TNMG 160404 T9235 — Turning insert by Tungaloy, CVD-coated carbide, 60°

TNMG160404 T9235 indexable insert for general turning, optimised for steels and interrupted cuts

• CVD-coated carbide toughness
• Triangular insert, 60° included angle
• 0.4 mm corner radius for fine profiles
• Double-sided chipbreaker for extended use

Consistent performance where stability varies

The combination of a CVD-coated carbide substrate and the T9235 tough grade gives the insert a balance between wear resistance and edge strength. This makes the component particularly suitable for turning of steels where interrupted cuts or vibration-prone setups occur. The ISO-standard geometry ensures the insert seats reliably in compatible holders; compatibility depends on form, free clearance, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness, allowing clear assessment when preparing tool changes.

Faster setup and secure seating for efficient production

With a triangular shape and a central cylindrical hole, the design supports rapid indexing and secure clamping in the holder. The 60° included angle and 0.4 mm radius permit fine contouring while maintaining edge robustness, reducing the need for frequent part rework. Where changeovers must be quick, the straightforward system build—insert, matching external holder or boring bar, shim/clamp set and replacement screw—helps keep machine downtime to a minimum and supports repeatable results.

Predictable chip control and extended tool life

The double-sided chipbreaker geometry and the CVD coating together assist in stable chip formation and heat management during cutting, which contributes to longer in-service life and more consistent surface finishes. In less stable conditions, the tough carbide grade reduces chipping risk at the edge, helping to maintain process reliability. For applications requiring reproducible outcomes in interrupted or unstable cuts, this insert offers a pragmatic compromise between wear resistance and edge security.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for interrupted cuts in steel?
Yes. The TNMG160404 in T9235 grade is designed for steel turning where interrupted cuts or unstable conditions occur; the tough grade reduces chipping risk.

How is compatibility with holders determined?
Compatibility is based on form, free clearance, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness; ensure the holder matches the TNMG160404 ISO geometry before fitting.

Can the insert be indexed to use multiple cutting edges?
Yes. The triangular shape and double-sided chipbreaker permit indexing to additional edges, extending effective tool life.

What does the T9235 designation mean for cutting performance?
T9235 denotes a tough, CVD-coated carbide grade tailored for steel at lower cutting speeds and less stable machining, prioritising edge security over maximum wear resistance.

Which spare parts are typically required for a complete tool set-up?
A matching external holder or boring bar, an appropriate shim/clamp set and replacement screws are the standard components needed alongside the insert.
