TNMG 160404 T5115 turning insert, triangular, 60° – Tungaloy

The TNMG160404 T5115 is a CVD‑coated carbide turning insert designed for external and internal turning, offering a universal grade especially suited to cast iron machining.

• ISO triangular turning insert 60° angle
• CVD-coated carbide grade T5115 for cast iron
• Double-sided chipbreaker for versatile use
• Cylindrical hole for secure clamping

Versatile performance for cast iron turning with predictable results

The combination of a CVD‑coated carbide substrate and the T5115 grade provides a balanced mix of wear resistance and edge stability, making the insert suitable for a wide range of cast iron turning tasks. The double‑sided chipbreaker supports consistent chip control across varying cutting conditions, which reduces the risk of unexpected interruptions and improves component quality. For users less familiar with coatings: CVD coating forms a thin, hard layer that improves resistance to abrasive wear while maintaining a reliable cutting edge, so tool life is extended without complex process changes.

Standardised form and secure clamping to reduce setup time

Manufactured to ISO dimensions with a triangular profile and 60° cutting angle, the insert ensures compatibility with holders that match form, relief angle and tolerance class. The cylindrical hole and the specified dimensions—16 mm inscribed circle and 4.76 mm thickness—facilitate repeatable seating and secure clamping, reducing time spent on indexing and replacement. Clear standardisation means fewer setup errors and easier stock management when multiple operators are involved, supporting smoother production workflows.

Cost‑effective handling and predictable productivity gains

With a 0.4 mm corner radius and a geometry tailored for turning, the insert can be used for both finishing and light roughing depending on feed and depth of cut, delivering a favourable balance between surface quality and tool life. Being double‑sided improves cost efficiency because the same cutting edge can be indexed multiple times before replacement. When combined with an appropriate holder, shim and clamp set, the system minimises vibration and enhances process stability, which is particularly valuable in batch production where consistent tolerances are required.
