TNMG 160404 T6215 indexable insert for turning by Tungaloy

TNMG 160404 T6215 is an ISO‑standard triangular indexable insert designed for general turning applications, optimised for stainless steel under stable to lightly interrupted cutting conditions.

• CVD‑coated carbide for stainless steel
• ISO TNMG 160404 geometry, 60° included angle
• Double‑sided chipbreaker, reversible use
• Cylindrical hole for secure clamping

Consistent performance where material demands matter

The TNMG series geometry delivers a reliable balance between strength and accessibility: the 60° triangle and 0.4 mm nose radius provide decisive edge strength without sacrificing form for finishing passes. The CVD‑coated carbide grade T6215 is formulated to resist flank wear and abrasion when machining stainless steel, which often work‑hardens or generates sticky chips. By combining a robust substrate with a wear‑resistant coating, the insert maintains cutting stability and extends interval lengths between indexings, supporting higher uptime and predictable tool costs.

Predictable clamping and quick indexability for efficient turning

A triangular, double‑sided insert means two usable edges per side, multiplying available cutting edges and improving economy per index. The cylindrical hole and standard ISO fixing ensure compatibility with a broad range of external toolholders; the insert thickness (4.76 mm) and standard TNMG 160404 footprint match common carrier bores and clamping devices. Clear geometric specifications — 0° relief angle, 60° included angle, 16 mm inscribed circle — simplify holder selection and enable repeatable seating, which reduces set‑up time and minimises vibration for enhanced surface finish.

Effective chip control and process security in turning stainless steel

Chip management is central when machining stainless steel; the double‑sided chipbreaker profile stabilises chip formation and evacuation under typical turning feeds. This reduces the risk of built‑up edge and improves thermal stability at the cutting zone, delivering a steadier cutting resistance and more consistent part quality. For applications requiring high process security and surface integrity, the T6215 grade offers a resilient coating that supports extended tool life while preserving dimensional accuracy in serial production.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The TNMG 160404 T6215 indexable insert is specifically formulated for machining stainless steel; the CVD‑coated carbide grade T6215 enhances wear resistance and chip control when turning such materials.

How many cutting edges are available per insert?
With a triangular, double‑sided design the insert provides multiple usable cutting edges; the reversible chipbreaker doubles the available edges for economical indexing of the TNMG 160404 Tungaloy insert (SKU 6944843‑Tungaloy).

Which holder types are compatible with this geometry?
Compatibility is determined by the TNMG160404 form, thickness (4.76 mm), hole style (cylindrical) and 60° geometry; the insert fits ISO‑standard external holders designed for TNMG inserts when the clamping and tolerances match.

Can the T6215 grade be used for interrupted cutting?
The T6215 CVD grade is intended for stable to lightly interrupted conditions on stainless steel; for heavy interruptions, a tougher substrate or different chipbreaker may be preferable.
