TNMG160408 T9235 indexable turning insert — Tungaloy for turning, CVD-coated carbide, triangular 16 mm

TNMG160408 T9235 is a triangular ISO indexable turning insert developed for general external and internal turning where robustness under interrupted cuts and unstable setups is required.

• CVD-coated carbide T9235
• Triangular 16 mm ISO insert
• Double-sided chipbreaker
• 0.8 mm corner radius
• With cylindrical hole for secure clamping

Reliable performance for unstable conditions and interrupted cuts

The insert is supplied in a triangular ISO format with a 60° included angle and a 0.8 mm corner radius, making it particularly suited to operations where interrupted cuts or machine instability are present. The T9235 grade is a CVD-coated carbide designed to sustain a tougher cutting edge at lower cutting speeds; this means improved resistance to chipping and stable chip formation, which reduces rework and tool changes. The coated substrate also helps maintain a consistent surface finish when machining steel, translating into fewer machine stoppages and more predictable production cycles.

Simple holder compatibility and secure clamping reduce setup time

Compatibility with toolholders is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness; the TNMG160408 uses a cylindrical hole for positive locating and secure clamping in standard ISO holders. The insert’s double-sided chipbreaker provides two usable cutting edges per side, extending indexable life and lowering tooling costs per part. Because the geometry and thickness conform to ISO norms, integration into existing tool systems is straightforward—holders, shim and screw sets common to ISO inserts can be used without special adaptations, reducing changeover time and simplifying inventory.

Grade and chipbreaker selection for productivity and surface quality

Selecting T9235 with its CVD layer is an intentional choice for tougher cutting tasks on steel where lower cutting speeds and intermittent cuts are expected; the result is improved edge robustness and repeatable performance. The double-sided chipbreaker supports chip control across a range of depths of cut, helping to avoid built-up edge and improving surface finish consistency. For operators seeking enhanced process reliability, the combination of geometry, grade and chipbreaker offers a balance of tool life and workpiece quality—optimised for productive turning rather than maximum speed.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for? The TNMG160408 T9235 insert is designed primarily for machining steel and performs well under interrupted cutting conditions thanks to its tough CVD-coated carbide grade.

How does the chipbreaker affect productivity? The double-sided chipbreaker on the TNMG160408 improves chip control and repeatability, which helps maintain surface quality and reduces tool-change frequency.

Is this insert compatible with standard ISO holders? Compatibility is ensured by matching form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness; the TNMG160408’s ISO geometry and cylindrical hole allow secure clamping in standard ISO toolholders.

How many cutting edges are available per insert? The triangular TNMG insert offers multiple usable edges due to its double-sided design; flipping and indexing extend the effective life before disposal.

Can this grade handle interrupted cuts or unstable setups? Yes — the T9235 grade is specifically formulated for tougher conditions, delivering stable edge life in interrupted cuts and less stable setups.
