CNMG160608 T5105 ISO turning insert by Tungaloy — CVD‑coated carbide, 80° geometry

The CNMG160608 T5105 is an ISO‑standard rhombic turning insert designed for external and internal turning, optimised for high‑speed machining of cast iron under stable cutting conditions.

• CNMG160608 ISO rhombic insert, 80° geometry
• CVD‑coated carbide T5105 for wear resistance
• Double‑sided chipbreaker for consistent performance
• Cylindrical hole for secure mounting

Maximise productivity with high‑speed, wear‑resistant cutting

The combination of CVD‑coated carbide and the T5105 grade provides a wear‑resistant cutting edge suited to high‑speed turning of cast iron. This results in longer tool life and fewer interruptions for insert changes, which directly improves cycle time and process efficiency. The 80° geometry promotes stable cutting forces for robust external and internal turning, while the double‑sided chipbreaker helps control chips and maintain a consistent surface finish. For production environments where uptime and repeatability are priorities, this configuration supports predictable, cost‑effective machining.

Reliable fit and secure clamping for repeatable results

Compatibility is governed by form, relief angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness; the insert’s rhombic shape, cylindrical hole and 16 mm size ensure straightforward integration with ISO‑compatible toolholders. The 6.35 mm thickness and corner radius 0.8 mm contribute to edge stability and allow consistent engagement with the workpiece. Selecting a holder that matches the insert’s 0° relief and 80° seating will maintain clamping accuracy and minimise vibration, yielding improved dimensional control and surface quality in serial production.

Application guidance for cast iron turning and process security

This grade is tailored for stable machining of cast iron, where thermal and mechanical loads are predictable. The CVD layer enhances abrasion resistance, reducing flank wear at elevated cutting speeds. For roughing and finishing passes under steady conditions, the insert provides a balance between productivity and surface integrity. Choose cutting parameters that reflect machine rigidity and workpiece setup; the insert’s chip control features simplify evacuation and reduce the risk of built‑up edge, helping to maintain consistent results across batches.

Practical benefits and workshop integration

As an ISO‑standard component, the insert makes tool management and inventory control simpler: identical geometry and dimensions allow quick replacement and reuse of holders across setups. The double‑sided design offers two usable cutting edges per index, lowering cost per edge and supporting efficient tool rotation strategies. Where process reliability and reproducible results matter, the combination of T5105 grade and ISO conformity contributes to predictable tool life and fewer unexpected stoppages, aiding production planning and throughput.
