TNMG 160408 T6215 – Turning indexable insert, CVD-coated carbide by Tungaloy

The TNMG160408 T6215 is an ISO-standard turning insert designed for stable to lightly interrupted turning of stainless steels, providing a balance of wear resistance and edge robustness for general workshop and production use.

• CVD-coated carbide for high wear resistance
• Optimised for turning of stainless steels
• Triangular ISO insert with 0.8 mm corner radius

Consistent tool life through CVD coating and material choice

The CVD-coated carbide grade delivers reliable wear resistance in demanding conditions, especially when machining stainless steels. A CVD coating forms a hard, adherent layer that reduces flank wear and helps maintain edge geometry over longer periods, which in turn supports steady component quality and fewer tool changes. This makes the insert suitable where repeatable surface finish and process stability are needed, reducing downtime and boosting throughput.

ISO conformity and practical holder compatibility

Supplied in the ISO TNMG form, the indexable plate adheres to standard dimensions and mounting interfaces so that holder compatibility is determined by shape, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness. The build of the system typically comprises the ISO insert, a matching external holder or boring bar, a shim/clamp set and replacement screws. Choosing the correct holder and clamp ensures secure seating and repeatable positioning of the cutting edge, which preserves dimensional accuracy in serial turning operations.

Geometry that balances strength and versatility

With a triangular shape and a 60° cutting angle, the insert offers multiple cutting edges per index while the 0.8 mm corner radius increases edge strength for interrupted cuts and tougher materials. The plate features a double-sided chipbreaker, optimised for stable to mildly interrupted cuts, providing controlled chip formation and evacuation. The zero-degree clearance angle helps when a neutral relief is required for specific holder geometries or when working close to shoulders and grooves.

Practical application notes and handling advice

Intended for turning applications, the insert performs best in setups that match its geometry and CVD coating properties. Use a suitable feed and depth of cut consistent with the workpiece material and machine rigidity; the insert excels where process stability and predictable tool life are priorities. Maintain the recommended clamp torque for the replacement screws and check seating surfaces on both holder and shim to ensure accurate repeatability when changing indexes or plates.
