TNMG 160404 T6215 indexable insert for turning — Tungaloy

A TNMG160404 T6215 Tungaloy indexable insert engineered for ISO-standard external and internal turning, optimised for rostfreier Stahl in stable to mildly interrupted conditions

• CVD-coated carbide grade T6215
• Optimised for rostfreier Stahl turning
• Triangular 16 mm plate with 0.4 mm radius
• Double-sided chipbreaker, cylindrical hole

Robust wear resistance for longer production runs

The CVD-coated carbide T6215 grade delivers high wear resistance, specifically developed for machining rostfreier Stahl under stable or slightly interrupted cutting conditions. The chemical vapour deposition layer reduces flank wear and supports a consistent surface finish, which in turn lowers the frequency of insert changes and interruptions to production. For operations seeking improved uptime and predictable tool life, the coating and carbide substrate together form a cost-effective solution that balances performance and longevity.

Precise geometry and secure fit for reliable cuts

Designed as an ISO-standard triangular insert, the 16 mm plate with a 0.4 mm nose radius and a nominal 60° geometry provides a balance between strength and detail in the cutting edge. The insert’s cylindrical hole and defined thickness (4.76 mm) ensure compatibility with matching toolholders when form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening and size are respected. Clear guidance on holder selection reduces setup time and ensures a secure clamping arrangement, which is essential for maintaining dimensional accuracy and repeatable machining results.

Economical indexing and easy system integration

The double-sided chipbreaker design allows the insert to be indexed for extended usable life, improving cost-efficiency in batch production. As an ISO insert, it integrates into standard systems comprising the insert, a suitable external holder or boring bar, shims/clamping sets and replacement screws. Choosing the correct chipbreaker and grade for the workpiece material and machining stability minimises burr formation and enhances productivity, supporting both high-volume turning and precision finishing operations.

FAQ

What materials is this insert recommended for?
The TNMG160404 T6215 insert by Tungaloy is recommended for rostfreier Stahl and similar alloys, where the CVD-coated carbide grade provides improved wear resistance and consistent finish.

How does the chipbreaker affect performance?
The double-sided chipbreaker on this indexable turning insert helps control chip form and evacuation during cutting, improving process stability and extending the effective life of the insert.

Is the insert compatible with standard ISO holders?
Yes, the TNMG160404 follows ISO geometry; compatibility with a specific holder depends on form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening and size — ensure the holder matches the insert's 16 mm plate size and hole style.

What are the key geometry specifications to check before purchase?
Confirm the 16 mm plate size, 4.76 mm thickness, 0.4 mm nose radius and the cylindrical hole style; these dimensions determine clamping, stiffness and suitability for the intended turning task.

Can this insert be used for interrupted cuts?
The T6215 grade is designed for stable to mildly interrupted conditions; for heavy interruptions, consider assessment of cutting parameters and stability of the chosen holder system.
