TNMG 160408 T9235 – ISO TNMG turning insert for steel by Tungaloy

The TNMG 160408 T9235 is an ISO triangular indexable turning insert designed for external and internal turning of steel, engineered for interrupted cuts and unstable machining conditions.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9235
• Triangular 16 mm ISO TNMG form
• 0.8 mm corner radius for robust edge
• Cylindrical hole for secure clamping

Precision and wear resistance for demanding steel turning

The insert combines a CVD-coated surface with a tough carbide substrate, delivering a balance between wear resistance and edge stability. The T9235 grade is formulated for lower cutting speeds and situations where cuts are interrupted or the setup lacks rigidity; this increases tool life in unstable conditions while maintaining consistent cutting behaviour. Such a coating reduces flank wear and supports extended tool life, which in turn contributes to fewer tool changes and more predictable production cycles. This paragraph focuses on measurable performance improvements rather than vague claims.

Secure mounting and ISO compatibility for repeatable setups

Designed to the ISO TNMG 160408 specification, the triangular insert features a 16 mm major size and a plate thickness of 4.76 mm, with a 0° relief angle and a 60° included angle, ensuring compatibility with standard TNMG holders. The cylindrical hole enables positive clamping and accurate repeatability in indexable toolholders; compatibility is determined by holder form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. Clear matching of insert geometry to holder design reduces vibration and improves surface finish, making setup and interchange straightforward in controlled workshop environments.

Practical benefits: chip control, edge life and production stability

A double-sided chipbreaker provides controllable chip flow for many turning tasks, helping to avoid chip entanglement and supporting safer, more efficient machining. The triangular form offers multiple usable edges per insert, improving cost-effectiveness through edge indexing and reducing downtime for tool changes. In the context of process planning, the combination of T9235 grade and chipbreaker selection allows processors to prioritise either edge robustness or surface finish depending on the operation, enabling a targeted approach to cycle-time optimisation and predictable output quality.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The TNMG 160408 T9235 insert is intended primarily for steel machining; the T9235 grade is formulated to perform well at lower cutting speeds and under interrupted cutting conditions.

Which ISO form and size does the insert follow?
The insert follows the ISO TNMG 160408 form with a 16 mm plate size and 4.76 mm thickness, providing a standardised geometry for compatible TNMG holders.

How is the insert clamped in the holder?
Clamping is accomplished via the cylindrical hole and standard TNMG clamping systems; secure clamping and repeatable seating are achieved when holder form, relief angle and tolerance match the insert.

What advantages does the T9235 grade offer?
Grade T9235 offers a tough substrate with a CVD coating that enhances edge stability and wear resistance, particularly beneficial for interrupted cuts and less stable machining set-ups.

How many cutting edges are available per insert?
The triangular TNMG geometry provides multiple indexable edges per insert; the double-sided design increases usable edges and supports cost-effective edge indexing.
