TNMG 160404 T9235 Turning Insert (Tungaloy) — CVD-coated carbide, 0.4 mm radius

The TNMG160404 T9235 is an ISO-standard triangular turning insert tailored for external and internal turning of steel, engineered to perform in interrupted and less stable cutting conditions.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9235
• Designed for steel and interrupted cuts
• TNMG160404 ISO triangular insert
• 0.4 mm corner radius, double-sided chipbreaker

High toughness for interrupted and unstable turning

The CVD-coated carbide T9235 offers a balance of toughness and wear resistance that is particularly beneficial for turning steel where interruptions or unstable clamps occur. The CVD-coated carbide microstructure increases fracture resistance compared with uncoated grades, so the insert sustains edge integrity under varying loads. For machining operations with frequent engagement and disengagement of the cutting edge, this grade reduces the risk of premature chipping while maintaining acceptable wear behaviour at moderate cutting speeds.

Predictable seating and repeatable orientation for process reliability

Built to the ISO-standard TNMG160404 geometry, the insert ensures consistent orientation and clamping in compatible holders. The defined 0° relief angle and standardised form, size and thickness simplify selection of external holders or boring bars and support repeatable set-up. Predictable seating shortens set-up checks and reduces variability between tool changes, contributing to more consistent component tolerances and fewer machine stops for adjustment.

System-ready design that simplifies tooling choices

The triangular geometry with a 0.4 mm corner radius and double-sided chipbreaker provides a versatile profile for finishing and light roughing in steel. The insert is designed to work as part of a system — an ISO turning insert plus a matching external holder or boring bar, a suitable seating/clamping kit and spare screws — so workshop integration is straightforward. Selecting the appropriate chipbreaker and grade for the workpiece material and machine stability will optimise chip control and surface quality while extending tool life.

FAQ

How is holder compatibility determined for this insert?
Compatibility depends on the holder form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; the TNMG160404 T9235 insert requires a matching ISO TNMG seat and clamping arrangement for correct orientation.

Which materials is this grade optimised for?
The T9235 grade is engineered as a tough CVD-coated carbide for machining steel, especially where interrupted cuts or less stable conditions occur.

Is the chipbreaker usable on both sides of the insert?
The insert features a double-sided chipbreaker; where holder geometry permits, both sides can be employed to maximise lifetime while maintaining chip control.

What cutting conditions suit this insert best?
The grade is intended for lower to moderate cutting speeds when toughness is required; it excels in operations with interrupted engagement and variable cutting forces.

What does the 0° relief angle mean for set-up and performance?
A 0° relief angle provides a standardised seating geometry that improves repeatable orientation in compatible holders, helping to reduce setup variance and maintain consistent cutting conditions.
