CNMG 160612 T5115 ISO turning insert, rhombic 16 mm – Tungaloy

A CNMG160612 T5115 insert for ISO-standard turning, engineered for cast iron machining and stable edge life.

• ISO rhombic insert, 16 mm size
• CVD-coated carbide grade T5115
• Double-sided chipbreaker for cast iron
• Cylindrical hole for secure clamping

Longer life and predictable wear for production runs

The CVD-coated carbide grade T5115 is designed to balance wear resistance with edge stability, which reduces unplanned tool changes and supports higher uptime in production environments. For workshops processing cast iron, this coating fights abrasive wear while maintaining a consistent cutting edge, resulting in stable component tolerances and lower tooling cost per part. The performance is especially beneficial where repeatability and batch consistency are key.

Secure clamping and simple ISO compatibility for fast setup

Built to ISO standards, the rhombic CNMG form ensures compatibility with a wide range of external holders and boring bars when form, relief angle, tolerance class, clamping and thickness are matched. The plate measures 16 mm across the inscribed circle with a thickness of 6.35 mm and a corner radius of 1.2 mm, and it features a cylindrical hole for reliable fastening. These measurable attributes make it straightforward to verify holder acceptance and shorten set-up times on the shop floor.

Improved chip control and surface quality in turning operations

The double-sided chipbreaker is tailored for cast iron applications and improves chip formation, reducing the risk of entanglement and enhancing surface finish during both external and internal turning. Selecting the appropriate chipbreaker and grade according to workpiece stability and machining strategy yields better process security: fewer interruptions, consistent surface integrity and reduced secondary operations such as manual deburring.

System-level efficiency and practical workshop benefits

The insert is intended for use as part of a complete tool system: ISO indexable insert, suitable external holder or boring bar, and the necessary shim/clamp set and replacement screws. Standardised dimensions aid inventory management and make it easier to keep a compact, effective tooling stock. For CNC turning centres and job shops aiming for predictable throughput, this solution supports high availability and straightforward reconditioning of tool assemblies.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The CNMG160612 T5115 insert is optimised for machining cast iron, where the T5115 grade and CVD coating deliver a good compromise between wear resistance and cutting-edge stability.

Can this insert be used on both external and internal turning operations?
Yes, the CNMG160612 geometry and double-sided chipbreaker make the insert suitable for both external and internal turning when paired with the correct holder and machining parameters.

Is the insert indexable and reversible?
The plate is double-sided, providing two cutting edges per side where applicable; its ISO-compliant dimensions allow straightforward indexing and reversal in compatible holders.

How is holder compatibility ensured for this rhombic plate?
Compatibility depends on matching the insert form, relief angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness to the holder; the CNMG160612 follows ISO norms to simplify this verification.

What benefits does the CVD coating bring in practice?
The CVD coating on the T5115 grade increases abrasion resistance and helps maintain a stable cutting edge under typical cast iron conditions, extending tool life and improving process reliability.
