TNMG160404 T9215 turning insert (TNMG 160404) for turning – Tungaloy

TNMG160404 T9215 is an ISO-standard triangular turning insert designed for productive external and internal turning of medium steel.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9215
• 60° triangular insert, 0.4 mm nose radius
• Double-sided chipbreaker, with central hole
• ISO-standard TNMG160404, thickness 4.76 mm

Boosted productivity for medium steel turning

The TNMG160404 T9215 combines a CVD-coated surface with a fine-grained carbide substrate to deliver high wear resistance and fracture resistance in the typical speed and feed ranges for medium steel. This insert is specified for continuous to light interrupted cuts, which means longer machining cycles with fewer index changes and improved component throughput. The hardened coating reduces flank and crater wear, translating directly into consistent dimensional accuracy and predictable tool change intervals — ideal where cycle time and reproducibility matter.

Secure cutting edge and consistent chip control

A double-sided chipbreaker and a precisely defined 0.4 mm nose radius promote stable chip formation and improved surface finish on turned parts. The chipbreaker geometry supports effective evacuation under a range of feeds, reducing the risk of re-cutting and workpiece damage. For parts where edge integrity and surface quality are decisive, the combination of the chip control features and the material behaviour of the grade ensures repeatable results and a longer interval between index rotations.

Simple integration with ISO tooling systems

As an ISO-standard triangular insert with a central cylindrical hole, this item is compatible with a wide range of holders when the form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness are matched. The plate thickness of 4.76 mm and triangle size of 16 mm make mounting straightforward in common external holders or boring bars designed for TNMG inserts. Specification-driven compatibility reduces setup time and avoids surprises at commissioning, supporting a smooth transfer from design to production.

Practical advantages for workshop decision-making

Choosing a CVD-coated carbide grade that balances wear resistance and toughness helps manage tooling costs across production runs. The insert’s design favours a stable cutting edge under typical shop-floor conditions, with benefits including reduced scrap, longer effective tool life and fewer interruptions for tool handling. For operations seeking reliable performance in steel turning without frequent retooling, the grade and geometry together represent a pragmatic, performance-focused option.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The TNMG160404 T9215 insert from Tungaloy is optimised for medium steel machining; the T9215 CVD coating balances wear resistance and toughness for continuous to light interrupted cuts.

Is the insert reversible or single-use per edge?
This triangular insert is double-sided with multiple cutting edges; the design allows index rotation to present fresh edges, extending the usable life of each insert.

How does the chipbreaker affect machining?
The double-sided chipbreaker on the TNMG160404 controls chip shape and evacuation, improving surface finish and reducing the chance of chip-related interruptions during turning operations.

Which holders are compatible with this insert?
Compatibility depends on holder form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening and size; the ISO-standard TNMG160404 fits holders designed for TNMG inserts when these parameters match.

What are the key dimensions to check before assembly?
Verify the triangle size (16 mm), thickness (4.76 mm), nose radius (0.4 mm) and central hole style (cylindrical) against the holder specifications and clamping set.
