TNMG 160412 T9215 Turning insert, CVD-coated carbide — Tungaloy

TNMG160412 T9215 is an ISO-standard indexable turning insert designed for external and internal turning of medium steels, offering a balance of wear resistance and fracture toughness for continuous to lightly interrupted cuts

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9215
• Optimised for medium steel machining
• Double-sided chipbreaker design
• Triangular 16 mm insert, 60° cutting angle

Productive machining with dependable wear resistance

The TNMG160412 indexable insert combines a CVD-coated surface with cemented carbide substrate to deliver extended tool life and stable performance when machining medium-strength steels. The T9215 grade is engineered to resist abrasive wear while retaining sufficient fracture toughness, which reduces unplanned insert breakage and supports steady production rates. As a result, the component life cycle is extended and machine uptime is improved, making the insert a pragmatic choice where productivity and component quality are priorities.

ISO compatibility and secure clamping for consistent results

Designed to the ISO geometry for turning inserts, the triangular form with a cylindrical hole enables reliable locating and clamping in a wide range of standard external holders and boring bars. Key dimensions — 16 mm inscribed circle, 4.76 mm thickness and 1.2 mm corner radius — combine with a 0° relief angle and 60° cutting angle to provide predictable cutting engagement. The insert’s double-sided configuration allows economical indexing, halving the cost per cutting edge in many setups. Compatibility with a specific holder is determined by form, relief angle, tolerance, fastening method, size and thickness.

Achieving consistent surface finish and efficient chip control

The double-sided chipbreaker and the matched T9215 grade support controlled chip formation across continuous and mildly interrupted cutting conditions. That translates into a more uniform surface finish and fewer secondary operations, especially on medium steel workpieces. Select the chipbreaker and grade according to workpiece material, machining strategy and fixture stability to optimise cycle time and achieve repeatable results. For complex setups or mixed-batch machining, choosing the appropriate variant helps maintain process security and reduces scrap rates.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert intended for?
The Tungaloy TNMG160412 T9215 insert is optimised for medium steels, offering a balance of wear resistance and toughness for productive machining.

Is the insert reversible and how is it clamped?
Yes — the plate is double-sided and triangular with a cylindrical hole for secure clamping in compatible ISO holders; indexing doubles the available cutting edges.

How is compatibility with a holder determined?
Compatibility depends on geometry, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; matching these parameters ensures correct fit and cutting performance.

When should the T9215 grade and chipbreaker be chosen over other grades?
Select the T9215 grade and the double-sided chipbreaker for applications prioritising consistent wear resistance and fracture control on medium steel in continuous or lightly interrupted cuts.
