TNMG160416 T6215 ISO turning indexable insert — CVD-coated carbide, 60° triangle (Tungaloy)

The TNMG160416 T6215 is an ISO-standard triangular indexable insert designed for external and internal turning, optimised for stainless-steel applications under stable to lightly interrupted conditions.

• CVD-coated carbide for wear resistance
• Triangular ISO shape, 60° included angle
• Double-sided chipbreaker, cylindrical hole
• Corner radius 1.6 mm for improved edge strength

Longer tool life through advanced CVD coating

The insert uses a CVD-coated carbide substrate that provides high wear resistance when machining stainless steel, making it suitable for continuous production runs where tool life and consistent results are crucial. The CVD coating forms a hard, wear-resistant layer that reduces flank wear and helps maintain cutting geometry over multiple indexings. This feature reduces unplanned tool changes and supports a smoother production flow with fewer interruptions.

Predictable cutting behaviour from proven geometry

The 60° triangular geometry combined with a corner radius 1.6 mm increases edge robustness and distributes cutting forces to lower the risk of chipping in stable and slightly interrupted cuts. The insert’s ISO form and 4.76 mm thickness contribute to rigidity in the cutting zone, while the cylindrical hole ensures secure clamping in compatible holders. These geometric characteristics translate into predictable performance and consistent surface quality on turned components.

Practical system integration and chip control

Designed as part of an ISO turning-plate system, the insert integrates with a matching holder, support shim and clamping set; compatibility depends on form, relief angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness. The double-sided chipbreaker provides reliable chip control for the target material family and can be selected to suit the specific cutting mode and workpiece stability. Clear system architecture enables fast replacement and simple inventory handling in workshop environments.

Recommended applications and selection notes

The grade T6215 is tailored to offer a wear-resistant option for machining stainless steels under stable to lightly interrupted conditions. The insert is suited for both external and internal turning, where consistent cutting edges and good edge stability are required. When selecting the chipbreaker and grade, consider the workpiece alloy, depth of cut and machine rigidity to ensure optimal results; the combination of CVD coating and robust geometry supports cost-effective production with reliable repeatability.
