TPMT 16T308 T9215 – ISO triangular turning insert (60°), CVD-coated carbide by Tungaloy

The TPMT 16T308 T9215 is an ISO-format triangular insert engineered for turning operations, offering a balance of abrasion resistance and breakage safety for efficient medium-steel machining.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9215
• Engineered for continuous to light interrupted cuts
• 60° triangular insert with 0.8 mm corner radius
• ISO-compatible with centre hole and countersink

Consistent performance for medium-steel turning

The insert delivers dependable cutting results through its CVD-coated surface and a carbide substrate formulated as T9215, which combines high wear resistance with good fracture toughness. This composition reduces flank wear under sustained cutting conditions, enabling longer tool life and fewer indexings per component lot. As a result, process stability is improved and machining cycles remain predictable, which supports higher throughput in series turning and helps maintain dimensional consistency on turned parts.

Secure seating and repeatable set-up for indexable tooling

Designed as a 60° triangular insert with a 0.8 mm corner radius, the geometry provides a robust cutting edge for typical turning profiles while still allowing accessible corner relief for form work. The plate thickness of 3.97 mm and the central hole — a cylindrical bore with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°) — ensure reliable clamping in ISO holders, reducing movement and runout during operation. The ISO conformity of the series simplifies tool inventory and replacement procedures, shortening machine downtime during tool changes and enabling consistent clamping behaviour across compatible toolholders.

Chip control and productivity advantages in routine production

Equipped with the TSF chipbreaker, the insert is tuned for controlled chip flow on medium steels, aiding evacuation at moderate feeds and cutting speeds. For operators less familiar with coatings: a CVD layer is deposited to enhance abrasion protection while preserving edge integrity, which particularly benefits continuous cuts and light interruptions. The overall design supports a productive balance — lower frequency of insert changes and fewer interruptions — contributing to improved component quality and operational efficiency.
