DCMW 11T304 T5115 turning indexable insert — Tungaloy, 55° rhombic, 0.4 mm radius

A DCMW 11T304 T5115 turning insert engineered for high-feed, productive roughing in stable clamping conditions within turning operations.

• TurnTenFeed family for high-feed roughing
• CVD-coated carbide grade T5115
• Rhombic 55° geometry, 0.4 mm corner radius
• Designed for cast iron applications

Productive high-feed roughing that reduces cycle times

The TurnTenFeed series is developed for high-feed cutting and efficient roughing cycles. With a CVD-coated carbide grade T5115, the insert offers a balanced combination of wear resistance and cutting-edge stability that translates into longer effective tool life during interrupted cuts and heavy stock removal. In practical terms, this means fewer tool changes and more uptime on batch turning tasks when the set-up is rigid and secure. The coating’s characteristic improves thermal resistance and wear behaviour on cast iron, enabling stable performance across extended runs.

Geometry tuned for consistent edge life and secure clamping

A 55° rhombic geometry with a 0.4 mm corner radius and a 7° clearance angle provides a compromise between strength and accessibility: the geometry supports robust cutting edges for deep cuts while maintaining a controllable contact zone for predictable surface quality. The insert’s 3.97 mm thickness and central hole with a cylindrical seat plus single-sided countersink (40°–60°) ensure reliable seating in compatible holders, reducing micro-movements that can degrade edge life. For less experienced readers, the corner radius governs the balance between edge robustness and achievable surface finish, while the clearance angle prevents rubbing behind the edge during engagement.

System approach and material versatility for practical workshop use

Delivered as part of a system that includes holders, indexable plates and spare parts, the insert supports streamlined tool management. The universal nature of the T5115 grade makes it particularly appropriate for a wide range of cast iron machining tasks, providing stable chip formation and repeatable results. Without a dedicated chipbreaker, the insert relies on the combination of geometry and feed strategy for chip control; this favours applications where process parameters are consistent and clamping is rigid. The upshot for production planners is improved predictability and efficient material removal rates when pairing the insert with appropriate high-feed turning holders.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for? This insert is supplied in Tungaloy’s T5115 CVD-coated carbide grade and is optimised for machining cast iron, offering balanced wear resistance and cutting-edge stability.

How does the 55° rhombic geometry affect machining? The 55° rhombic geometry provides a robust cutting edge for heavy cuts while maintaining accessibility for turning operations; the geometry supports stable cutting when clamping is rigid.

Is there a chipbreaker on the insert? No, this indexable insert does not feature a chipbreaker; chip control is achieved through the combination of geometry, feed selection and stable clamping conditions.

What does the 0.4 mm corner radius mean for surface finish? A 0.4 mm corner radius increases edge strength and is well suited to roughing; surface finish will be influenced by feed rate and cutting parameters, with finer radii typically yielding improved finish at the cost of edge robustness.

Which holder types are compatible with this insert? The insert is intended for compatible high-feed turning holders that accept size 11 rhombic plates and a centrally clamped, countersunk seat as specified.

How does the T5115 coating contribute to tool life? The CVD coating on grade T5115 enhances thermal and abrasive wear performance, supporting longer tool life and consistent performance in high-feed roughing applications.
