WNMG060408 T5105 – Turning insert (trigon, CVD-coated carbide) by Tungaloy

The WNMG060408 T5105 is an ISO-standard trigon turning insert engineered for high-speed machining of cast iron under stable cutting conditions.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T5105 for high speeds
• Trigon plate WNMG060408 with 0° clearance angle
• Double-sided chipbreaker with cylindrical hole
• Corner radius 0.8 mm for consistent edge geometry

Longer tool life and reliable high-speed turning

The CVD-coated carbide composition T5105 offers enhanced wear resistance and thermal stability during high cutting speeds, which translates into fewer interruptions for tool changes and better process efficiency. For operations on cast iron, this combination maintains cutting-edge integrity and reduces built-up edge, enabling consistent surface finish and predictable tool life. The result is an economical machining cycle where component quality and throughput are improved.

Precise geometry for reproducible results

The trigon plate form and 0° clearance angle ensure a positive cutting geometry suited to stable setups. The insert’s corner radius (0.8 mm) and plate thickness (4.76 mm) provide mechanical strength at the tip, while the double-sided chipbreaker facilitates reversible indexing to fully exploit the insert life. Compatibility with the toolholder is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, attachment method, size and thickness, so matching the insert to an ISO-compliant holder is essential for secure clamping and repeatable performance.

System approach and application guidance

This insert is intended for both external and internal turning where a controlled chip flow is required. The system comprises the insert, a suitable external holder or boring bar, a subplate/clamping kit and replacement screws; correct assembly prevents vibration and supports optimal cutting conditions. Select the chipbreaker and grade based on workpiece material, machining type (roughing or finishing) and machine/tool stability to achieve the desired balance of productivity and surface quality.

Quick orientation on selection and process benefits

Choosing a CVD-coated carbide grade like T5105 is advisable for medium-to-high cutting speeds on cast iron when tool life and edge stability are priorities. A stable machine setup and adequate fixture rigidity will exploit the insert’s strengths: reduced flank wear, improved dimensional consistency and fewer tool changes. For applications outside the specified conditions, consider alternative grades or chipbreaker geometries matched to the material and process dynamics.

FAQ

What materials is this insert designed for?
The insert is specified for machining cast iron; the T5105 CVD-coated carbide composition is optimised for wear resistance and thermal stability in such applications.

How is compatibility with holders determined?
Compatibility depends on holder form, clearance angle, tolerance class, attachment method, size and thickness; ensure an ISO-compliant holder matching the WNMG060408 dimensions and clamping system.

Can the insert be used for both roughing and finishing?
Yes; with the appropriate chipbreaker choice and stable setup, the insert can serve in both roughing and finishing roles, balancing material removal rate and surface quality.

Is the insert indexable and reversible?
The plate is double-sided with a chipbreaker on both faces, allowing indexing to a fresh cutting edge and maximising the usable cutting life.

What are the defining geometric values to check before fitting?
Key values are the ISO designation (060408), corner radius (0.8 mm), plate thickness (4.76 mm), clearance angle (0°) and the trigon form for holder compatibility.
