TNMG160404 T5105 Turning Insert by Tungaloy — CVD-coated carbide for high‑speed cast iron turning

A TNMG160404 T5105 triangular turning insert designed for external and internal turning, optimised for stable, high‑speed machining of cast iron under steady cutting conditions

• CVD-coated carbide for wear resistance
• Optimised for high-speed cast iron turning
• ISO TNMG 160404 triangular profile
• Double-sided chipbreaker, cylindrical hole

Faster throughput thanks to a wear‑resistant CVD grade

The CVD‑coated T5105 grade combines a hard, wear‑resistant top layer with a tough carbide substrate to extend tool life under elevated cutting speeds. This coating system improves flank and crater wear resistance, which translates into longer uninterrupted cycles and fewer insert changes. For workshops aiming to raise throughput, the hardened surface layer reduces edge breakdown and maintains dimensional stability over longer runs, supporting predictable process parameters and consistent surface finish.

Reliable fit and secure clamping for predictable results

Designed to ISO geometry, the triangular TNMG160404 form and the 60° included angle deliver a balance of rigidity and access for a wide range of turning tasks. The insert’s 0° clearance and 0.4 mm nose radius favour strong cutting edges for interrupted cuts while still enabling a good surface quality where required. The cylindrical hole and standard thickness of 4.76 mm permit secure mounting with common clamps and screw assemblies; correct selection of holder by form, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness ensures repeatable positioning and stable chip load.

Improved chip control and everyday shop‑floor reliability

The double‑sided chipbreaker is engineered for reliable chip formation in grey and nodular cast iron, supporting efficient evacuation and reducing the risk of re‑cutting. Being double‑sided, each insert offers multiple indexable edges, improving economy per edge and reducing tool inventory turnover. In practice this leads to less machine downtime, steadier cycle times and predictable component quality. If there is any uncertainty about holder compatibility or optimal cutting data for specific cast iron grades, technical advice is available to align insert grade and chipbreaker to the application.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for? The T5105 CVD‑coated grade is formulated for reliable high‑speed machining of cast iron, offering good wear resistance and consistent chip control with grey and nodular cast iron.

How does the 0.4 mm nose radius affect finish and strength? A 0.4 mm nose radius balances edge strength and surface finish; it improves component integrity under interrupted cutting while still allowing acceptable surface roughness for many turning operations.

Is the TNMG160404 insert compatible with standard TNMG holders? The TNMG160404 follows ISO geometry, but compatibility depends on holder form, tolerance class, fastening and thickness; confirm holder match or consult Metav Werkzeuge for verification.

How many usable edges does the insert provide? With a double‑sided chipbreaker and triangular shape, the insert offers multiple indexable edges, enhancing economy per insert and reducing changeover frequency.

Where can cutting data and application advice be obtained? Application recommendations and cutting parameters for the TNMG160404 T5105 insert are available from Metav Werkzeuge’s technical team; contact details are provided for rapid assistance.
