CNMG160608 T5115 CNMG turning insert — Tungaloy (CVD-coated carbide, 0.8 mm radius, 80°)

The CNMG160608 T5115 is an ISO-standard rhombic indexable turning insert designed for external and internal turning, optimised for cast-iron applications and compatible with ISO toolholders.

• CVD-coated carbide for consistent wear resistance
• Universal grade T5115 for cast iron machining
• Rhombic 80° geometry with 0.8 mm corner radius
• Double-sided chipbreaker, with cylindrical hole

Greater productivity through reliable edge life

The CVD-coated carbide substrate and the T5115 grade combine to deliver a balanced mix of wear resistance and edge stability, which translates into longer tool life and fewer indexings. For production environments where consistent part quality and predictable tool change intervals matter, this design reduces unplanned downtime and contributes to a more efficient machining cycle. The CVD coating helps resist abrasion and thermal stress during continuous turning operations, so the cutting edge maintains form over extended runs.

Improved chip control lowers rework and cycle time

The insert’s double-sided chipbreaker and rhombic 80° geometry are configured to influence chip formation positively during both roughing and finishing passes. Controlled chips minimise surface defects and ease chip evacuation from the cutting zone, reducing the need for manual intervention and cleaning. As a result, process stability improves and cycle times become more predictable—advantages that are particularly relevant in small-batch production as well as automated machining centres.

Compatibility and handling for straightforward integration

Constructed to ISO dimensions with a 6.35 mm thickness, a cylindrical hole and standard clamping interfaces, the insert integrates with common ISO toolholders when form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness match. The specified 0° relief angle and the rhombic plate form ensure compatibility with a wide range of external holders and boring bars. Where holder fitment or application-specific questions arise, matching is determined by those measurable parameters rather than by brand alone, simplifying retrofits and tool inventory management.

Optimised for cast-iron applications — fewer compromises

The T5115 grade is formulated as a universal solution for cast iron, offering a compromise between wear resistance and edge robustness that supports both stable roughing and accurate finishing. For shops that primarily machine grey or nodular cast iron, the grade reduces the need for multiple special-purpose inserts, aiding stock rationalisation and operational simplicity. Choosing the correct insert geometry and chip control for the specific cast-iron type further enhances surface quality and repeatability.
