DNMG150608 T5115 indexable insert for turning — Tungaloy

The DNMG150608 T5115 indexable insert is designed for versatile external and internal turning, offering a balanced mix of wear resistance and cutting-edge stability for cast iron machining.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T5115
• ISO-standard DNMG 150608 geometry
• Double-sided chipbreaker for longer tool life
• Cylindrical hole for secure clamping

Consistent cutting performance with CVD-coated carbide

The insert’s CVD-coated carbide grade T5115 provides a controlled combination of wear resistance and edge stability, which benefits cycle times and part repeatability when machining cast iron. Chemical vapour deposition (CVD) forms a hard, wear-resistant layer that reduces flank wear and extends edge life under intermittent cuts. In practice, this means fewer insert changes and steadier surface quality across production runs. The rhombic plate geometry and 55° cutting angle enable reliable entry and exit behaviour in external and internal turning, while the ISO designation ensures compatibility with standard holders.

Secure clamping and optimised chip control for predictable results

The plate’s cylindrical hole and 6.35 mm thickness deliver robust clamping and repeatable seating in compatible ISO toolholders, reducing the risk of vibration-related edge deterioration. The double-sided chipbreaker offers two usable cutting edges per indexation, improving economic efficiency by doubling service life compared with single-sided options. A corner radius of 0.8 mm provides a compromise between edge strength and surface finish: larger radii support higher feed rates and stronger cutting edges, while still delivering acceptable part quality in many turning operations.

System integration and application guidance for stable machining

The item fits into an ISO indexable insert system consisting of a matching external holder or boring bar, support pads or clamping set, and replacement screws; correct selection of form, clearance angle and tolerance class determines compatibility. For cast iron applications, the T5115 grade is tuned to strike a balance between tool life and edge integrity, while the rhombic plate shape and 55° approach angle are suited to both finishing and medium-duty roughing passes. When selecting the chipbreaker and insert grade, consider workpiece rigidity, machine power and the required surface specification to achieve a stable process and predictable machining economy.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The DNMG150608 T5115 insert is specified as a universal grade for cast iron, offering a balance of wear resistance and edge stability that suits a wide range of cast iron turning tasks.

How does the CVD coating affect tool life?
A CVD-coated carbide like T5115 provides a hard, abrasion-resistant surface that reduces flank wear and extends cutting-edge life under typical turning loads for cast iron.

Is the DNMG150608 compatible with standard ISO holders?
Yes; the geometry, thickness and fastening arrangement correspond to ISO standards, so the insert is compatible with matching DNMG‑type holders when the clearance angle and tolerance class align.

What benefit does the double-sided chipbreaker provide?
A double-sided chipbreaker supplies two usable cutting edges per indexation and improved chip formation, increasing cost-efficiency and maintaining process stability across multiple tool changes.

Does the corner radius influence surface finish?
The 0.8 mm corner radius offers a compromise between edge strength and finish quality: it enhances edge robustness while still permitting fine surface results with appropriate feeds and speeds.
