TNMG 160404 T9215 turning insert — Tungaloy

A TNMG160404 T9215 ISO-standard triangular turning insert designed for medium steel machining, offering a CVD-coated carbide grade for high productivity in continuous to lightly interrupted cuts.

• Triangular TNMG form with 60° geometry
• CVD-coated carbide for wear resistance
• 0.4 mm corner radius for accurate profiling
• Double-sided insert with cylindrical hole

Maximise material removal and uptime with a productive grade

The T9215 grade is a CVD-coated carbide developed for the middle range of steel machining where both wear resistance and fracture toughness are required. Its composition supports sustained material removal rates in continuous and lightly interrupted cuts, which translates into shorter cycle times and a lower cost per part. The combination of high abrasion resistance and robust edge stability reduces unexpected tool changes and contributes directly to improved productivity on shop-floor turning operations.

Simplified tooling choices through ISO conformity and consistent geometry

Built to an ISO-standard outline, the insert ensures predictable compatibility with holders when matching form, clearance, tolerance class, fastening and size. The 60° triangular geometry provides stable cutting engagement and flexibility in application, while the measurable specifications—such as the plate size and clearance angle—make selection straightforward for process planners. Clear, standardised geometry reduces setup time and eases integration into existing tool systems.

Controlled edge form for repeatable surface quality

The 0.4 mm corner radius delivers a defined profile that improves part finish and helps dampen cutting-induced vibration in many turning tasks. The insert's double-sided design and cylindrical hole enable reliable clamping and economical indexing, offering two usable edges per side where applicable and consistent seating for repeatable results. This controlled edge geometry supports stable chip formation and predictable surface integrity during finishing passes.

System-level benefits: seamless integration and practical maintenance

As part of a standard insert system, the package concept includes the indexable plate, a matching external holder or boring bar, and the necessary shim/clamping set and replacement screws for secure mounting. Identification by article and manufacturer SKU simplifies procurement and inventory management, while the ISO conformity reduces the need for trial-and-error trials in holder selection. The TNMG160404 option from a recognised manufacturer presents a practical balance between tool life and operational simplicity, supporting effective process planning and reduced maintenance overhead.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for? The TNMG160404 in grade T9215 is designed primarily for medium steel machining and combines wear resistance with fracture safety for continuous to lightly interrupted cuts.

How does the 0.4 mm corner radius affect the finished surface? A 0.4 mm corner radius provides a controlled profile that improves surface finish and helps reduce vibration, delivering repeatable machining quality with the Tungaloy turning insert.

Is this insert compatible with standard TNMG holders? The insert follows ISO geometry; compatibility depends on matching form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness—confirm holder fit before mounting.

Can the insert be indexed to use multiple cutting edges? The double-sided design and central cylindrical hole allow reliable clamping and economical indexing where the holder system supports reverse-side use.

What does the T9215 grade offer compared with general-purpose grades? T9215 is a dedicated CVD-coated carbide grade optimised for the mid-range of steel applications, offering improved wear resistance and breakage safety for higher productivity.
