TNMG 160408 T9215 — Indexable turning insert for turning (Tungaloy)

TNMG160408 T9215 is an ISO-standard indexable turning insert engineered for medium steel machining, offering a CVD-coated cemented carbide grade optimised for continuous to lightly interrupted cuts.

• CVD-coated cemented carbide grade T9215
• 0.8 mm corner radius for fine turning
• Triangular 16 mm insert with cylindrical hole
• Double-sided chipbreaker for consistent chips

Efficient cutting for medium steel with high wear resistance

The CVD-coated cemented carbide composition and the T9215 grade combine to deliver high wear resistance and reliable fracture toughness, enabling sustained productivity in medium-steel turning. This geometry and coating pairing reduces flank wear under continuous or lightly interrupted conditions, which leads to longer effective tool life and fewer indexings. The technical design supports steady metal removal rates while maintaining dimensional stability over extended cycles.

Geometry and chip control that improve process reliability

A triangular plate with a 0.8 mm corner radius and a double-sided chipbreaker ensures predictable chip formation and controlled evacuation. The insert’s cylindrical hole and 60° wedge angle provide secure clamping in compatible ISO external holders or boring bars; correct seating and clamping torque ensure repeatable positioning and concentricity. For users less familiar with chipbreaker design: the double-sided breaker offers two cutting edges per index, permitting economical use of the insert before replacement.

Productivity gains through consistent surface finish and durability

The combination of a robust substrate and CVD surface treatment reduces abrasive and adhesive wear, supporting consistent surface quality and fewer secondary operations. In practical terms, this means more parts produced between tool changes and stable component tolerances over production runs. The insert’s performance profile is particularly suited to shops aiming for a balance between abrasive resistance and edge strength in routine turning tasks.

Clear compatibility guidance and system integration

The inserts are part of an ISO turning insert system; compatibility with a selected holder is determined by plate form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The system typically includes the insert, a matching external holder or boring bar, a backing shim or clamp set, and replacement screws. Selection should consider workpiece stability and machining type—continuous versus interrupted—to match the chipbreaker and grade to the application, ensuring process security and repeatable results.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The TNMG160408 T9215 insert is designed primarily for medium steel machining; the CVD-coated cemented carbide grade offers wear resistance suited to this material class.

How does the double-sided chipbreaker affect tool economy?
The double-sided chipbreaker provides two usable cutting edges per index, improving edge utilisation and reducing the frequency of insert changes for the TNMG160408 T9215.

Is this insert compatible with standard ISO holders?
Yes, the insert conforms to ISO plate geometry; compatibility with a given holder requires matching the plate form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening and thickness.

What is the purpose of the cylindrical hole in the insert?
The cylindrical hole ensures positive and repeatable clamping with the appropriate screw and clamp system, aiding positional accuracy and repeatability during indexings.

Can the insert handle interrupted cuts?
This grade is suitable for continuous to light interrupted cuts; heavy interruptions may necessitate a grade with enhanced edge toughness.
