TCMT 110304 T5115 TCMT — Tungaloy turning insert (CVD-coated carbide, triangular, 0.4 mm radius)

TCMT110304 T5115 Tungaloy turning insert is an ISO-format indexable insert designed for general turning applications, especially adapted for cast-iron machining with a focus on stable edge life and consistent chip control

• ISO triangular insert TCMT110304
• CVD-coated carbide grade T5115
• 0.4 mm corner radius, 7° clearance
• Cylindrical hole with single-side countersink

Productivity gains through a balanced cutting grade

The TCMT110304 is supplied in the CVD-coated carbide grade T5115, a universal choice for machining cast iron thanks to its even compromise between wear resistance and edge stability. This balance translates into fewer insert changes, predictable cycle times and reduced tool-related downtime on the shop floor. The coated substrate helps maintain flank and crater wear at acceptable levels while offering good surface quality on ferritic and grey cast irons. For production environments and job shops aiming to keep throughput high without complex optimisation, this grade delivers measurable process stability.

Secure mounting and simple integration into ISO systems

The insert follows ISO conventions for shape, tolerance and fastening, so compatibility with matching clamping components is governed by form, relief angle, tolerance class, attachment style, size and thickness. The ISO geometry includes a cylindrical hole with a single-side countersink, enabling dependable clamping on standard triangular pockets. When combined with an appropriate external holder or boring bar, plus a suitable shim and clamping set, the assembly provides repeatable seating and cutting-edge security. Metav Werkzeuge can advise on the correct matching holder and clamping hardware to ensure immediate interchangeability and minimal set-up time.

Geometry and chip control that reduce rework

A triangular form with a 60° included angle, 0.4 mm corner radius and single-sided chipbreaker offers versatility for both external and internal turning tasks. The insert’s 3.18 mm thickness and size 11 datum give sufficient rigidity for light to medium cuts while the single-sided chipbreaker helps form short, controllable chips in interrupted or continuous turning of cast-iron workpieces. These geometric choices reduce the likelihood of edge chipping under variable feed and depth conditions and simplify post-machining operations by improving surface finish consistency.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert best suited for?
The Tungaloy TCMT110304 in grade T5115 is optimised for machining cast iron; the T5115 composition balances wear resistance and edge stability for reliable cast-iron performance.

Is the TCMT110304 compatible with standard ISO triangular holders?
Yes — the insert follows ISO geometry; compatibility depends on holder form, relief angle, tolerance class, attachment type, size and thickness.

What does the single-sided chipbreaker deliver in practice?
The single-sided chipbreaker on the TCMT110304 produces shorter, controlled chips during turning, which reduces swarf issues and improves surface finish on cast-iron components.

How should the insert be clamped for repeatable results?
Use a matching external holder or boring bar with the correct shim and clamping set; the cylindrical hole and countersink ensure secure seating when the correct hardware is applied.

Can the TCMT110304 be used for both roughing and finishing?
Yes — with suitable feeds and depths the triangular form and 0.4 mm corner radius allow flexibility between light finishing cuts and more aggressive material removal, depending on stability and machine capability.
