TNMG 160408 T9235 turning insert — Tungaloy indexable insert for turning

The TNMG160408 T9235 is an ISO‑standard indexable insert designed for general turning, offering a robust carbide grade for steel under unstable conditions and interrupted cuts.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9235
• Robust in interrupted and unstable cuts
• ISO‑standard TNMG 160408 form
• Double-sided chipbreaker and cylindrical hole

Stable cutting in challenging turning operations

The CVD-coated carbide grade T9235 delivers a balance of toughness and wear resistance, making this insert especially suited to turning operations in steel where speeds are moderate and conditions may be unstable. The coating enhances edge security and reduces crater wear, which preserves dimensional accuracy and extends tool life. Choosing a tougher grade reduces the risk of premature chipping during interrupted cuts, so machining continuity and productivity are maintained even when the cut is not constant.

Fast fit and predictable tool changeover in ISO systems

Designed as an ISO-standard insert, the geometry and dimensions follow established norms so compatibility with a matching holder depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, mounting and thickness. The triangular plate form with a cylindrical hole and defined clearance angle of 0° simplifies mechanical seating and repeatable positioning. This standardisation reduces setup time, lowers inventory complexity and helps maintain stable process parameters across production batches.

Geometry tuned for surface quality and process stability

A 0.8 mm corner radius and included angle of 60° give a compromise between strength and cutting edge sharpness: larger radii improve edge robustness and contribute to tool life, while controlled geometry supports consistent surface finish. The double-sided chipbreaker helps segment and curl chips, improving evacuation and reducing the likelihood of entanglement in unstable conditions. With a plate thickness of 4.76 mm, the insert provides the stiffness required for medium‑duty turning while remaining easy to index and replace.

Application guidance and material suitability

Optimised for turning, this insert performs best in steel applications at reduced cutting speeds or where interrupted cuts occur. Select the chipbreaker style and holder rigidity to match the workpiece material and machine stability: the right combination yields improved cycle times and lower overall tooling costs. If uncertainty remains about suitability or cutting data, technical advice is available — Metav Werkzeuge can provide tailored recommendations and supplementary machining parameters to align the insert’s strengths with the application.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The TNMG160408 T9235 insert is formulated for machining steel, especially where a tough grade is required for interrupted or unstable cuts.

How does the chipbreaker help in turning operations?
The double-sided chipbreaker on this insert controls chip form and evacuation, which improves surface finish and reduces the risk of chip-related interruptions during turning.

Which dimensions define fitment to a holder?
Fitment depends on the insert’s form, inscribed circle (16 mm), thickness (4.76 mm), hole style (cylindrical hole) and clearance angle (0°); these parameters determine compatibility with ISO holders.

Is this an indexable insert suitable for ISO tooling systems?
Yes, the TNMG160408 follows ISO norms for turning inserts, enabling predictable indexing and straightforward replacement in compliant holders.

Where can cutting-data advice and supply be obtained?
Technical recommendations and supply can be arranged through Metav Werkzeuge; contact their consultants for cutting parameters matched to the Tungaloy TNMG160408 T9235.
