TNMG160408 T9235 TNMG indexable insert for turning — CVD-coated carbide, 0.8 mm radius (Tungaloy)

The TNMG160408 T9235 is an ISO-standard triangular indexable insert engineered for turning operations, designed to handle steel machining where toughness and interrupted cuts are common.

• CVD-coated carbide for enhanced toughness
• Triangle 16 mm plate with 60° included angle
• 0.8 mm corner radius, 4.76 mm thickness
• Double-sided chipbreaker with cylindrical hole

Durability and cutting reliability for unstable conditions

The T9235 grade is a CVD-coated carbide developed to deliver toughness during lower cutting speeds and in less stable setups. The coating enhances resistance to flank wear while the substrate provides a robust fracture-resistant cutting edge, which reduces unscheduled tool changes. For shops facing interrupted cuts or variable clamping stiffness, this combination gives a predictable tool life and helps maintain part quality even when the process cannot be fully stabilised. The 0.8 mm corner radius supports edge strength for heavier engagement, balancing edge life and finish.

Predictable fitment and simple toolholder integration

Supplied in the ISO TNMG160408 format, the insert matches existing ISO-compatibility criteria — form, clearance, tolerance class, fastening and thickness all determine correct seating in the holder. The cylindrical hole and standard 60° triangle form ensure secure clamping and repeatable positioning across compatible external holders or boring bars. Clear mechanical compatibility reduces setup time and minimises indexing errors, which in turn improves process uptime and reproducibility on the shop floor.

Cost-effective productivity through indexable design

A triangular insert offers three usable cutting edges, and the double-sided chipbreaker extends effective edge life by providing two functional faces per index. Re-indexing rather than regrinding saves both time and expense, improving the cost-per-part metric. With a 4.76 mm plate thickness and a 16 mm inscribed circle, the insert provides structural rigidity that supports stable chip formation and surface finish under the recommended cutting regimes. For manufacturing teams seeking a balance of life, reliability and easy edge restoration, this indexable solution is optimised for productive turning of steel.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The TNMG160408 T9235 insert is specified for machining steel, with the T9235 grade optimised for tougher, interrupted cuts at moderate cutting speeds.

How does the CVD coating benefit machining performance?
The CVD-coated carbide layer increases resistance to abrasive wear and helps maintain flank integrity, which results in longer effective cutting life and more consistent surface finish with the TNMG160408 T9235 insert.

Can this insert be used in existing ISO TNMG holders?
Yes, the insert follows ISO TNMG dimensions and secures via a cylindrical hole; compatibility depends on holder form, clearance, tolerance and fastening, so confirm those parameters before fitment.

How many cutting edges are available per insert?
Thanks to the triangular shape and double-sided chipbreaker, the insert offers multiple usable edges through indexing, improving cost efficiency per edge.
