TNMG 160412 T5105 indexable turning insert by Tungaloy — CVD-coated carbide, 60° geometry for turning

TNMG160412 T5105 is an indexable turning insert crafted for high-speed machining of cast iron in stable setups, designed to fit ISO-compatible holders and bores.

• CVD-coated carbide for wear resistance
• Double-sided chipbreaker for controlled chips
• 60° triangular form for versatile turning
• Cylindrical hole for secure clamping

Durable, high-performance cutting for efficient turning

The insert is manufactured from CVD-coated carbide, giving a hard, wear-resistant surface that extends tool life under elevated cutting speeds. This indexable turning insert is optimised for machining cast iron at high speeds when machine and workpiece stability are assured. The result is a consistent cutting edge behaviour and improved process reliability, which reduces unplanned downtime and supports predictable cycle times.

Secure mounting and geometry that improve productivity

A 60° geometry in a triangular format provides good versatility for external and internal turning; the cylindrical hole ensures firm fixing in ISO-compatible holders. The combination of a stable insert body and a double-sided chipbreaker helps to direct chips away from the cutting zone and maintain surface quality. For shops evaluating holder compatibility, attention to form, clearance angle, tolerance class, attachment method, size and thickness is essential to ensure correct fit and repeatable performance.

Explainable benefits for production planners and operators

The CVD coating is a chemical vapour deposition layer that binds a wear-resistant ceramic to the carbide substrate, improving heat resistance and edge life without compromising toughness. The moderate corner radius of 1.2 mm helps to balance edge strength and surface finish, making the insert suitable for finishing passes as well as more aggressive cuts when conditions allow. For applications prioritising process security and productivity, this solution delivers stable cutting behaviour and lengthened service intervals.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The TNMG160412 T5105 insert by Tungaloy is intended primarily for high-speed machining of cast iron under stable conditions; the CVD-coated carbide substrate provides wear resistance appropriate for such materials.

How does the double-sided chipbreaker affect machining?
The double-sided chipbreaker on this indexable turning insert improves chip control and evacuation, supporting consistent surface finishes and reducing chip-related interruptions during turning operations.

Which holder types are compatible with this insert?
Compatibility depends on holder form, clearance angle, tolerance class, attachment method, size and thickness; the TNMG160412 fits ISO-compatible external holders and boring bars designed for triangular 60° inserts.

What are the key dimensions to verify before ordering?
Confirm the inscribed circle/size (16 mm), thickness (4.76 mm), corner radius (1.2 mm), hole style (cylindrical) and the ISO designation TNMG160412 to ensure correct fit.
