TNMG 160404 T9235 turning insert (ISO) by Tungaloy — CVD-coated carbide, 0.4 mm corner radius

A TNMG160404 T9235 indexable turning insert for external and internal turning, engineered for interrupted cuts and unstable machining conditions

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9235
• Triangular 60° insert with cylindrical hole
• 0.4 mm corner radius for precise profiling
• Double-sided chipbreaker for interrupted cuts

Built for reliable interrupted turning and tougher steels

The insert combines a CVD-coated carbide substrate with the T9235 grade, a tough composition formulated for machining steel at lower cutting speeds and in less stable conditions. The triangular 60° geometry provides a secure seating and predictable rake interaction, while the double-sided chipbreaker improves chip control during intermittent cuts. These design choices reduce the risk of edge chipping and make the insert particularly suitable where stability is limited and robustness is required.

Clear guidance on compatibility and system assembly

This article belongs to the ISO indexable turning inserts series and fits systems where shape, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness match the holder. The insert features a cylindrical hole for positive clamping in compatible external holders or boring bars; the full working system typically comprises an insert, a corresponding holder or boring bar, a shim/clip, a clamping set and replacement screws. Selecting the correct chipbreaker and grade according to the workpiece material and machine stability enables consistent results and simplifies setup.

Process advantages: longer edge life and predictable performance

Using a wear-resistant grade such as T9235 yields a balance between toughness and wear resistance that pays off in reduced downtime and fewer indexings. The 0.4 mm corner radius supports precise profile generation and helps maintain surface quality under interrupted engagement. Overall, the configuration aims to deliver stable edge life, improved chip control and repeatable outcomes — benefits that contribute to higher productivity and lower total machining cost in demanding turning tasks.
