DNMG150604 T5125 Tungaloy turning indexable insert — CVD-coated carbide, rhombic 55° geometry

DNMG150604 T5125 Tungaloy-Wendeplatte is an ISO-format turning indexable insert designed for external and internal turning, especially suited to interrupted cuts and less rigid set-ups.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T5125
• For interrupted cuts in cast iron
• ISO DNMG150604 rhombic insert, 55° edge
• Double-sided chipbreaker for chip control
• Cylindrical-holed, 6.35 mm thickness

Productivity through material and geometry

The combination of a CVD-coated carbide substrate and the T5125 grade results in a wear-resistant cutting edge that is formulated for cast iron machining under interrupted cutting conditions. The rhombic 55° geometry offers a good balance between cutting edge strength and accessibility in shoulder and profile work, while the 0° clearance provides predictable engagement with the workpiece. Together, these factors reduce unplanned downtime and increase process stability, making the insert an efficient choice for production environments where repeatability and tool life are priorities.

Predictable chip control and easy integration

Equipped with a double-sided chipbreaker and a cylindrical locating hole, the insert promotes controlled chip formation and secure clamping in a compatible holder. The ISO DNMG format simplifies holder selection: compatibility is determined by shape, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness, so the insert fits into common external holders and boring bars without special adapters. This predictable behaviour translates into shorter set-up times and fewer interrupted cycles, supporting continuous throughput on the shop floor.

Application-focused benefits and handling advice

For turning operations on cast components, the tougher grade and chipbreaker combination minimise edge chipping during interrupted cuts and uneven feeds. The insert’s thickness of 6.35 mm and corner radius 0.4 mm provide a stable cutting edge for general finishing and medium-turning tasks; select the chipbreaker and grade to match the workpiece material, clamp rigidity and intended surface finish. Where less rigid fixturing is present, this grade helps maintain consistent performance and surface quality, reducing the need for frequent insert changes.

FAQ

What workpieces is this insert best suited for? This Tungaloy indexable insert is optimised for turning of cast iron, particularly where interrupted cuts occur, thanks to the T5125 CVD-coated carbide grade and robust chip control.

Which holders are compatible with the DNMG150604 geometry? Compatibility depends on holder form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness; standard ISO DNMG holders and boring bars designed for 55° rhombic inserts accept this item.

How does the chipbreaker improve machining? The double-sided chipbreaker on this insert provides reliable chip formation and evacuation, reducing chip-related interruptions and supporting a steadier cutting process.

Can the insert be used for internal boring as well as external turning? Yes, the rhombic DNMG150604 format and the insert’s thickness support both external and internal turning applications when paired with the appropriate boring bar or internal holder.
