• Square 12 mm plate, 4.76 mm thick

Achieve higher productivity in medium-steel turning

The combination of a CVD-coated surface and the T9215 grade carbide delivers a tangible increase in tool life under continuous and mildly interrupted cuts. This indexable insert provides consistent cutting-edge performance, reducing changeover frequency and enhancing process stability. The T9215 coating balances wear resistance and fracture toughness, which is especially beneficial when targeting higher material removal rates in medium steels. As a result, machining cycles are more predictable and overall throughput improves while maintaining surface quality.

Easy integration with ISO toolholders and secure clamping

Designed as an ISO-standard SNMG insert, the plate fits a wide range of holders when matched by shape, clearance angle, tolerance class, attachment method, size and thickness. The 0° clearance angle and square plate form ensure predictable engagement with the workpiece and aid repeatable set-up. Compatibility is ensured by verifying the holder’s seat dimensions and screw or clamp arrangement; when matched correctly, the insert delivers stable cutting conditions and reduced vibration, which supports longer tool and holder life.

Reliable chip control and consistent edge performance

The insert features a double-sided chipbreaker and a cylindrical hole for secure fastening, promoting controlled chip formation and evacuation during turning operations. The 0.8 mm corner radius and 4.76 mm thickness provide robust edge support, minimising the risk of edge chipping under load and improving dimensional stability. These design elements combine to offer a cost-effective solution for repetitive turning tasks, where consistent surface finish and extended insert life translate into lower total machining costs.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The SNMG120408 T9215 turning insert by Tungaloy is optimised for medium steels; the T9215 grade combines wear resistance with fracture safety for productive steel turning.

Can this insert be used in interrupted cuts?
Yes. The T9215-coated carbide and robust 0.8 mm corner radius allow the insert to perform well under continuous and mildly interrupted cutting conditions.

How does the double-sided chipbreaker help in production?
The double-sided chipbreaker on the SNMG120408 promotes predictable chip formation and evacuation, improving surface finish and reducing the likelihood of recutting chips.

Which holder features must be checked before installation?
Ensure matching by seat form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, plate size and thickness; correct matching secures the insert and maintains stable cutting performance.
