TCMT 16T304 T6215 – TCMT ISO turning insert for Drehen by Tungaloy

The TCMT16T304 T6215 is an ISO triangular turning insert designed for stable to lightly interrupted machining of rostfreier Stahl, offering a CVD-coated carbide grade optimised for consistent chip control.

• TCMT ISO insert for turning operations
• CVD-coated carbide grade T6215 for rostfreier Stahl
• Triangle form with 60° geometry and 0.4 mm radius
• Central hole with cylindrical bore and 40°–60° countersink

Process reliability for machining rostfreier Stahl

The combination of a CVD-coated surface and the T6215 wear-resistant grade delivers predictable tool life under steady cutting conditions. This cutting insert supports consistent chip formation and a stable cutting edge, reducing flank wear and helping to maintain surface integrity on rostfreier Stahl components. The material choice—a grade of carbide engineered for abrasion resistance—translates into fewer tool changes and more reliable batch production when machining shafts, housings or general turned parts.

ISO conformity and secure retention for flexible tool setups

Built to ISO dimensions, the insert’s compatibility depends on form, free angle and tolerance class; the 60° triangle geometry and 7° clearance must match the chosen holder. The plate’s 3.97 mm thickness and triangular form with a central hole (cylindrical bore plus one-sided countersink) ensure secure clamping and repeatable positioning in standard TCMT holders. Selecting a matched holder and the correct clamping set keeps mounting precise and reduces the risk of vibration or poor contact, which benefits both surface finish and tool life.

Productivity and application-focused advantages for turning (Drehen)

As an indexable option, this insert minimises changeover time and simplifies tool management on the shop floor. The 0.4 mm nose radius provides a balance between finish and strength, suitable for fine to medium turning tasks. With a one-sided chipbreaker, the insert helps evacuate chips effectively under the specified cutting conditions, supporting steady metal removal rates and improved process stability. Choosing the correct chipbreaker and grade delivers measurable gains in machining efficiency and component quality.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for? This insert is specified for rostfreier Stahl machining; the T6215 CVD-coated grade and carbide substrate are optimised for wear resistance in that material.

Which holders are compatible with this insert? Compatibility depends on holder form, free angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; the TCMT ISO design requires a matching TCMT-style external holder or toolholder with appropriate clamping and support.

How does the 0.4 mm radius affect machining results? A 0.4 mm nose radius balances surface finish and edge strength, offering improved finish for medium to fine turning while maintaining sufficient durability under stable cutting conditions.

Is this insert reversible or indexed? The triangular plate offers multiple indexing positions per edge; the insert is indexable, enabling rotation to a fresh cutting edge and reducing tool change frequency.
