TNMG160408 T9235 — Tungaloy TNMG turning insert, CVD-coated carbide, 60° triangle

TNMG160408 T9235 is an ISO-designated turning insert engineered for external and internal turning in steel, optimised for unstable cutting conditions

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9235
• For steel and interrupted cuts
• ISO TNMG 160408 triangular form
• Double-sided chipbreaker with hole

Consistent chip control for interrupted turning

The TNMG160408 T9235 insert is designed to deliver stable chip formation under interrupted or unstable cutting conditions. The CVD coating increases wear resistance at the cutting edge while the underlying carbide substrate provides toughness, so the insert resists chipping during heavier interruptions. This combination translates into fewer unexpected tool changes and more consistent part quality, which supports higher process reliability and less rework.

ISO compatibility simplifies tooling logistics and set-up

Standardised designation and geometry reduce uncertainty in toolholder selection. The ISO TNMG160408 form with a 60° cutting edge, 0° clearance and 4.76 mm thickness fits a wide range of standard external holders; the presence of a cylindrical mounting hole aids secure clamping. The corner radius 0.8 mm offers a balance between edge strength and surface finish. As a result, workshop organisation is streamlined, setup times are shorter and spare-part management becomes more efficient.

Match grade and chipbreaker to secure process stability

The T9235 grade is a tougher, CVD-coated option intended for steel machining at lower cutting speeds where intermittent cuts or vibration are present. The double-sided chipbreaker gives flexibility for turning strategies and can help control chip form in medium to roughing operations. Choosing the correct chipbreaker and grade reduces the risk of built-up edge and premature wear, leading to longer in-service life and predictable component tolerances — qualities that contribute to both operational confidence and cost-efficient production.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for? This insert with T9235 grade and CVD coating is optimised for machining steel and performs well under interrupted cutting typical in steel turning.

Is the TNMG160408 compatible with standard ISO holders? Yes, the TNMG160408 designation indicates ISO compatibility; compatibility depends on holder form, tolerance class, fastening and size.

What benefit does the double-sided chipbreaker provide? The double-sided chipbreaker on this Tungaloy insert allows switching between cutting edges and helps control chip form in medium to roughing turning operations.

How does the CVD coating affect tool life? The CVD coating on the T9235 grade increases wear resistance and supports edge integrity during lower-speed, interrupted cuts, extending in-service life for the insert.
