DNMG150408 T5115 – Indexable turning insert, CVD-coated carbide by Tungaloy

A DNMG150408 T5115 indexable turning insert engineered for efficient external and internal turning, optimised for machining cast iron with a balance of wear resistance and cutting-edge stability.

• DNMG geometry ISO 150408 format
• CVD-coated carbide for reliable wear resistance
• Rhombic 55° cutting angle, 0.8 mm corner radius
• Double-sided with cylindrical hole for secure clamping

Durable coating and material for consistent performance

The combination of an indexable insert design with CVD-coated carbide provides a dependable basis for repetitive turning operations. The CVD coating improves wear resistance on the cutting edge while the carbide substrate maintains cutting strength, which together reduce the need for frequent changes and support stable cycle times. Specified for cast iron, this grade delivers consistent tool life and helps maintain part tolerances under production conditions. The ISO-series geometry also simplifies tool selection and inventory management across compatible holders.

Geometry and dimensions that ease process setup

A rhombic plate form with a defined 55° approach angle and 0.8 mm corner radius offers a predictable cutting behaviour for turning tasks where a compromise between edge strength and detail is required. The 4.76 mm thickness and the 15 mm size provide mechanical rigidity and secure clamping via the cylindrical hole, reducing vibration and improving surface finish. The 0° relief angle is suited to specific turning set-ups where the holder geometry dictates the working clearance; selection of holder and clamping kit should follow the ISO parameters to ensure correct seating and repeatability.

Application fit and practical advantages for workshop use

Designed as a universal grade for cast iron, the T5115 specification balances wear resistance and edge stability to perform well across a range of finishing and semi-finishing operations. The double-sided nature of the insert extends usable life by allowing indexed repositioning, which supports cost-effective production and reduces downtime for tool change. For operations requiring straightforward insert handling and predictable chip formation, this plate form and chipbreaker arrangement contribute to smoother machining and more consistent part quality.

Guidance for integration and process optimisation

When integrating this insert into an existing turning cell, match the holder by form, tolerance class, fastening and thickness to the ISO-150408 standard to guarantee compatibility. Choice of chipbreaker and grade should reflect the workpiece material, machining strategy and machine rigidity; selecting a chip control geometry suited to the cast iron grade will enhance surface results and evacuation.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The DNMG150408 T5115 Tungaloy insert is specified as a universal grade for cast iron and is optimised to balance wear resistance with cutting-edge stability in turning operations.

Which holders are compatible with this ISO insert?
Compatibility depends on matching the ISO-150408 form factors: holder shape, fastening method, tolerance class, size and plate thickness. The insert seats in standard DNMG-compatible turning holders designed for ISO-150408 geometry.

How does the CVD coating benefit machining?
The CVD-coated carbide construction of the DNMG150408 T5115 insert improves wear resistance and helps maintain a stable cutting edge under continuous operation, extending usable life in many cast iron applications.

Is the insert reversible and how many cutting edges are available?
This insert is double-sided, allowing indexed use of multiple cutting edges; the reversible geometry effectively doubles the number of available edges compared with a single-sided plate.

What should be considered when choosing the chipbreaker?
Select a chipbreaker matched to the cast iron grade and the desired surface finish and chip control. The correct chipbreaker promotes consistent chip formation and supports process stability with the DNMG150408 T5115 insert.
