TNMG 160404 T5105 Turning insert by Tungaloy — CVD-coated carbide, 0.4 mm corner radius

The TNMG160404 T5105 is an ISO-standard, triangular turning insert engineered for high-speed machining of cast iron in stable turning operations.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T5105
• ISO TNMG 160404 triangular insert
• 0.4 mm corner radius for fine finishes
• Double-sided with cylindrical hole

Consistent performance for cast-iron turning

The CVD-coated carbide grade T5105 delivers a balance of wear resistance and thermal stability that benefits high-speed machining of cast iron. Under steady cutting conditions the coating reduces flank wear and helps maintain a consistent tool life, which in turn contributes to predictable cycle times and fewer tool changes. The result is improved process reliability and a more economical turning operation when machining grey and ductile cast irons at elevated speeds.

Accurate fit and secure clamping for repeatable results

As an ISO TNMG 160404 style insert, compatibility with the chosen holder depends on form, free rake angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The insert has a nominal size of 16 mm and a plate thickness of 4.76 mm, with a 0° free angle and a cylindrical hole for standard clamping screws. Ensuring the holder matches these parameters guarantees correct seat geometry and repeatable positioning, which is essential for maintaining cutting stability and surface quality over production runs.

Economy through indexing and refined surface finish

The triangular shape with an included angle of 60° and a 0.4 mm corner radius provides a practical compromise between strength and surface finish. Being double-sided offers multiple indexed cutting edges per insert, increasing usable cutting edges and lowering unit cost per edge. The modest radius supports improved surface quality on external and internal turning while the insert geometry assists in controlled chip formation when paired with a suitable chipbreaker and cutting parameters.

Practical guidance and direct technical assistance

To achieve the intended benefits, integrate the insert into a complete system: matching outer holder or boring bar, shim/clamp set and appropriate fixing screws. This insert performs best under stable clamping and process conditions; choose a chipbreaker and grade pairing tailored to the workpiece and machining strategy. For questions about suitability, feeds and speeds or to verify holder compatibility, Metav Werkzeuge provides technical assistance and application advice to support machining optimisation.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The TNMG160404 T5105 insert is designed primarily for high-speed machining of cast iron; the T5105 CVD-coated carbide offers wear resistance under stable cutting conditions.

How is the insert secured to the holder?
This insert features a cylindrical hole for screw clamping; compatibility requires a holder matching the insert’s form, thickness (4.76 mm), size (16 mm), free angle (0°) and tolerance class.

How many cutting edges are available per insert?
The triangular, double-sided construction provides multiple indexable edges; indexing extends usable life compared with single-edge solutions.

Which corner radius and included angle should be chosen for a fine surface?
The 0.4 mm corner radius combined with the 60° included angle is suitable for improved surface finish on external and internal turning while maintaining edge strength.

Can the TNMG160404 T5105 be used for internal and external turning?
Yes, the insert is suitable for both external and internal turning applications when paired with the appropriate holder and process parameters.
