CNMG160612 T5105 CNMG Turning Insert for Turning by Tungaloy — CVD-coated carbide for cast iron machining

CNMG160612 T5105 Tungaloy insert is a rhombic ISO indexable insert designed for turning operations, offering a wear-resistant CVD coating and geometry suited to high-speed machining of cast iron under stable setups.

• CVD-coated T5105 carbide grade
• 80° rhombic form with 1.2 mm radius
• Double-sided chipbreaker for stable cutting
• Cylindrical hole, compatible with ISO holders

Faster cycle times with a wear-resistant CVD grade

The T5105 grade is a CVD-coated cemented carbide developed for high-speed machining of cast iron, delivering prolonged tool life where cutting speeds are elevated and conditions are stable. The coating reduces flank wear and improves resistance to abrasive particles commonly found in grey and nodular cast irons, which in turn sustains dimensional accuracy across longer production runs. For manufacturers aiming to increase throughput without compromising surface quality, this insert provides a concrete performance advantage by lowering frequency of index changes and maintaining consistent cutting behaviour.

Consistent part quality thanks to precision geometry

The 80° rhombic plate form with a 1.2 mm corner radius produces a controlled cutting edge suitable for both external and internal turning. The specified 0° clearance and the rhombic outline ensure stable engagement in axial and radial cuts; this geometry supports predictable chip formation and helps reduce vibration when used with an appropriately rigid holder. The insert’s cylindrical hole and standard ISO dimensions promote repeatable clamping and alignment in ISO-compatible toolholders, which is essential for repeatable part tolerances and efficient toolchange procedures on the shop floor.

System-level benefits and practical application guidance

As part of an ISO insert system, the CNMG160612 requires a matching external holder or boring bar, a suitable clamping set or backplate, and replacement screws to complete the assembly; compatibility is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The integrated double-sided chipbreaker supports controlled chip segmentation when paired with the correct feed and depth settings, reducing manual chip handling and improving operator safety. For setups with limited rigidity, select a chipbreaker and machining strategy that prioritises stability; where high material removal rates are achievable, the T5105 grade provides the wear resistance needed to maintain edge integrity and surface finish.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for cast iron turning?
The CNMG160612 T5105 insert is specified for high-speed machining of cast iron under stable cutting conditions; the T5105 CVD coating and carbide substrate enhance wear resistance for these applications.

What holder compatibility is required?
Compatibility depends on ISO form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness; the insert’s cylindrical hole and ISO dimensions allow mounting in standard ISO-compatible turning holders.

Which chipbreaker does the insert use and what is its benefit?
The insert features a double-sided chipbreaker, which promotes controlled chip formation for stable cutting and improved swarf control during turning operations.

What are the key dimensions to check before ordering?
Verify the ISO designation CNMG160612, plate size 16 mm, plate thickness 6.35 mm and corner radius 1.2 mm to ensure correct fit with the selected holder and clamping set.

Can this grade be used for other materials besides cast iron?
The T5105 grade is optimised for cast iron high-speed applications under stable conditions; performance on other materials is not specified and should be assessed with test cuts or by consulting application experts.
