DNMG150608 T5115 Turning Insert by Tungaloy — CVD-coated carbide for cast iron

DNMG150608 T5115 is an ISO turning insert for general external and internal turning, offering balanced wear resistance and edge stability for cast-iron applications.

• DNMG 150608 geometry for standard toolholders
• CVD-coated carbide grade T5115
• Universal grade optimised for cast iron
• Double-sided chipbreaker, rhombic 55° shape

Reliable cutting performance for heavy cast-iron turning

The DNMG150608 insert is produced in a CVD-coated carbide matrix, grade T5115, giving a balance between wear resistance and cutting-edge stability that is particularly suited to cast-iron machining. The CVD coating improves surface hardness and thermal resistance, which reduces flank wear during prolonged runs. As a result, cycle times remain consistent and tool changes become less frequent, supporting uninterrupted production and better cost-efficiency in serial turning operations.

Simple integration into ISO tool systems and predictable results

Compatibility is determined by the insert’s form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The rhombic 55° shape with a 0° clearance and a corner radius of 0.8 mm makes the insert versatile for facing, light profiling and general turning tasks. The item is intended for use with the appropriate ISO DNMG holder or boring bar and requires the correct clamping set and replacement screws for secure seating. Choosing a chipbreaker and grade matched to the material and process stability ensures improved chip control and repeatable surface finish.

Practical guidance for workshop use and process safety

The double-sided chipbreaker enhances chip formation and evacuation when turning cast iron, helping to prevent entangling or built-up edge in intermittent cuts. With an insert thickness of 6.35 mm and a central cylindrical hole, the geometry supports accurate seating and stable cutting forces. In production environments where process reliability and predictable tool life matter, this insert supports efficient chip control, reliable surface quality and consistent part tolerances. For medium to high-volume turning, pairing the insert with a robust holder and correct cutting data will maximise productivity and tool life.

FAQ

What workpieces is this insert best suited for?
This insert is optimised for cast-iron machining; the T5115 grade and chipbreaker combination provide wear resistance and reliable edge stability for a wide range of cast-iron turning tasks.

How is compatibility with a toolholder determined?
Compatibility depends on the insert form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; the ISO DNMG150608 geometry ensures fitment with standard DNMG toolholders when those parameters match.

How many cutting edges are available per insert?
The insert is double-sided with a chipbreaker on each cutting edge; the actual number of usable edges depends on indexing practice and wear, permitting multiple edge changes per insert.

Can this insert be used for internal turning (boring)?
Yes, the rhombic 55° geometry and balanced grade make it suitable for certain internal turning operations when mounted in a compatible boring bar or holder.

What benefits does the CVD coating provide?
The CVD coating on the T5115 grade improves thermal resistance and surface hardness, reducing flank wear and extending tool life under typical cast-iron cutting conditions.
