker and grade according to the material and machining type. If further machining data or size compatibility checks are required, Metav Werkzeuge provides application support and can recommend the correct holder and clamping set to match the ISO SNMG system.

FAQ

What materials is this insert primarily designed for?

The SNMG120408 T9215 indexable insert is optimised for medium steel; the T9215 grade with CVD coating combines wear resistance and toughness for productive steel turning.

Is the insert compatible with standard SNMG toolholders?

Yes, the insert conforms to the ISO SNMG series; compatibility is achieved when holder form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing, size and thickness match the insert.

Can this insert be used for interrupted cuts?

The grade is suitable for continuous to light interrupted cuts; for heavy interruptions a different grade or reinforced geometry should be considered.

How does the double-sided chipbreaker affect usage?

The double-sided chipbreaker ensures consistent chip control and allows the insert to be indexed to fresh edges, supporting predictable performance and longer edge life.

What are the SKU and article number for ordering?

The article number is 6774110 and the manufacturer SKU is TUN6774110 for the Tungaloy SNMG120408 T9215 turning insert.
