SNMG090304-TM T9235 Tungaloy — ISO turning indexable insert (square, 90°)

SNMG090304-TM T9235 Tungaloy is an ISO‑standard indexable turning insert designed for general steel turning, offering a CVD‑coated carbide grade and a TM chipbreaker for interrupted or unstable cuts

• CVD‑coated carbide grade T9235
• Optimised for steel turning applications
• 0.4 mm nose radius for refined profiles
• ISO SNMG090304 format with cylindrical hole

Consistent cutting performance under unstable conditions

The CVD‑coated carbide grade T9235 is formulated for toughness rather than maximum speed, which reduces the risk of chipping and breakage when machining steel under variable conditions. In practice, this means more reliable tool life during operations with interrupted cuts or when machine rigidity is limited. By choosing a tougher grade and a purpose‑matched chipbreaker, the tool sustains cutting forces and maintains a stable cutting edge, delivering predictable component quality and fewer unplanned tool changes.

Simple integration with ISO toolholders and robust clamping

The SNMG geometry is an ISO‑standard square insert with a cylindrical hole, which ensures compatibility with a wide range of commercial turning holders when the form, clearance angle, tolerance class, mounting, size and thickness match. The insert’s 0° clearance and 3.18 mm plate thickness support secure seating; the 90° lead angle allows efficient shoulder and external turning. Knowing these parameters helps to select the correct holder and clamping set quickly, reducing setup time and simplifying inventory management for production environments.

Cost‑effective productivity and selection guidance

The TM chipbreaker paired with the T9235 grade is intended for general‑purpose steel turning at lower cutting speeds, offering a balance between surface finish and tool life. For many workshops, this insert reduces scrap and downtime thanks to its predictable wear behaviour and stable chip control. When specifying tooling, match the chipbreaker and grade to the workpiece material, machining stability and desired surface finish. For tailored recommendations, rely on technical consultation to determine optimum feed and speed values for each component family.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The SNMG090304‑TM with T9235 grade is optimised for machining steel, particularly where lower cutting speeds, interrupted cuts or unstable setups are encountered.

How does the TM chipbreaker influence performance?
The TM chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation in steel turning; in combination with the T9235 grade the insert provides reliable chip control and reduced edge chipping.

Which holder type is required for mounting this insert?
An ISO‑compatible turning holder sized for SNMG inserts and matched for form, clearance angle, tolerance, mounting and thickness is required to secure the SNMG090304‑TM correctly.

Can the SNMG090304‑TM be used for finishing passes?
Yes; when set with appropriate feeds and cutting speeds the combination of 0.4 mm nose radius and the T9235 grade can achieve satisfactory surface finishes on many steel components.

What is the manufacturer article number and identification?
The Tungaloy indexable insert is listed as article number 6785989 and has the SKU 6785989‑Tungaloy; the manufacturer SKU is TUN6785989.
