TNMG 160404 T5105 turning insert (ISO) – Tungaloy

The TNMG160404 T5105 is an ISO‑standard triangular indexable insert for turning, optimised for high‑speed machining of cast iron under stable cutting conditions.

• CVD‑coated carbide grade T5105
• Optimised for high‑speed cast iron turning
• Triangular ISO form with 60° included angle
• Double‑sided chipbreaker, cylindrical hole

Consistent high productivity through wear‑resistant coating

The CVD‑coated carbide grade T5105 combines a hard, wear‑resistant surface with a tough carbide substrate to deliver longer tool life and consistent cutting behaviour in repetitive production runs. In practice, this means fewer interruptions for insert changes and a more predictable tool‑life window, which supports planning for machining cycles and reduces total operating costs. The coating also helps maintain cutting‑edge integrity at elevated cutting speeds, improving process stability during longitudinal and facing operations.

Fast integration into ISO‑based tool systems

Compliance with the ISO designation ensures that the insert matches established holder geometries: form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness determine fit. The triangular shape with a 60° included angle and a 0° relief angle provides straightforward interchangeability with many external holders and boring bars, reducing setup time. For workshops keeping a standardised inventory, the ISO format simplifies logistics and enables rapid replacements without custom regrinding or adapter work.

Controlled chip formation for safer, cleaner machining

The double‑sided chipbreaker geometry and the cylindrical clamping hole promote repeatable chip control and stable material evacuation when turning cast iron. Effective chip formation reduces the chance of entanglement and improves surface finish, particularly in steady‑state cuts. For operators, this translates into fewer interrupted cycles and improved component consistency, while the insert’s geometry also helps to moderate cutting forces, which can reduce vibration and extend both insert and holder life.

Practical dimensions and application guidance

The insert is manufactured from carbide and comes in a compact triangular form with a nominal size of 16 mm, a thickness of 4.76 mm and a corner radius of 0.4 mm, making it suitable for finishing to medium turning operations where a fine edge and controlled engagement are required. The product is supplied as a system component concept: an ISO insert paired with a compatible external holder or boring bar, plus the necessary support/clamp set and replacement screws for secure mounting. Select the chipbreaker variant and grade according to workpiece material, machining type and machine/fixture stability to achieve the intended performance.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for cast iron applications?
The TNMG160404 T5105 insert is formulated for high‑speed machining of cast iron and delivers good wear resistance under stable cutting conditions.

How does the chipbreaker affect surface finish?
The double‑sided chipbreaker on this insert promotes consistent chip formation, which contributes to improved surface finish and reduced risk of chip interference.

What holder features must be checked for compatibility?
Compatibility depends on the holder’s seat form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and insert thickness; matching these ensures correct clamping and performance.

Can the insert be used for roughing and finishing?
With a corner radius of 0.4 mm and the CVD‑coated grade, the insert is suited to finishing and medium cuts; for heavy roughing, a different geometry or larger radius may be preferable.

Where can cutting parameters and holder recommendations be obtained?
Cutting data and holder pairing advice are available from Metav Werkzeuge; their consultants can provide machine‑specific recommendations.
