WNMG 080416 T515 indexable insert for turning — trigon, CVD-coated carbide, Tungaloy

The WNMG080416-TH T515 is an ISO-standard trigon indexable insert for external and internal turning, engineered for efficient machining of cast iron with a dedicated TH chipbreaker and a robust CVD coating.

• ISO-standard trigon insert for turning
• CVD-coated carbide grade T515
• Chipbreaker TH for cast iron machining
• Corner radius 1.6 mm, 80° main cutting edge

Reliable economy for cast iron turning with long tool life

With a CVD-coated carbide substrate and the T515 grade, the insert targets economic machining of cast iron while maintaining a predictable cutting behaviour. The applied coating enhances resistance to built-up edge and abrasion, which contributes to stable chip formation and extended tool life in continuous production. For manufacturers seeking consistent part quality and reduced index-change frequency, the insert delivers measurable process stability without sacrificing productivity.

Precise geometry and ISO compatibility for secure clamping

The trigon geometry combined with an 80° main cutting-edge angle and a corner radius 1.6 mm provides a balance between strength and edge engagement suitable for medium-duty turning. As an ISO-standard component, compatibility with a holder depends on shape, clearance angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness; the insert’s 0° clearance angle and cylindrical locating hole support repeatable positioning and robust mechanical clamping. Specifying the correct holder and clamping set ensures repeatable results and helps avoid vibrations that shorten tool life.

Practical process guidance to improve productivity and surface quality

The TH chipbreaker is optimised for stable chip control when machining cast iron under steady cutting conditions; it performs particularly well with moderate feeds and cutting speeds adjusted to the workpiece stability. When facing interrupted cuts or less rigid setups, selecting a chipbreaker and cutting data that favour edge strength will reduce the risk of edge chipping. The insert forms part of an insert–holder–clamp system that includes an appropriate backing pad and replacement screws to maintain consistent seating and torque transmission; this system view supports predictable surface finish and machining economy.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The WNMG080416-TH T515 insert is specified for the economic machining of cast iron; the T515 grade and TH chipbreaker are chosen to ensure stable chip control and good wear resistance when working with cast iron workpieces.

How does the trigon shape affect mounting and cutting?
Trigon geometry provides strong indexability and a larger contact area for clamping; the trigon form of the WNMG insert combined with the cylindrical locating hole ensures secure seating in compatible holders, reducing vibration and improving repeatability.

Which components are required to form a complete system?
A complete system comprises the indexable insert, a compatible external holder or boring bar, a backing pad/clamp set and the correct replacement screws; matching these components to the insert’s dimensions and tolerance class is essential for safe and repeatable machining.

Is the insert suitable for interrupted cuts or unstable setups?
The T515 grade is optimised for cast iron and steady cutting conditions; in interrupted cuts or less rigid setups, selecting a more robust chipbreaker or adjusting cutting parameters improves edge strength and reduces the likelihood of chipping when using the WNMG080416-TH T515.
