TNMG 160408 AH6235 turning insert — TNMG turning insert by Tungaloy (PVD‑coated carbide, 60°)

A TNMG160408 AH6235 indexable insert engineered for ISO‑standard external and internal turning, optimised for stainless steels and applications with interrupted cuts.

• TNMG ISO 160408 geometry
• PVD‑coated carbide AH6235 grade
• 0.8 mm corner radius for edge strength
• Double‑sided chipbreaker, cylindrical hole

High cutting reliability for stainless steels and interrupted cuts

The PVD‑coated carbide grade AH6235 provides a balance of toughness and wear resistance that suits machining of stainless steels and operations prone to built‑up edge or intermittent engagement. The coating reduces adhesive wear and improves edge life, which translates into fewer tool changes and steadier cycle times. For production environments where breakouts can occur, the tougher substrate maintains cutting integrity and reduces the risk of premature chipping.

Precise geometry and secure ISO compatibility for predictable results

With the triangular 60° geometry, 0° clearance angle and a 0.8 mm corner radius, the insert offers a compromise between durable cutting edge and acceptable form tolerance for finishing and light roughing. The standard ISO designation ensures compatibility with matching TNMG holders; compatibility depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness, so selecting the correct clamping set and seat will deliver the expected repeatability and positional stability during turning operations.

Practical system use, productivity and reduced downtime

The double‑sided chipbreaker and cylindrical hole design permit straightforward indexing and secure fastening, enabling cost‑effective use of both cutting edges before replacement. When integrated into a conventional ISO turning assembly — insert, external holder or boring bar, shim/clamp set and replacement screws — the component supports productive machining cycles. For operations targeting surface quality and process stability, the combination of grade, geometry and chip control helps lower downtime and overall tooling cost per part.
