DNMG150404 KS05F Tungaloy turning insert — rhombic 55° carbide, double-sided chipbreaker

DNMG150404 KS05F Tungaloy turning insert for ISO‑standard external and internal turning, designed to balance wear resistance and edge stability in a range of production tasks.

• ISO-standard rhombic insert, 55° approach
• KS05F grade for wear resistance and toughness
• Double-sided chipbreaker for versatile turning
• Cylindrical hole for secure screw clamping

Consistent cutting performance through material and grade

The KS05F grade, developed by Tungaloy, combines cemented carbide hardness with a degree of toughness that keeps the cutting edge stable under typical turning loads. This balance reduces the frequency of index changes and supports steady production cycles. The insert’s rhombic shape and the specified corner radius of 0.4 mm provide a compromise between edge strength and surface finish, making the insert suitable for general turning tasks where tool life and predictable wear behaviour are priorities. Selecting the correct chipbreaker geometry and cutting parameters enhances tool life and machining predictability.

Secure mounting and ISO compatibility reduce setup risk

Compatibility with turning holders depends on form, relief angle, tolerance class, clamping and thickness; the DNMG150404 design follows ISO conventions to simplify selection of matching holders. The insert is supplied with a cylindrical hole, allowing secure clamping by a screw and minimising play in the tool seat. When assembled as a system—insert, matching outer holder or boring bar, shim/clamp set and replacement screws—this configuration helps to maintain repeatable positioning and reduces downtime from rework or misalignment.

Practical benefits in production environments

The double-sided chipbreaker doubles usable edges and shortens tool change cycles, while the 55° approach angle moderates cutting forces and can improve surface finish on facing and profiling operations. The insert’s 4.76 mm plate thickness contributes to edge support, and the plate form (rhombic) permits both external and internal turning with straightforward indexing. Where stability is limited, choose a more robust chipbreaker or reduce overhang; where finish is critical, pair the insert with a finely tuned feed and speed to exploit the small corner radius.

Guidance on selection, handling and indexing

This indexable component is supplied as a standard ISO turning insert and can be rotated or indexed to present fresh cutting edges as wear occurs, yielding economical use of material. Handle the insert with care to avoid chipping the cutting edge; always ensure replacement screws and clamps are torqued to the holder manufacturer’s specification.

FAQ

What work is the insert intended for? The DNMG150404 KS05F Tungaloy turning insert (SKU 6934797-Tungaloy) is intended for ISO‑standard external and internal turning operations where a balance of wear resistance and edge stability is required.

How is the insert fixed in the holder? The insert features a cylindrical hole and is clamped with a screw; compatibility with a given holder is determined by form, relief angle, tolerance class, clamping and thickness, so the matching holder must be selected accordingly for the DNMG150404 KS05F.

Is the insert reversible or single-use per edge? This indexable insert uses a double-sided chipbreaker, allowing multiple edges to be indexed; the design permits rotation or indexing to present fresh edges and extend service life for the DNMG150404 KS05F.

What effect does the 0.4 mm corner radius have? A corner radius of 0.4 mm provides a compromise between edge strength and surface finish: it improves edge robustness compared with smaller radii while still enabling good surface quality in general turning tasks.

Can this insert be used for internal boring as well as external turning? Yes, the rhombic DNMG150404 KS05F is suitable for both external and internal turning; adjust tool overhang and cutting parameters to match stability and finish requirements.
