WNMG 080412 T5115 ISO turning insert — CVD‑coated carbide, trigon, CH chipbreaker (Tungaloy)

A WNMG080412-CH T5115 ISO turning insert engineered for external and internal turning of cast iron, combining a universal CVD coating with a trigon shape for secure clamping and reliable performance.

• Trigon insert, 80° cutting angle
• CVD-coated carbide grade T5115
• CH chipbreaker for cast iron
• 1.2 mm corner radius
• Cylindrical hole for secure mounting

Higher throughput through stable cutting-edge performance

The CVD‑coated carbide grade T5115 offers a compelling mix of wear resistance and edge stability, which translates into longer tool life and reduced machine downtime. For series production where consistent cycle times matter, the coating reduces flank wear and the substrate maintains strength at cutting temperatures, lowering the frequency of insert changes. This leads to measurable efficiency gains and improved process reliability in turning operations.

Reliable chip control and improved surface quality for cast iron

The chipbreaker CH is optimised for machining cast iron, promoting predictable chip formation and evacuation. Controlled chip flow reduces the risk of re-cutting and burr formation, which supports a better surface finish and less manual rework. For semi-finishing to finishing passes, the chip geometry helps maintain stable cutting forces, which benefits both component tolerances and overall productivity.

Secure seating and system compatibility that save setup time

Built to ISO norms, the trigon shape and cylindrical hole give a reproducible fit in compatible holders; compatibility depends on form, relief (0°), tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The 80° cutting angle and the plate thickness of 4.76 mm provide a robust contact area, enhancing rigidity under higher radial loads. Clear system matching reduces trial-and-error during tool selection and shortens setup times on the shopfloor.

Practical selection tips and application guidance

For most external and internal turning operations in cast iron, choose the 1.2 mm corner radius when a balance between edge strength and profile accuracy is required. The universal nature of the grade supports a wide range of cut depths and feeds; however, pair the insert with a holder and clamping kit that match the trigon plate form and the insert thickness for optimal clamping force. For detailed cutting parameters and to determine the best chipbreaker–grade combination for a specific workpiece and machine stability, the Metav Werkzeuge team can provide tailored recommendations.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The WNMG080412-CH T5115 is a universal grade optimised for cast iron, offering an effective balance between wear resistance and edge stability for typical turning operations.

What is the purpose of the CH chipbreaker?
The CH chipbreaker on the insert is designed to control chip formation in cast iron, aiding safe evacuation and improving surface finish during both semi‑finishing and finishing passes.

How is the insert mounted in a toolholder?
The trigon plate with a cylindrical hole locates into compatible ISO holders; secure clamping requires matching the plate form, thickness (4.76 mm) and the correct tolerance class for the holder system.

What does the grade T5115 indicate?
Grade T5115 denotes a CVD‑coated carbide formulation tailored for broad cast‑iron applications, combining coating chemistry and substrate properties for wear resistance and stable cutting edges.

Is this an ISO‑compliant insert and what does the code mean?
Yes; the ISO designation 080412 refers to the insert geometry and size family, ensuring interchangeability with toolholders designed for that ISO code.
