TNMG 160408 T9235 – Tungaloy turning insert for ISO-standard turning

TNMG160408 T9235 is an ISO-standard triangular turning insert designed for external and internal turning in steel, optimised for interrupted cuts and less stable setups

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9235
• 60° triangular shape, 16 mm size
• 0.8 mm nose radius for finish
• Double-sided chipbreaker, with cylindrical hole

Reliable performance for steel turning with controlled wear

The insert uses a CVD-coated carbide substrate in grade T9235, selected for its toughness at lower cutting speeds and for operation in unstable setups. This combination yields a stable cutting edge and predictable wear behaviour, which translates into fewer tool changes and better process uptime. The coating improves abrasion resistance while the carbide core absorbs shock loads during interrupted cuts; as a result, the component life is extended and cycle times remain consistent. For users seeking measurable process stability, the insert provides a good balance between wear resistance and edge robustness.

Clear compatibility and secure clamping for straightforward mounting

As an ISO turning insert, compatibility with holders is governed by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixation method, size and thickness. The triangular 60° geometry and the cylindrical hole ensure secure clamping in standard TNMG-compatible holders, while the 4.76 mm plate thickness delivers sufficient rigidity for medium-duty turning. The double-sided chipbreaker allows reversal of the insert, reducing inventory and providing economical reuse of cutting edges. Specifying the correct holder and torque for the clamp secures repeatable positioning and concentricity in the tool system.

Practical productivity gains in everyday workshop use

The grade and chipbreaker pairing are intended to improve chip control and to perform reliably in interrupted or unstable cuts, making the insert a practical choice for mixed-batch production and repair jobs. The 0.8 mm nose radius supports a good surface finish without sacrificing edge strength, which helps reduce downstream finishing operations. Selecting this insert supports a rational, cost-focused machining strategy: fewer tool changes, predictable edge life and steady component quality. For material-specific optimisation, choose the appropriate chipbreaker and cutting parameters based on workpiece stability and machine rigidity.

FAQ

What is the primary material recommendation for this insert?
The Tungaloy TNMG 160408 T9235 insert is optimised for machining steel; the CVD-coated carbide composition supports toughness in interrupted cuts.

Can the insert be used on both external and internal turning operations?
Yes, the ISO TNMG geometry and the 60° triangle make the insert suitable for both external and internal turning tasks with appropriate holders.

How does the double-sided chipbreaker benefit workshop operations?
A double-sided chipbreaker permits indexing of the insert, effectively doubling usable cutting edges and reducing stocking requirements for the turning insert.

What clamping features should be checked before mounting?
Ensure holder compatibility with TNMG form, the 0° clearance specification, correct clamp torque and that the cylindrical hole aligns with the mating fastener for secure seating.

What is the manufacturer SKU for ordering reference?
Order reference: Manufacturer article number TUN6785953 or SKU 6785953-Tungaloy for the TNMG160408 T9235 turning insert.
