TNMG160412 T6215 turning insert — Tungaloy triangular ISO turning insert for stainless steel

TNMG160412 T6215 is an ISO-standard triangular turning insert designed for precision external and internal turning of stainless steels, offering a wear-resistant CVD-coated carbide grade for stable to lightly interrupted cuts.

• CVD-coated carbide T6215 grade
• Double-sided chipbreaker for efficient chip control
• ISO-standard triangular insert with cylindrical hole
• Corner radius 1.2 mm for reliable edge strength

Precise fit and consistent performance for ISO tool systems

The insert is designed to the ISO standard, which ensures reproducible seating and clamping when used with compatible external holders and boring bars. That predictable fit reduces setup variation and contributes to consistent part quality. The triangle form and cylindrical hole guarantee secure fixation, while the specified clearance angle of 0° and included angle of 60° support stable cutting geometries. For production environments, these characteristics translate into less rework and a smoother process flow.

Material-specific wear resistance and what CVD coating delivers

The T6215 grade is a CVD-coated carbide developed for machining stainless steel under stable or slightly interrupted conditions. The CVD layer increases surface hardness and oxidation resistance, improving flank wear behaviour during prolonged runs. For users with moderate feed rates and varying depths of cut, this coating promotes longer edge life compared with uncoated grades. Selecting the correct chipbreaker together with the grade helps to avoid built-up edge and secures surface finish, particularly important when producing components that require tight tolerances.

Operational efficiency through multi-edged design and simple handling

The double-sided chipbreaker and triangular geometry provide multiple serviceable edges, which reduces tooling cost per cutting edge and minimises downtime for insert changes. With a corner radius of 1.2 mm and a plate thickness of 4.76 mm, the insert offers a balance between edge strength and versatility for general turning operations. The cylindrical hole supports reliable clamping and rapid indexing. For workshops aiming to improve throughput, this combination offers a pragmatic route to repeatable results and lower unit tooling costs.
