LNMX 160612 T9115 turning insert — Tungaloy carbide, rectangular, 1.2 mm radius

The LNMX160612 T9115 is an ISO‑standard rectangular turning insert designed for general external and internal turning applications where a balance of wear resistance and edge stability is required.

• ISO‑standard LNMX160612 format
• T9115 carbide grade for wear control
• 1.2 mm corner radius for edge strength
• Rectangular insert, 6.35 mm thickness

Stable cutting performance for demanding turning

The T9115 grade, developed by Tungaloy, combines carbide substrate properties that favour a controlled compromise between wear resistance and toughness. This balance reduces unexpected edge chipping during interrupted cuts and contributes to more consistent component batches. For machining tasks where repeatability and predictable tool life matter, the combination of grade and geometry helps maintain stable cutting forces and a uniform surface finish.

Compatibility that simplifies tool selection

Being an ISO‑standard insert, the format and dimensions are set to fit compatible toolholders when form, 0° relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness match. The standardised geometry shortens setup time and simplifies toolholder inventory management. Selecting a matching chipbreaker and grade according to workpiece material and stability yields efficient machining cycles and fewer tool changes.

Edge stability and improved surface quality

A 1.2 mm corner radius increases edge strength and helps produce improved part surfaces in typical turning operations. The larger corner radius spreads cutting forces over a bigger area, reducing local stress and prolonging edge life while smoothing the workpiece finish. For components requiring consistent dimensional quality, this geometry supports reduced rework and less polishing.

System approach for productive machining

The insert is intended to be used as part of a system: ISO turning insert, an appropriate external holder or boring bar, shim/clamp set and replacement screws. A matched system reduces vibration and supports higher productivity and consistent chip evacuation. When combined with a suitable chipbreaker and cutting conditions adapted to the material being machined, the setup delivers efficient material removal with predictable tool life.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The LNMX160612 T9115 insert is specified for standard turning tasks; its T9115 carbide grade provides a broad material coverage that balances wear resistance and toughness for many steels and alloyed materials.

How does the 1.2 mm corner radius affect machining?
A 1.2 mm radius increases edge strength and improves surface finish by distributing cutting forces, which helps to reduce chipping and achieve more consistent part quality during turning.

Which holders fit this insert format?
Holders compatible with the ISO LNMX160612 geometry and matching relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness are required to secure correct fit and function.

Is this an original Tungaloy product and what is the SKU?
Yes, this is an original Tungaloy turning insert; the SKU is 6861504-Tungaloy and the manufacturer article number is 6861504.

Can this insert be used for internal as well as external turning?
The insert is suitable for both external and internal turning operations provided the chosen holder and machining stability match the application.
