TNMG160404 T9225 — ISO turning insert for turning, CVD-coated carbide, Tungaloy

The TNMG160404 T9225 is an ISO-indexable triangular insert engineered for medium-to-heavy steel turning, offering robust cutting performance and reliable chip control for demanding workshop operations.

• ISO triangular 60° insert TNMG 160404
• CVD-coated carbide grade T9225
• Double-sided chipbreaker for stable cuts
• 0.4 mm corner radius for reliable edge life

Increased cutting stability for variable cutting conditions

The CVD-coated carbide composition and the T9225 grade combine to provide a balance of wear resistance and toughness that is particularly suited to medium-to-heavy steel machining. The CVD-coated carbide surface reduces abrasive wear and helps maintain cutting-edge geometry over longer cycles, while the substrate toughness helps absorb shocks during slightly interrupted cuts. This results in improved process consistency and fewer unplanned tool changes, which supports higher overall productivity in batch and single-piece production alike. Compatibility with the toolholder is determined by insert form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness, ensuring predictable integration into standard ISO turning systems.

Practical gains for workshop throughput and surface quality

A double-sided chipbreaker design offers practical advantages: enhanced chip control reduces re-cutting, stabilises cutting forces and contributes to a better surface finish on the component. The triangular geometry with a 60° included angle and a 0.4 mm corner radius supports both external and internal turning tasks, giving flexibility across a range of part diameters and edge requirements. Reduced downtimes for tool changeover and simple indexability mean the machining cell benefits from consistent cycle times, while the chipforming geometry eases chip evacuation in typical turning setups, improving operator safety and machine cleanliness.

Robust grade and simple system integration for reliable results

The robust universal grade is designed for application where changing engagement or light interruptions demand enhanced edge strength and repeatable performance. The insert’s triangular shape and the inclusion of a cylindrical locating hole ensure secure clamping and positional accuracy when assembled with a matching external holder, shim and clamp set. For users transitioning between workpiece materials or adjusting cutting data, the ISO indexable format simplifies reconditioning: replacing or indexing the insert restores original geometry without adjusting the holder. The result is a cost-effective approach to maintaining precision and minimising process variation during turning operations.
