CNMG 160616 T5115 — Tungaloy turning insert (turning)

CNMG160616 T5115 is an ISO-format indexable insert for general external and internal turning, engineered for stable chip formation and durable edge life in cast iron applications

• CVD-coated carbide grade T5115
• Rhombic 80° geometry for general turning
• Double-sided chipbreaker for chip control
• Corner radius 1.6 mm, thickness 6.35 mm

Consistent edge performance for cast iron machining

The CVD-coated carbide grade delivers a balanced combination of wear resistance and edge stability, specifically formulated for cast iron. The coating improves resistance to built-up edge and abrasive wear, which means more consistent component dimensions and longer indexed life between tool changes. For workshops requiring reliable productivity, this engineered grade reduces the frequency of insert changes while maintaining surface integrity on turned parts.

Secure clamping and straightforward indexability

The rhombic 80° shape with a cylindrical hole and a 0° clearance angle permits secure fastening in standard holders and boring bars; compatibility depends on holder form, tolerance class, fastening style, size and thickness. The insert is double-sided, enabling economical use of available cutting edges and rapid indexing. The corner radius 1.6 mm provides a compromise between strength and surface finish, while the 6.35 mm thickness contributes to stable mounting under intermittent or heavy cuts.

Effective chip control for stable process results

The integrated chipbreaker geometry promotes predictable chip formation and evacuation, which supports higher material removal rates and steadier cutting forces. With suitable selection of chipbreaker and grade, the system helps to reduce machine downtime and improves repeatability across serial production. The ISO-format design ensures interchangeability within the ISO turning indexable insert family, simplifying tool inventory and replacement logistics.

Practical system setup and application guidance

The complete cutting system comprises the insert together with a matching external holder or boring bar, shim/locking set and replacement screws. Choose the chipbreaker and grade to match workpiece material, machining operation and machine-tool rigidity. The insert is intended for both external and internal turning; for best results in cast iron, pair the grade with stable clamping and consistent cutting parameters.

FAQ

What workpiece materials is this insert best suited for?
The CNMG160616 T5115 insert is formulated primarily for cast iron applications; the T5115 grade balances wear resistance and edge stability to deliver consistent results in grey and nodular cast iron.

How does the chipbreaker affect performance?
The double-sided chipbreaker on this indexable insert improves chip control and evacuation, which reduces vibration and supports steadier cutting forces during turning operations.

Which toolholders are compatible with this ISO-format insert?
Compatibility depends on holder form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; holders and boring bars designed for ISO CNMG 160616 geometry accept this insert when those parameters match.

Is the insert reversible or indexable?
The insert is double-sided and indexable, allowing rotation to fresh edges; this supports economical use of available cutting edges and short changeover times.

What are the key dimensional values to check before fitting?
Verify the insert size (16 mm), thickness (6.35 mm), corner radius (1.6 mm), bore style (cylindrical hole) and the 80° rhombic geometry to ensure correct seating and clamping.
