TCMT 16T302 T6215 indexable turning insert – triangular ISO insert for turning, Tungaloy

TCMT16T302-PS T6215 insert for ISO-compliant turning of stainless steels, designed for stable cutting conditions and straightforward replacement in standard indexable holders

• ISO triangular turning insert TCMT 16T302
• CVD-coated T6215 grade for stainless steels
• 0.2 mm corner radius, 60° included angle
• Cylindrical hole with single-side countersink

Precision wear control for stainless-steel turning

The insert delivers consistent performance thanks to its CVD-coated composition and T6215 grade, providing enhanced resistance against abrasive and adhesive wear common in machining stainless steels. CVD coating creates a hard, thermally stable outer layer that reduces flank wear and extends tool life; this results in fewer index changes and more predictable process windows. The design supports machining under stable to slightly interrupted conditions, reducing scrap rates and improving process efficiency for serial production and jobbing environments.

Compatibility and secure clamping to reduce downtime

Compatibility with the toolholder is defined by form, clearance angle (7°), tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness. The triangular geometry with a 60° included angle and central fixing hole means the insert seats securely in conventional indexable turning holders. The cylindrical hole with a single-side countersink (40°–60°) ensures reliable clamping and repeatable seating, which minimises vibration and helps maintain consistent cutting conditions over repeated insert exchanges.

Geometry and chip control that boost productivity

A 0.2 mm corner radius balances cutting-edge strength and profile accuracy: it offers sufficient edge robustness for interrupted cuts while keeping surface finish and dimensional control at acceptable levels. The integrated PS chipbreaker is tuned for stainless-steel cutting dynamics, promoting controllable chip forms and aiding coolant penetration. The insert’s 3.97 mm thickness contributes to rigidity in the clamped assembly, lowering the risk of chatter and enabling higher metal removal rates where machine and setup permit.

Choosing the right insert for the task

As part of an ISO insert system, selection should consider holder type, workpiece material, and process stability. For turning stainless steels under steady conditions, the T6215 grade offers a cost-effective balance of wear resistance and edge life. When process variations or heavy interruptions are expected, opting for a different chipbreaker or a larger corner radius may be advisable. Consult the technical drawing of the insert pocket and the holder’s clearance specifications to confirm fit and to ensure cutting parameters are matched to the insert’s capabilities.
