TNMG 160412 T9215 – Turning insert by Tungaloy (60° triangle, CVD-coated carbide)

TNMG160412 T9215 is a triangular ISO turning insert designed for medium-steel machining and both external and internal turning applications; intended for use in ISO-standard holders and boring bars.

• TNMG geometry, 60° triangle
• CVD-coated carbide T9215 for medium steel
• Double-sided chipbreaker, with central hole
• 1.2 mm corner radius for versatile turning

Higher productivity for medium-steel turning

The CVD-coated T9215 grade pairs high wear resistance with excellent fracture toughness, making it a first choice for medium-steel applications where both tool life and process stability matter. The coating reduces flank wear and extends cutting-edge life under continuous to slightly interrupted cutting conditions, which translates into longer production runs and fewer tool changes. For shops focused on throughput, this means improved uptime and a clear return on tooling investment through consistent component quality and reduced machine downtime.

Accurate geometry and secure clamping for repeatable results

The triangular insert with a 60° cutting angle and a 1.2 mm corner radius offers a balance between strength and form accuracy, suitable for a range of turning operations. The insert is double-sided and features a central cylindrical hole for positive indexing and clamping in compatible holders. Compatibility is determined by the insert’s form, 0° relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; matching these parameters to the chosen external holder or boring bar ensures stable engagement, concentricity and repeatable surface finish.

System approach that reduces costs and simplifies selection

Used as part of an ISO-turning system—insert, matching external holder or boring bar, shim/clamp set and replacement screws—this insert supports a cost-effective workflow when the correct chipbreaker and grade are selected for the workpiece and cutting mode. The double-sided design delivers two usable edges per index, cutting down per-edge cost. Selecting the right chipbreaker and grade for the workpiece minimizes built-up edge and improves chip control, resulting in fewer interruptions, better surface quality and lower overall machining costs. For process optimisation and holder selection, Metav Werkzeuge can provide practical guidance and match the insert to the preferred clamping solution.
