TCMT 16T308 T9215 — ISO turning insert (TCMT series) by Tungaloy

The TCMT 16T308 T9215 is an ISO‑standard triangular indexable insert designed for general turning of medium steels, combining CVD‑coated carbide performance with a robust geometry for continuous to light interrupted cuts.

• ISO-compliant triangular insert 16 mm
• CVD-coated carbide grade T9215
• 0.8 mm corner radius, 7° relief angle
• With cylindrical hole and single-sided countersink

Engineered for productive medium-steel turning

The insert is specified as a CVD‑coated carbide grade T9215, offering a deliberate balance between wear resistance and fracture toughness. This composition supports higher cutting speeds and sustained cycle times, translating into higher productivity on long runs. The combination of the coating and the substrate reduces flank and crater wear, so the cutting edge remains stable for longer periods during continuous and lightly interrupted turning. Technical users will recognise that the grade is aimed at middle-range steel machining where both tool life and edge integrity matter.

Secure mounting and geometry for consistent accuracy

Compatibility with holders is determined by form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness; the ISO designation ensures straightforward selection of a matching clamping system. The insert’s triangular form provides three usable edges per index, while the 0.8 mm corner radius and 7° relief angle deliver predictable contact conditions at the tool tip. The insert is supplied with a cylindrical hole and a single‑sided countersink (40°–60°) to guarantee reproducible seating and torque transmission in the pocket, reducing vibration and promoting repeatable part tolerances across batches.

Practical advantages on the shop floor

A single‑sided chipbreaker tailored to medium steels improves chip control and evacuation, lowering the risk of built‑up edge and workpiece surface defects. The plate thickness of 3.97 mm and the 16 mm size contribute to rigidity in the tool assembly, which assists in maintaining surface finish and dimensional consistency. Specification as an ISO turning insert simplifies inventory and replacement procedures, and the insert’s design supports straightforward indexing to a fresh cutting edge, helping to limit machine downtime and improve overall process efficiency.
