DNMG150608 T5105 rhombic turning insert (55°), CVD-coated carbide — Tungaloy

A DNMG150608 T5105 indexable cutting insert engineered for high-speed turning of cast iron under stable cutting conditions, suitable for both external and internal turning when matched to the correct holder and chipbreaker.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T5105 for cast iron
• 55° rhombic geometry, 0° relief
• Double-sided chipbreaker, cylindrical hole
• 0.8 mm corner radius, 6.35 mm plate thickness

Increased productivity for cast-iron turning

The CVD-coated carbide composition of this insert is formulated for high-speed machining, providing wear resistance and thermal stability during continuous cuts. In practice, this means longer effective tool life and fewer index changes when machining grey and nodular cast iron. The combination of grade and geometry supports stable cutting at elevated speeds, reducing downtime and increasing throughput in repetitive turning operations.

Fast compatibility and predictable tool changes

Built to the ISO form, the rhombic shape with a 55° cutting edge ensures broad compatibility with standard turning holders. The ISO designation simplifies tool selection across systems, while the cylindrical hole and standard mounting dimensions enable quick replacement and secure clamping. With a plate thickness of 6.35 mm, the insert offers sufficient rigidity for medium to heavy turning tasks without compromising accessibility in tighter tool positions.

Better chip control and surface integrity

The double-sided chipbreaker is designed to promote controlled chip formation and evacuation, which directly contributes to a consistent surface finish on workpieces. By selecting the appropriate chipbreaker and using the insert within its intended application window, chip piling and re-cutting risks are minimised, translating into fewer secondary operations and improved process reliability for batch or single-pass components.

Practical guidance for application and setup

For best results, pair the insert with a holder that matches form, clearance angle and tolerance class; the 0° relief angle is suited to situations where rigidity and axial support are prioritised. The corner radius 0.8 mm balances edge strength and finish, making the insert suitable for general turning where a combination of edge durability and acceptable surface quality is required. The grade performs particularly well under productive machining regimes when conditions remain stable and vibrations are controlled.
