TNMG160412 T6215 Tungaloy turning insert — CVD-coated carbide, 60° triangular

A TNMG160412 T6215 indexable turning insert designed for ISO-compliant external and internal turning, suited to stable or slightly interrupted cutting of stainless steel.

• CVD-coated wear-resistant grade T6215
• ISO TNMG 160412 triangular form
• 60° cutting angle, 0° clearance angle
• Double-sided chipbreaker, with cylindrical hole

Efficient wear resistance for consistent production

The insert delivers durable performance thanks to the CVD coating and the T6215 grade, which provide improved wear resistance during extended cycles. This characteristic reduces the frequency of regrinding or replacement, lowering total tooling cost and contributing to a smoother production flow. Because the insert is manufactured to ISO dimensions, it ensures interchangeability with standard holders when form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening and thickness are matched, simplifying logistics and stock management.

Geometry that balances strength and surface quality

Engineered geometry combines a 60° triangle with a 1.2 mm radius and a 0° clearance angle, offering a robust cutting edge for medium feeds while keeping cutting forces manageable. The 4.76 mm thickness increases rigidity in overhung setups, helping to limit chatter and secure repeatable surface finishes. The double-sided chipbreaker supports controlled chip formation for turning operations, making the insert suitable for both stable and lightly interrupted cuts and enhancing process stability.

Practical integration and material guidance

Optimised for turning, the insert is a pragmatic choice for applications on stainless steel where tool life, reproducibility and surface quality matter. Compatibility with a matching external holder or boring bar, plus appropriate shim/clamping sets and replacement screws, completes the system for reliable operation. For uncertain applications or to select the best chipbreaker and holder pairings, technical consultation is available to align cutting data, machine rigidity and workpiece material with the insert’s capabilities.
