CNMG 160608 T9235 Turning insert (ISO CNMG, CVD-coated carbide) by Tungaloy

The CNMG160608 T9235 is a rhombic ISO-indexed turning insert designed for general turning of steel, offering a neutral 0° clearance and double-sided chipbreaker for improved chip control in interrupted and unstable cuts.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9235
• Double-sided chipbreaker design
• 0° clearance angle for neutral geometry

Precise chip control for interrupted and unstable turning

The insert's double-sided chipbreaker is engineered to secure reliable chip formation even under interrupted cuts and unstable conditions. By guiding the chip away from the cutting zone, the insert reduces the risk of re-cutting and tool damage, which translates into more predictable cycle times and fewer secondary operations. Advantages such as easier chip evacuation and lower tendency to form long, entangling chips are particularly relevant for shops facing variable workpiece stability or frequent step changes.

Robust CVD-coated carbide for steel machining

A CVD-coated carbide substrate is specified for the T9235 grade, providing a tough cutting edge that performs well at lower cutting speeds and under adverse process conditions. The coating increases surface hardness and wear resistance while the tough substrate maintains edge stability; together these characteristics prolong service life and help preserve component surface quality. This makes the insert especially suitable where interrupted cutting or lower speed strategies are chosen to protect the workpiece or to manage heat input.

Compatibility and system integration for fast changeovers

Compatibility is determined by insert form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness; the ISO designation ensures interchangeability with matching CNMG holders and boring bars. The insert is supplied with a cylindrical hole for secure clamping, and its rhombic shape with an 80° included angle offers a balance between strength and accessibility in external and internal turning. Replacement is straightforward and repeatable, supporting short tool-change cycles and consistent part accuracy.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The CNMG160608 T9235 insert is designed primarily for machining steel, with the T9235 grade optimised for tougher conditions and lower cutting speeds.

How does the chipbreaker affect machining stability?
The double-sided chipbreaker on the insert improves chip control and evacuation, which enhances stability during interrupted cuts and reduces the chance of chip-related surface defects.

How is compatibility with holders ensured?
Compatibility depends on insert form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness; matching CNMG holders and clamping systems are required for correct mounting.

What benefits does the CVD coating provide?
The CVD coating increases surface hardness and wear resistance while the tough carbide substrate preserves edge integrity, together improving tool life and consistent surface finish.
