TCMT 160620 T3225 — Indexable milling insert for milling (Tungaloy)

TCMT 160620 T3225 is a triangular indexable milling insert designed for use in Tungaloy milling systems and intended for face, shoulder, slot, high-feed and contour milling.

Optimised T3225 grade for wear resistance
Triangle 16 mm size, 60° geometry
2 mm corner radius for edge strength
Compatible with Tungaloy milling systems

Boosted tool life through balanced grade properties

The T3225 grade combines wear resistance and controlled toughness to prolong edge life in a wide range of milling operations. The cemented carbide substrate and the grade formulation reduce flank wear and delay chipping, which means fewer insert changes and higher process uptime. For operations where consistent surface quality and predictable regrinding intervals matter, this configuration offers clear economic advantages while maintaining the required machining performance.

Secure clamping and straightforward replacement for production use

Designed with a cylindrical hole with single-side countersink (40°–60°), the insert ensures positive seating and repeatable location in compatible cutter bodies. The triangular 16 mm form factor and the clearly defined 60° geometry make indexing quick and unambiguous, shortening downtime during tool changes. Note that correct interaction between insert seat, geometry and cutter body is essential for reliable clamping and optimal cutting behaviour.

Purpose-built geometry and chip control for efficient milling

The single-sided chipbreaker and a 2 mm corner radius provide improved chip formation and stable cutting edges in finishing and medium-depth roughing applications. The relief angle of 7° supports smooth engagement and reduces rubbing on the trailing flank. Used as part of a compatible system, this insert helps to maintain consistent surface finish and reduces the incidence of built-up edge, especially in cyclic production runs.

Application guidance and system compatibility

This triangular insert is intended specifically for milling; typical tasks include face milling, shoulder milling, slotting, high-feed and contour profiling. The insert is supplied for use in Tungaloy milling systems — matching the insert seat and cutter body geometry is a technical requirement for safe and repeatable performance. For customers planning process optimisation, the combination of the T3225 grade and the insert’s geometry can deliver measurable increases in throughput and cost-efficiency.

FAQ

Which milling operations are suitable for this insert?
This TCMT 160620 T3225 insert is suitable for face milling, shoulder milling, slotting, high-feed and contour applications within compatible Tungaloy milling systems.

What materials can be machined with the T3225 grade?
The T3225 grade is formulated for a broad range of steels and common workshop materials; the carbide substrate provides wear resistance and edge stability for general milling operations.

How important is matching the insert to the cutter body?
Correct match of the insert seat, geometry and cutter body is critical; incorrect pairing can compromise clamping, repeatability and cutting performance for the TCMT160620 T3225 insert.

What benefit does the 2 mm corner radius deliver?
A 2 mm corner radius increases edge strength and helps to distribute cutting forces, reducing the risk of chipping during interrupted cuts or heavier engagement conditions.

Is the insert indexed and easy to replace during production?
Yes — the triangular form and the cylindrical hole with countersink ensure repeatable positioning and quick indexing, which reduces machine downtime during insert changes.
