KNMX 160405 T9315 ISO turning insert for turning — Tungaloy

A KNMX160405 T9315 indexable insert designed for ISO‑standard turning applications, engineered for reliable edge stability in external and internal turning.

• Tungaloy T9315 grade for wear resistance
• ISO‑standard KNMX 160405 geometry
• Parallelogram shape for stable cutting
• 0.5 mm corner radius and 55° cutting angle

Stable clamping and predictable chip control for efficient machining

The parallelogram plate form and 55° main cutting angle combine to provide stable seating in compatible holders, which reduces vibration and improves surface consistency during turning operations. The insert’s 0.5 mm corner radius supports robust engagement at the tool tip, helping to distribute cutting forces and extend edge life. The presence of a special chipbreaker and a special hole style influences chip formation; therefore, selecting the correct holder and tightening method will maintain repeatable clamping and chip evacuation. This results in higher process reliability and fewer unscheduled tool changes.

Durable grade balancing wear resistance and edge toughness

The Tungaloy T9315 grade enhances the geometry by delivering a balanced mix of wear resistance, toughness and edge stability, which is particularly useful where mixed cutting conditions occur. Manufactured in carbide, the insert is tailored to retain a sharp cutting edge while resisting thermal and mechanical wear during continuous turning. For shops seeking consistent tool life and predictable surface finish, the combination of grade and geometry reduces the necessity for frequent regrinding, thereby supporting productive batch work and tighter process windows.

System compatibility and straightforward process planning

Compatibility with turning holders follows ISO conventions: the holder must match the insert’s form, clearance angle (0°), tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The ISO code 160405 and the plate size 16 simplify procurement and tooling planning across standard toolholders. Given the insert’s design for both external and internal turning, planning setups becomes more efficient when the correct clamp and screw are used. The insert’s specifications enable shops to standardise inventory and streamline tool changes, contributing to reduced setup times and improved shopfloor throughput.

FAQ

What turning operations is this insert intended for? This insert is intended for ISO‑standard external and internal turning; the geometry and chipbreaker accommodate common turning tasks when paired with the appropriate holder.

How does the T9315 grade affect tool life? The Tungaloy T9315 grade provides a balance of wear resistance and toughness, which improves edge stability and yields more consistent tool life under variable cutting conditions.

Which dimensions are important when selecting a holder? Key dimensions are the ISO code 160405, plate size 16, clearance angle 0° and the parallelogram form; matching these with the holder’s form, tolerance class and fastening method ensures correct seating.

What is the corner radius and why does it matter? The corner radius is 0.5 mm; this radius helps distribute cutting forces at the tip, improving edge strength and contributing to a better surface finish in many turning applications.

Is the chipbreaker standard or customised? This insert features a special chipbreaker and a special hole style, so chip control characteristics differ from standard types and should be matched to the application and cutting parameters.
