TNMG 160408 T6215 indexable turning insert — Tungaloy, CVD-coated carbide for stainless steels, ISO turning application

TNMG160408 T6215 is an indexable turning insert designed for external and internal turning in stainless steels, offering robust wear resistance under stable to slightly interrupted cuts

• ISO-compliant triangular insert with 60° geometry
• CVD-coated carbide grade T6215 for rostfreier Stahl
• Double-sided chipbreaker for extended edge life
• 0.8 mm corner radius for improved strength

Reliable performance for stainless-steel turning operations

The CVD-coated carbide grade T6215 delivers reliable wear resistance in the machining of rostfreier Stahl, which reduces unscheduled tool changes and improves process uptime. With a grade formulated for stable to lightly interrupted cuts, operators achieve consistent surface quality and predictable flank wear. The coating technology provides a thermal and abrasive barrier that helps maintain edge integrity during extended cycles, so machining windows remain stable over time.

Fast changeover and assured holder compatibility

Designed to the ISO turning insert series, the geometry and dimensions guarantee compatibility with standard turning holders when matched by form, relief angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness. The triangular form with a 60° included angle and a cylindrical hole permits secure clamping and straightforward indexing, supporting quick changeovers and reduced fixture time. This results in smoother shop-floor logistics and shorter machine downtime when inserts are rotated or replaced.

Controlled chip formation and process stability

A double-sided chipbreaker tailored for this grade promotes predictable chip control when turning ductile or work‑hardening stainless steels, aiding safe evacuation and minimising rework. The 0.8 mm corner radius offers a compromise between edge strength and dimensional capability, supporting both finishing and light turning passes while reducing the risk of premature chipping under moderate radial engagement.

Practical build and dimensional clarity for reliable setup

With a plate thickness of 4.76 mm and a nominal plate size of 16, the insert provides the rigidity needed for stable cutting. The indexable insert concept with two usable cutting faces per side extends the effective number of edges, which helps lower tooling costs per produced component. The standardised ISO code and clear mechanical values simplify ordering and inventory management across production lines.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for machining stainless steel?
Yes. The TNMG 160408 T6215 is a CVD-coated carbide indexable insert from Tungaloy optimised for machining rostfreier Stahl in stable to slightly interrupted conditions.

How does the double-sided chipbreaker affect tool life?
The double-sided chipbreaker on the TNMG 160408 helps control chips and distribute cutting loads, which contributes to longer edge life and more predictable wear patterns on the Tungaloy insert.

What dimensions and geometry are relevant for holder compatibility?
Compatibility depends on form, relief angle, tolerance class, fixing, size and thickness; this insert has a 16 nominal size, 4.76 mm thickness and a 60° geometry (TNMG160408) to match standard ISO turning holders.

Can the insert be used for finishing and roughing?
The 0.8 mm corner radius and CVD-coated T6215 grade suit finishing and light to moderate turning; for heavier roughing, consider a grade and geometry selected specifically for high material removal rates.

What identifiers should be used when ordering or specifying replacements?
Order using the ISO designation TNMG160408, grade T6215, manufacturer article number 6944819 or SKU 6944819-Tungaloy to ensure the correct Tungaloy insert is supplied.
