TNMG160408 T6215 indexable insert for turning — CVD-coated carbide, 60° geometry — Tungaloy

The TNMG160408 T6215 is an ISO-standard triangular indexable insert engineered for external and internal turning; it combines a robust CVD-coated carbide grade with a double-sided chipbreaker to suit stable to lightly interrupted cutting conditions.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T6215
• ISO triangular insert, 60° geometry
• 0.8 mm corner radius for fine finishing
• Double-sided chipbreaker, cylindrical hole

High-performance grade for stainless steel with controlled wear

The combination of a CVD-coated carbide substrate and the T6215 wear grade provides a balance between toughness and abrasion resistance that is particularly beneficial when machining stainless steel. The coating promotes stable edge life and predictable flank wear, which reduces the frequency of insert changes and helps maintain batch-to-batch consistency. For production environments where downtime affects throughput, this insert supports sustained cutting regimes and contributes to lower overall machining costs through longer intervals between regrinds or replacements.

Geometry and edge form that favour reproducible surface quality

The 60° triangular shape with a 0.8 mm corner radius and 0° relief angle delivers a versatile cutting geometry for both roughing and finishing passes. The double-sided chipbreaker ensures effective chip control while the cylindrical hole provides secure clamping in compatible holders. Conformance to ISO standards eases holder selection and interchangeability: compatibility is determined by form, relief angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness, enabling straightforward integration into existing tool systems and predictable process set-up.

Process reliability, efficiency and application scope

Designed for external and internal turning, the insert performs reliably under stable to lightly interrupted conditions and is intended to deliver consistent dimensional accuracy and improved surface integrity. The insert’s design minimises vibration at the cutting edge, helping to achieve tighter tolerances with fewer scrap parts. For production-oriented workshops and subcontractors, the focus on process reliability and economical tool life supports predictable machining costs and higher machine utilisation. Technical parameters and compatibility checks are available from Metav Werkzeuge to assist in selecting the correct holder and cutting data for specific workpiece alloys.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert suitable for?
The TNMG160408 T6215 insert is recommended primarily for stainless steel and similar alloys; its CVD-coated carbide composition is chosen to balance abrasion resistance and toughness for those materials.

How does the T6215 grade affect tool life and finish?
Tungaloy’s T6215 grade improves wear resistance and edge stability, which extends tool life and supports consistent surface finish during extended production runs.

What holders are compatible with this insert?
Compatibility depends on holder geometry and clamping style; the insert’s ISO designation, 16 mm size, cylindrical hole and thickness match standard ISO triangular turning holders when matched by form, relief angle and tolerance class.

Is the insert reversible or single-use?
The insert is double-sided with a chipbreaker on both sides, allowing rotation to a fresh cutting edge when the first edge reaches its wear limit, effectively doubling the number of usable edges per insert.

What effect does the 0.8 mm corner radius have on machining?
A 0.8 mm corner radius enhances edge strength for improved tool life while still permitting fine surface finishes; it is suitable for light finishing passes as well as stable roughing operations.
