TNMG 160404 T6215 — Turning insert, CVD‑coated carbide, ISO‑compliant (Tungaloy)

TNMG 160404 T6215 is an ISO‑standard triangular insert for precision turning of stainless steels under stable to slightly interrupted cutting conditions, designed for use with compatible external holders and boring bars.

• ISO-compliant triangular insert
• CVD-coated carbide grade T6215
• Optimised for stainless steel turning
• Double-sided chipbreaker, with hole

Consistent wear resistance for stainless steel turning

The insert combines a CVD-coated surface with a wear‑resistant carbide substrate to resist built‑up edge and abrasion when machining stainless steels. The selected grade delivers stable performance in continuous and slightly interrupted cuts, reducing the need for premature index changes. By choosing a cutting edge with a measured corner radius of 0.4 mm, operators gain a balance between edge strength and surface finish, while the robust coating helps maintain dimensional accuracy over longer runs.

Straightforward system integration and predictable fit

As an ISO insert, the geometry and fixing point are standardised to simplify matching with external holders or boring bars. Key dimensions such as the 60° insert angle, 0° clearance and a plate thickness of 4.76 mm support predictable seating and clamping. The presence of a cylindrical hole ensures secure fastening and repeatable positioning; compatibility is governed by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness to guarantee a reliable tool‑holder interface.

Fewer interruptions, higher productivity

The double‑sided design with an integrated chipbreaker effectively doubles available cutting edges before replacement, reducing downtime for index changes. The chip control geometry promotes consistent chip formation and evacuation when turning stainless steel, which translates into shorter cycle times and improved throughput. Using a grade optimised for these materials reduces the frequency of insert swaps, supporting a more efficient production flow.

Practical selection and application advice

This insert is tailored for general turning tasks on stainless workpieces where stable set‑ups or slightly interrupted conditions prevail. Select the chipbreaker variant and grade according to the workpiece alloy and machining stability: a sturdier edge and suitable feed will extend service life, while the modest corner radius supports good surface quality. When uncertainty persists about the correct holder or clamping set, refer to the ISO designation and dimensional data to confirm fitment or request technical clarification.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for stainless steel?
Yes. The TNMG160404 T6215 insert is formulated for turning stainless steel, offering wear resistance and chip control for stable to slightly interrupted cutting conditions.

How does the double‑sided design help production?
The double‑sided configuration extends usable cutting edges before replacement, improving uptime and reducing the frequency of index changes for more efficient machining cycles.

What determines whether a holder is compatible with the insert?
Compatibility is determined by insert form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The ISO designation and the insert dimensions should match the holder specification.

Can the insert cope with light interruptions in the cut?
Yes. The T6215 grade and chipbreaker geometry are specified for stable to slightly interrupted cuts, providing a balance between edge robustness and finish quality.

What does the T6215 designation indicate?
T6215 denotes a CVD‑coated carbide grade optimised for turning stainless steel, designed for reliable wear resistance and consistent cutting performance.
