SNMG120412 T6215 Tungaloy indexable turning insert — CVD-coated carbide for stainless steel

A SNMG120412 T6215 indexable insert engineered for external and internal turning, optimised for stainless steel under stable to slightly interrupted cutting conditions.

• CVD-coated carbide for wear resistance
• Optimised for stainless steel turning
• ISO SNMG120412 square insert, 1.2 mm radius
• Double-sided chipbreaker for reliable chips
• 0° clearance angle, 12 mm size, 4.76 mm thickness

Consistent tool life through CVD-coated carbide

The CVD-coated carbide grade T6215 provides high wear resistance and thermal stability during continuous turning operations. Specified for machining stainless steel, this coating combination helps maintain a consistent cutting edge across longer cycles, reducing unscheduled tool changes and stabilising component tolerances. Where part runs demand reproducible results, the combination of coating and carbide substrate delivers measurable improvements in tool life and process reliability.

Improved surface finish and process productivity

A double-sided chipbreaker paired with a 1.2 mm corner radius balances edge strength and form control to produce improved surface finishes on external and internal profiles. The insert’s square geometry and 4.76 mm plate thickness increase rigidity, reducing vibration and enabling higher material removal rates with predictable tool behaviour. These characteristics translate into fewer rework operations and a clearer path to cost-efficient production.

Easy integration into ISO tool systems for repeatable performance

Designed to the ISO SNMG120412 form, compatibility with holders is determined by shape, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening and size; the cylindrical locating hole ensures secure positioning and repeatable clamping. This standardised approach simplifies inventory management and replacement planning in multi-machine shops. Clear identification and consistent geometry support quick tool swaps and help maintain steady cycle times across diverse turning tasks.
