CNMG 160608 T5125 — ISO turning insert CNMG for Turning by Tungaloy

CNMG160608 T5125 Tungaloy insert for ISO-compliant external and internal turning, engineered for interrupted cuts and less rigid setups

• CNMG160608 ISO rhombic insert, 80° geometry
• CVD-coated carbide grade T5125
• Double-sided insert with 0.8 mm corner radius
• Suited for turning cast iron under interrupted cuts

Consistent chip control for interrupted turning operations

The insert combines a CVD-coated surface with a tougher carbide substrate, designed to maintain cutting edge integrity in interrupted cutting conditions. The T5125 grade is specified for applications involving cast iron where shocks and vibration can occur; this results in fewer edge failures and extended usable life compared with uncoated grades. The double-sided chipbreaker offers repeatable chip formation on both cutting edges, reducing downtime for index changes and supporting a steady production flow.

Geometry and mounting that simplify tool selection and clamping

The rhombic CNMG form with an 80° included angle and a 0° relief provides stable contact conditions in a wide range of turning setups. The insert’s 0.8 mm corner radius balances edge strength and surface finish, enabling moderate feed rates without sacrificing edge life. The unit is supplied with a cylindrical hole for secure clamping; compatibility with holders depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastener type, size and thickness. Together, these attributes help to reduce setup iterations and improve process repeatability.

Material suitability and practical benefits for the workshop

Manufactured from solid carbide with a CVD coating, this insert is optimised for machining cast iron in less rigid conditions, where a tougher grade prevents premature chipping. The plate’s 6.35 mm thickness and standard ISO sizing support stable cutting when paired with a correct external holder or boring bar. For engineering teams seeking predictable tool life and consistent part quality, the combination of geometry, grade and chipbreaker design delivers measurable improvements in machining reliability and throughput.

FAQ

What materials is this insert designed for?
The CNMG160608 T5125 insert is specified for machining cast iron and is suitable for interrupted cuts where a tougher grade is required.

Can the insert be used for both internal and external turning?
Yes, the ISO CNMG form and the 80° geometry make the insert suitable for both external and internal turning operations when matched with the correct holder.

How does the T5125 grade affect tool life?
The T5125 grade provides a tougher substrate with a CVD coating to resist chipping under unstable conditions, which improves reliability and can extend edge life in interrupted cutting.

Is the CNMG160608 compatible with standard ISO toolholders?
Compatibility depends on holder form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; the insert is ISO-compliant and fits holders designed for CNMG160608 geometry.

What is the advantage of the double-sided chipbreaker?
A double-sided chipbreaker provides two usable cutting edges, enabling cost-efficient indexing and consistent chip formation across both edges.
