TNMG 160408 T9205 — TNMG indexable turning insert, CVD-coated carbide, 60° (Tungaloy)

A TNMG160408 T9205 indexable turning insert designed for productive external and internal turning of steel where stable conditions and higher cutting speeds are required

• ISO TNMG 160408 format, 60° triangle
• CVD-coated carbide grade T9205
• Double-sided insert with centre hole
• 0.8 mm corner radius, 4.76 mm thickness

Increase throughput with a wear-resistant CVD grade

The CVD-coated T9205 grade is developed for productive turning of steel under stable cutting conditions and at elevated speeds. The coating enhances resistance to abrasive wear and thermal loads, which translates into longer intervals between indexings and fewer interruptions on the shopfloor. For applications emphasising cycle time and consistent part quality, this carbide insert offers a measurable improvement in process stability and machining economy.

Reliable geometry for consistent surface quality

The triangular ISO TNMG geometry with a 60° included angle and a 0.8 mm corner radius provides predictable engagement and strength at the cutting edge. The 4.76 mm plate thickness and centre hole ensure secure clamping in compatible holders, reducing micro-movements that can impair surface finish. These geometric parameters contribute directly to repeatable part tolerance and improved component appearance when turning shafts, shoulders or internal features.

Practical compatibility and selection guidance

Compatibility with a chosen holder depends on form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The relief angle here is 0°, so pairing with the correct external or boring bar is essential for the intended cutting direction. Select the chipbreaker variant and grade according to the workpiece material, machining type and machine rigidity; the double-sided chipbreaker option maximises usable edges and supports cost-effective indexability under consistent feed and depth-of-cut regimes.

Fewer interruptions, better overall efficiency

By favouring a wear-resistant grade and an optimised insert geometry, workshops achieve lower tool consumption and reduced set-up frequency. The result is improved net machining time and a more predictable process window for batch production. Combined with standard ISO compatibility and a robust mounting concept, this insert helps maintain throughput and surface consistency, supporting both small-series shops and larger production environments that prioritise reliable, repeatable results.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The T9205 CVD-coated carbide insert is optimised for machining steel under stable conditions and higher cutting speeds; selection for other materials should follow compatibility checks.

How many cutting edges are available per insert?
With a triangular, double-sided design the insert offers multiple indexable edges before disposal, depending on wear and application.

Which holder features are required for secure clamping?
Compatibility depends on form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening type, size and thickness; ensure the holder matches the ISO TNMG format and the 4.76 mm plate thickness.

Is this insert suitable for internal and external turning?
Yes, the geometry and centre hole mounting allow use in both external turning and boring bars designed for the TNMG format.

What benefits does the CVD coating provide?
The CVD coating on grade T9205 increases resistance to abrasive and thermal wear, supporting longer cutting life and more consistent part quality.
