CNMG160612 T6215 turning insert for turning — Tungaloy

A CNMG160612 T6215 indexable turning insert designed for external and internal turning, optimised for stainless-steel machining under stable to slightly interrupted conditions.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T6215
• Optimised for stainless steels
• Rhombic ISO CNMG 16 × 6.35 profile
• Double-sided chipbreaker with cylindrical hole

Consistent wear resistance for dependable production

The CVD-coated grade T6215 provides enhanced abrasion resistance suited to the demands of machining stainless steels. The deposit and substrate combination reduces flank and crater wear during longer cycles, which translates into prolonged tool life and fewer interruptions in production. For operations prioritising predictable tool change intervals and repeatable surface quality, this wear-resistant grade supports higher process reliability and lower overall tooling cost per part.

Precision geometry that improves machining stability

The rhombic CNMG geometry with an 80° wedge and a 1.2 mm corner radius gives a balanced edge that tolerates varying cutting directions while maintaining cutting stability. The 6.35 mm plate thickness contributes to rigidity, and the double-sided chipbreaker helps control chip formation in both light and moderate cutting conditions. These geometry choices reduce vibration and promote consistent dimensional accuracy when matched with a correctly specified holder and clamping arrangement.

Easy integration into ISO tool systems for faster set-up

As an ISO-standard indexable insert, compatibility is defined by form, clearance, tolerance class, fastening and plate dimensions, so interchangeability with suitable holders and boring bars is straightforward. The recommended system includes the insert, an appropriate external holder or boring bar, a shim/clamping set and replacement screws for safe mounting. For application-specific guidance on selecting the optimal chipbreaker and cutting data, Metav Werkzeuge can provide technical advice to align the insert performance with production goals.

FAQ

What materials is this grade best suited for?
The CNMG160612 T6215 Tungaloy turning insert is specified for stainless steels, offering improved wear resistance for that material group.

Can this insert be used for both external and internal turning?
Yes. The geometry and mounting style of the CNMG insert support both external and internal turning when combined with a compatible holder or boring bar.

Is the coating type suitable for semi-continuous cuts?
The T6215 grade is a CVD-coated carbide designed for stable to slightly interrupted cutting conditions, making it appropriate for many semi-continuous stainless-steel operations.

How does the CNMG geometry affect chip control?
The rhombic CNMG form with a double-sided chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation across a range of feeds and depths, aiding consistent surface finish and reduced rework.

What should be considered when choosing a holder for this insert?
Compatibility depends on shape, clearance, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness; pairing the CNMG insert with the correct holder and clamping components is essential for process stability
