KNMX 160405 T9315 Parallelogram turning insert, Tungaloy

The KNMX 160405 T9315 is an ISO-standard turning insert intended for external and internal turning, engineered to combine a robust Tungaloy grade with a compact parallelogram geometry for stable cutting performance.

• ISO-standard parallelogram insert
• Tungaloy T9315 grade for wear resistance
• 0.5 mm corner radius for controlled finish
• Suited to external and internal turning

Consistent ISO compatibility reduces setup uncertainty

The ISO-standard design ensures that the insert fits into established holder systems when form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness are matched. This indexed geometry simplifies inventory management and reduces machine downtime because inserts are interchangeable within the ISO family. For production environments seeking predictable tool changes, the standardised form contributes directly to shorter tool-change cycles and improved process reliability.

Grade and geometry tailored for balanced edge life and toughness

The integrated Tungaloy T9315 grade supplements the insert geometry with a balance of wear resistance, toughness and cutting-edge stability. This composition is intended for general turning tasks where a combination of abrasive wear protection and edge robustness is required. The 0.5 mm corner radius helps to distribute cutting forces, improving surface finish and reducing the risk of edge chipping under moderate interruptions, while the 55° approach angle supports controlled chip flow and accessibility in shoulder or profiling operations.

System approach for simple integration and secure fastening

The insert functions as part of a system comprising the indexable insert, a compatible external holder or boring bar, a support pad or clamping kit and replacement screws. A special hole style is specified, so compatibility depends on matching clamp hardware or a dedicated screw set; verify holder interface dimensions when planning a tool assembly. This system perspective ensures secure clamping, consistent seat repeatability and easier maintenance of the cutting edge over multiple indexings.

Practical selection guidance to improve productivity

When selecting an insert of this type, choose a chipbreaker and grade that match the workpiece material, the machining strategy and the setup stiffness; the right chip control reduces heat and improves surface integrity. The parallelogram shape offers flexible orientation for various turning tasks, while the carbide substrate provides the hardness necessary for sustained cutting. For shops aiming to raise throughput with stable results, this insert supports repeatable machining cycles with predictable tool life.

FAQ

What turning operations is this insert intended for? The KNMX 160405 T9315 insert is designed for both external and internal turning operations where a balance of wear resistance and edge stability is required.

How does the 0.5 mm corner radius affect the machining result? A 0.5 mm corner radius on this Tungaloy insert helps to distribute cutting forces, supporting a finer surface finish and reducing the likelihood of edge chipping under common turning conditions.

Is the insert compatible with standard holders? Compatibility depends on holder form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; ensure the holder matches the KNMX 160405 geometry and the special hole style before assembly.

What benefits does the T9315 grade provide? The T9315 grade complements the insert geometry by offering a combination of wear resistance, toughness and cutting-edge stability suitable for general turning applications.

Does the insert come with clamping hardware? The KNMX 160405 T9315 is supplied as the indexable insert; matching clamping kits, pads and screws are part of the complete tool assembly and should be procured to suit the holder interface.
