TNMG 160404 T9235 Turning Insert – Tungaloy (ISO triangular, 60°)

The TNMG160404 T9235 is an ISO triangular turning insert designed for external and internal turning, offering a robust cutting geometry for interrupted cuts and unstable machining conditions.

• ISO triangular insert, 60° geometry
• CVD-coated carbide grade T9235
• 0.4 mm corner radius for versatile profiles
• Double-sided chipbreaker, cylindrical hole

Proven performance under interrupted and unstable cutting

The triangular geometry with a 60° included angle delivers a stable cutting edge that is particularly effective for interrupted cuts and less rigid setups. The combination of the plate form and a 0.4 mm corner radius reduces the risk of edge chipping while enabling a consistent profile on turned workpieces. For production environments that require predictable cycle times, this indexable insert provides a balance between durability and form fidelity, helping to maintain component tolerances with fewer tool changes.

Longer operation through CVD coating and material choice

The CVD-coated carbide composition of grade T9235 has been selected for applications in steel where toughness is needed at moderated cutting speeds. The coating improves wear resistance and helps to stabilise the cutting edge under variable cutting forces, extending tool life and reducing unplanned downtime. Explained plainly, the coating acts as a protective layer that slows abrasive wear and maintains a sharper edge for longer, which translates into fewer indexings and more consistent component quality.

Clear compatibility and straightforward mounting

Compatibility with a holder is defined by form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness; the insert is supplied with a cylindrical hole to suit common clamping systems and is double-sided, allowing economical reversal when one edge is expended. The plate thickness of 4.76 mm and the 16 mm inscribed circle size make the insert suitable for a wide range of ISO-compatible external holders and boring bars. This clarity of system build-up simplifies inventory and reduces the time needed for correct tool selection.

Reliable choice for steel turning and shop-floor productivity

Designed primarily for machining steel, the insert’s tough substrate and chip control characteristics offer a pragmatic solution where cut interruptions or less rigid fixturing are frequent. The indexed design supports quick replacement without regrinding, promoting steady throughput in batch production. When paired with a correctly matched holder and chipbreaker selection, the insert contributes to reproducible surface finish and consistent component quality across runs.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The TNMG160404 T9235 insert is formulated primarily for steel machining; its T9235 CVD-coated carbide substrate provides toughness for interrupted and unstable cutting conditions.

How does the T9235 coating affect tool life?
The CVD coating on the Tungaloy TNMG160404 T9235 reduces abrasive wear and helps maintain edge integrity, resulting in longer tool life and more consistent surface finish under variable cutting forces.

Is the insert reversible and how is it mounted?
This triangular insert is double-sided and features a cylindrical hole for standard clamping; reversal is possible after using one cutting edge, allowing economical use of all available edges.

Which holders are compatible with this ISO plate?
Compatibility depends on holder form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and plate thickness; the TNMG160404 follows ISO conventions to ensure broad compatibility with ISO-compatible external holders and boring bars.

What corner radius and plate thickness should be expected?
The insert has a 0.4 mm corner radius and a plate thickness of 4.76 mm, offering a balance between profile definition and edge strength for general turning tasks.
