DNMG 150608 T5105 turning insert (ISO) for turning — Tungaloy, 55° rhombic, cylindrical hole

DNMG 150608 T5105 is an ISO rhombic turning insert designed for productive, high-speed machining of cast iron under stable conditions.

• ISO-indexable rhombic insert 55°
• CVD-coated carbide grade T5105
• Optimised for high-speed cast iron turning
• Double-sided with cylindrical hole, 0.8 mm radius

High-speed performance from a CVD-coated carbide grade

The combination of a CVD coating with cemented carbide substrate offers improved wear resistance and thermal stability during elevated cutting speeds. This grade is formulated for the demands of cast iron turning, where abrasive wear and built-up edge can reduce tool life. The coating acts as a barrier against abrasive particles and heat, so the insert maintains a sharper cutting edge for longer, which translates into more consistent component tolerances and fewer tool changes. For manufacturing environments where cycle time and predictable performance matter, this geometry and coating yield measurable productivity gains.

Geometry and clamping for repeatable accuracy

The 55° rhombic geometry with a 0° relief and a 0.8 mm corner radius provides a balance between strength and versatility: it enables secure engagement in external and internal turning while supporting stable cutting on interrupted or continuous surfaces. The insert’s 6.35 mm thickness and cylindrical hole with double-sided seating allow for positive clamping in compatible holders, reducing micro-movement that can degrade surface finish. Using the ISO standard form simplifies inventory and replacement; compatibility depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, attachment method, size and thickness, so holders should be selected or verified accordingly to achieve repeatable alignment and optimum force transmission.

Chip control, economy and application guidance

A double-sided chipbreaker on this insert improves chip formation and evacuation when machining grey and nodular cast iron under stable setups, reducing the risk of entanglement and helping to protect the workpiece and toolholder. Effective chip control supports longer uninterrupted runs and reduces manual intervention. In practice, matching cutting data and coolant strategy to the workpiece and machine rigidity is crucial: the insert performs best in steady setups at higher cutting speeds typical for cast iron. For mixed-operation shops, the insert’s indexable nature offers economical edge usage—simply rotate to a fresh cutting edge when worn, maintaining production flow with low downtime.
