CNMG 160608 T9215 Turning insert — CVD-coated carbide, 0.8 mm corner radius (Tungaloy)

A CNMG160608 T9215 indexable turning insert designed for productive medium-steel turning and compatibility with ISO toolholders.

• CNMG form for broad ISO compatibility
• CVD-coated carbide grade T9215
• 0.8 mm corner radius for robust edges
• Double-sided chipbreaker for consistent chip control

High-productivity turning for medium steels

The grade combines CVD-coated carbide with an optimised substrate so the insert maintains wear resistance even under sustained cutting. This brings a clear production advantage: reduced regrinds and fewer tool changes, which supports higher productivity in continuous to lightly interrupted turning operations. The coating provides thermal and abrasive protection, while the substrate balances toughness and hardness so the cutting edge resists both flank wear and chipping.

Stable geometry for reliable surface quality

The rhombic CNMG form with a 0° clearance and a 0.8 mm corner radius delivers predictable tool behaviour and a surface finish that is stable across serial production. Neutral clearance geometry helps in general turning applications and contributes to repeatable chip formation, while the moderate corner radius increases edge strength without compromising accuracy. The combination of shape, tolerance and fastening dimensions makes this insert compatible with a wide range of ISO holders.

Practical compatibility and easy handling in the workshop

As an indexable insert with a double-sided chipbreaker, the component offers economical use of cutting edges and fast indexing during servicing. The 6.35 mm thickness and cylindrical hole ensure secure clamping and reliable location in appropriate clamping sets. The ISO designation simplifies stocking and holder selection: an insert, suitable holder, a shim/clamp set and replacement screws form a complete system for efficient turning processes.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The CNMG160608 T9215 insert is formulated for medium steel machining; the CVD-coated carbide grade T9215 combines wear resistance and toughness suitable for productive steel turning.

Can the insert be used on interrupted cuts?
Yes, the T9215 grade and the rhombic geometry tolerate light interruptions; however, machining strategy and holder rigidity should match the cutting conditions to avoid shock loads on the insert.

How is the insert clamped in the holder?
The insert features a cylindrical hole for secure fastening; it is located and clamped in the matching ISO-compatible holder with the appropriate shim or clamp set.

Is the chip control suitable for serial production?
The double-sided chipbreaker offers consistent chip formation and repeatable behaviour, supporting stable surface quality in serial turning operations.

What identifiers help when reordering this insert?
Use the ISO designation CNMG160608, grade T9215 and the manufacturer SKU TUN6780197 to ensure correct reordering of the Tungaloy insert.
