TNMA160416 T5125 Tungaloy indexable insert for Turning – CVD-coated carbide, 60° triangle

The TNMA160416 T5125 Tungaloy insert is an ISO triangular indexable insert designed for external and internal turning, optimised for interrupted cuts and less rigid setups

• TNMA160416 indexable insert, triangle, 60° geometry
• CVD-coated carbide grade T5125 for cast iron
• 1.6 mm corner radius for stable roughing
• Cylindrical-hole design, 4.76 mm thickness

Consistent performance where interruptions occur

The combination of a CVD-coated carbide substrate and the T5125 grade delivers a tougher cutting edge designed specifically for machining cast iron under interrupted cuts or in less rigid setups. The coating improves wear resistance and supports a longer usable edge life, while the tougher substrate reduces the risk of premature chipping when the cut is uneven. This makes the insert particularly suitable for operations where reproducible tool life matters and where tool changes interrupt workflow less frequently. The triangular 60° geometry provides multiple cutting corners, keeping downtime to a minimum and supporting efficient tool rotation strategies.

Seamless fit into ISO tool systems for predictable set-up

Produced to ISO standards, the insert’s compatibility with a holder depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness. The 0° clearance angle, 16 mm size and 4.76 mm thickness combine with the cylindrical hole to ensure a secure and repeatable mount in compatible holders or boring bars. Clear, standardised dimensions reduce set-up time and simplify inventory management across turning centres. For flexible workshop planning, the ISO conformity allows straightforward substitution and predictable performance when replacing worn inserts in both external and internal turning applications.

Stable cutting and productivity gains with the right geometry

A 1.6 mm corner radius strengthens the cutting edge for robust roughing and semi-finishing, reducing edge deformation and improving process stability. The triangular plate shape offers economical use of corners, while the absence of an integrated chipbreaker on this grade means chip control must be addressed via cutting data and holder selection. When combined with suitable clamping hardware and correct feeds and speeds, users can expect consistent surface quality and longer tool life per index, which supports more productive machining cycles and lower overall tooling costs per part.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited to machine?
The TNMA160416 T5125 insert is specified for cast iron applications, with the T5125 grade chosen to perform well under interrupted cutting conditions.

Does this insert include a chipbreaker?
This indexable insert is supplied without a built-in chipbreaker, so chip control should be managed via holder selection and cutting parameters.

How is the insert secured in a holder?
Compatibility and secure mounting are achieved through the insert’s form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size (16 mm) and thickness (4.76 mm); the cylindrical hole allows conventional clamping systems to be used.

Is the insert suitable for internal as well as external turning?
Yes, the ISO triangular format and the 60° geometry make the insert appropriate for both external and internal turning when a matching holder or boring bar is used.

What distinguishes the T5125 grade from other grades?
The T5125 is a tougher, CVD-coated carbide grade intended to handle interrupted cuts and less stable machining conditions, prioritising edge strength and resistance to chipping.
