TNMG 160404 T6215 turning insert (Tungaloy)

A TNMG160404 T6215 ISO-standard indexable insert engineered for turning stainless steel under stable to lightly interrupted conditions.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T6215
• Suited for stainless steel turning
• Triangular 60° insert, corner radius 0.4 mm
• Double-sided with cylindrical hole

Consistent wear resistance for reliable stainless-steel turning

The CVD-coated carbide grade T6215 delivers a balanced combination of wear resistance and toughness that suits the demands of machining stainless steel. The chemical vapour deposition layer reduces abrasive wear and helps maintain a stable cutting edge across longer tool lives, which translates into fewer tool changes and more predictable production cycles. As an ISO-conform insert, the geometry and coating are optimised to provide consistent surface finish in external and internal turning, while the neutral 0° free angle supports controlled cutting forces in steady operations.

Seamless integration with ISO tooling systems

This triangular insert follows ISO norms, so compatibility with holders depends on form, free angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness. The insert’s triangular 60° form and the cylindrical hole allow secure clamping in a range of external holders and boring bars when the corresponding seat and clamp are matched correctly. A practical system setup typically comprises the ISO insert, a matching outer holder or boring bar, a shim or clamping set and replacement screws, enabling quick changeover and repeatable positioning. Clear specification of the insert’s ISO code and dimensions simplifies procurement and reduces setup errors on precision lathes.

Cost-effective cutting and predictable tool life

The double-sided design provides multiple cutting edges per insert, improving economy per edge and reducing disposal frequency. The corner radius 0.4 mm supports a balance between chip control and surface integrity—small enough to maintain dimensional precision yet large enough to deliver robust cutting edges for steady feeds. Paired with the T6215 coating, the insert is intended for productive turning of rostfrei materials where stable to lightly interrupted cuts are expected. Selecting the correct chipbreaker and matching the grade to the workpiece stability ensures efficient swarf control and consistent component quality without overcomplicating process parameters.

FAQ

What materials is this insert primarily intended for?
The TNMG160404 T6215 turning insert from Tungaloy is designed primarily for machining stainless steel; the CVD-coated carbide substrate provides wear resistance suited to rostfrei materials.

Which holders will accept this ISO insert?
Compatibility with a holder is determined by the insert form, free angle (0°), tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; matching a TNMG seat in the chosen holder or boring bar ensures correct clamping and performance.

How many usable edges does the insert offer and how is it indexed?
The double-sided triangular design delivers multiple usable edges for economical indexing; edges are indexed according to the holder’s clamping and the insert orientation specified by the ISO seat.

Is the grade suitable for interrupted cuts or heavy interruption?
The T6215 grade is optimised for stable to lightly interrupted cutting conditions; for heavy interruptions, a tougher grade or altered process parameters should be considered.

What components are required to build a complete tooling setup?
A typical setup includes the TNMG ISO insert, a compatible outer holder or boring bar, a shim/clamping set and replacement screws; the SKU 6944852-Tungaloy identifies the specific item for ordering.
