TNMG 160408 T9215 — Tungaloy triangular turning insert, CVD-coated carbide, 60°

The TNMG160408 T9215 is an ISO triangular turning insert designed for external and internal turning, offering a robust CVD-coated carbide grade optimised for medium-steel machining.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9215
• 60° triangular insert for versatile turning
• 0.8 mm nose radius for accurate profiling
• Cylindrical hole, double-sided chipbreaker

Engineered for steady productivity with medium steels

The insert is manufactured from carbide with a CVD coating and the T9215 grade, combining high wear resistance with dependable breakage resistance for continuous to slightly interrupted cuts. This material-and-coating combination reduces flank wear and extends tool life under stable machining conditions, which translates into fewer tool changes and higher throughput. Where surface finish and repeatability matter, the coated carbide provides consistent machining results even during longer production runs, making it suitable for batch production and single-piece flows alike.

Precise geometry for repeatable dimensional accuracy

The ISO triangular geometry with a 60° included angle and a 0.8 mm nose radius supports accurate profile turning and small-radius features. The insert is double-sided with a cylindrical hole, enabling indexable use and simplified inventory handling. Compatibility with a holder depends on form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness, so correct pairing with a matching external holder or boring bar is essential. These geometric features ensure stable cutting forces and predictable chip formation, which benefits cycle-time planning and surface quality control.

Practical system setup and recommended applications

As part of a typical system assembly the insert works together with a matching external holder or boring bar, a shim/clamp, and replacement screws for secure fixation. The chipbreaker selection and grade choice should be matched to the workpiece material, the type of turning operation and the machine setup: the double-sided chipbreaker and T9215 grade favour medium-carbon and alloy steels in general turning tasks. For interrupted cuts or unstable setups, choose a chipbreaker and cutting data that prioritise edge strength. The insert supports both external and internal turning tasks and is most effective when the cutting parameters reflect the workpiece rigidity and machining strategy.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The Tungaloy TNMG160408 T9215 insert is optimised for medium steels and delivers a balance of wear resistance and edge strength suitable for continuous to slightly interrupted cutting.

Can this insert be used on internal boring bars?
Yes, the triangular ISO geometry and cylindrical hole allow use in compatible boring bars; ensure holder form, clearance and fastening match the insert dimensions.

How does the T9215 grade affect tool life?
The T9215 CVD-coated grade improves wear resistance and reduces flank wear under steady cutting conditions, extending useful tool life in medium-steel machining.

Is the chipbreaker suitable for unstable cuts?
The double-sided chipbreaker offers good chip control for general turning; for significantly interrupted cuts or unstable setups, select a chipbreaker and cutting data prioritising edge robustness.
