TNMG 160408 T5105 indexable turning insert by Tungaloy — CVD-coated carbide, 0.8 mm radius

The TNMG 160408 T5105 is an ISO triangular indexable insert designed for high-speed external and internal turning of cast iron under stable machining conditions, providing controlled chips and repeatable part quality

• TNMG 160408 ISO triangular insert
• CVD-coated carbide grade T5105
• 0.8 mm corner radius for consistent profiles
• Double-sided chipbreaker, cylindrical hole

Boosted productivity for cast-iron turning with optimised chip control

The insert’s CVD-coated carbide composition (grade T5105) is designed for high-speed machining of cast iron where stability and thermal resistance matter. The coating improves wear resistance and maintains cutting-edge integrity over longer cycles, which reduces frequent index changes and increases useful cutting time. Paired with the double-sided chipbreaker, the geometry promotes predictable chip formation and evacuation, lowering interruption rates and helping to meet cycle-time targets in serial production. The result is a measurable improvement in machining efficiency and surface consistency for components produced from cast iron.

Stable geometry for repeatable accuracy and easy edge management

A well-defined corner radius of 0.8 mm and the triangle plate form ensure that profile radii remain consistent across index changes, supporting repeatable dimension control on turned parts. The insert comes with a cylindrical hole for secure locating and a standard 60° included angle that matches ISO holders, so seating accuracy and clamping stability are straightforward. The geometry reduces vibration sensitivity when the holder and machining setup are rigid, translating into improved tolerances and surface finish without complex parameter changes.

Straightforward integration into ISO turning systems and recommended usage

The part thickness of 4.76 mm and plate size 16 mm match common ISO tooling platforms, simplifying stocking and tool-change procedures across toolrooms. The design is double-sided, providing two usable cutting edges per index to extend life per insert. For best results, select a holder with compatible form, clearance angle, tolerance class and clamping method; combined selection determines overall performance. This insert is optimally used for turning operations on cast iron where stable cutting conditions can be maintained; under those conditions the insert grade achieves its intended balance of wear resistance and edge life.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for? The TNMG 160408 T5105 insert is intended primarily for the high-speed turning of cast iron; the T5105 grade provides wear resistance suited to that material.

How many cutting edges are available per insert? The triangular, double-sided design offers two indexed cutting edges per side, enabling multiple repositions before replacement of the insert.

Which holder characteristics must be matched to ensure compatibility? Compatibility depends on holder form, clearance angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and plate thickness; matching these parameters to the ISO specification ensures correct seating of the Tungaloy insert.

Is the insert suitable for finishing or roughing operations? The T5105 grade with its CVD coating is optimised for stable high-speed machining, typically used for finishing and medium-depth cuts where good surface quality and tool life are required.

What is the plate thickness and how does that affect performance? The plate thickness of 4.76 mm contributes to rigidity and resistance to edge chipping under stable clamping and supports consistent performance in production runs.
