TNMG160408 T6215 triangular ISO turning insert by Tungaloy — CVD-coated carbide, 60° cutting angle
The TNMG160408 T6215 is an ISO-format triangular turning insert designed for external and internal turning, optimised for stainless steels under stable to mildly interrupted cutting conditions.
- CVD-coated carbide grade T6215
- Triangular ISO plate, 60° cutting angle
- 0.8 mm corner radius for sturdy edges
- Double-sided chipbreaker with cylindrical hole
Durable wear resistance for reliable cycle times
The CVD-coated carbide grade T6215 combines a hard coating with a tough substrate to deliver sustained wear resistance on stainless steels. This composition reduces flank and crater wear, extending effective tool life and supporting steady production runs. The 0.8 mm corner radius promotes edge strength, making the insert less prone to chipping during moderate interruptions, while the 60° geometry offers a balance between clearance and cutting width. These factors translate into fewer tool changes and improved machine uptime.
Easy integration into ISO turning systems
As an ISO-standard insert, compatibility is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; the TNMG160408 fits standard triangular pockets and is retained via its cylindrical centre hole. The insert's 4.76 mm thickness and 16 mm inscribed circle are matched to common holders and boring bars, and the double-sided chipbreaker design allows indexed use of both cutting edges. For practical assembly, the system typically comprises the insert, a suitable external holder or boring bar, a shim/clamping set and replacement screws — ensuring predictable clamping stability and repeatable positioning.
Practical advantages for shop-floor productivity
Used for both external and internal turning, the insert supports a range of stainless-steel machining tasks where surface finish and process security matter. Selecting the appropriate chipbreaker and the T6215 grade helps control built-up edge formation and chip flow, improving surface quality and reducing rework. The insert's balanced geometry provides reliable cutting performance across conventional and CNC lathes, contributing to consistent part tolerances and lower per-part tooling cost in volume production.

FAQ
What materials is this insert best suited for?
The TNMG160408 T6215 insert is formulated for stainless steels, offering improved wear resistance and chip control when machining such materials.
Can the insert be used on both external and internal turning operations?
Yes. The triangular geometry and cylindrical hole allow use in both external holders and appropriate boring bars for internal turning with the TNMG160408 Tungaloy insert.
How does the T6215 grade affect tool life?
The T6215 CVD coating increases abrasion resistance and reduces flank wear, which typically leads to longer tool life compared with uncoated grades in comparable stainless-steel applications.
Is the insert indexable and double-sided?
Yes. The insert is double-sided with a chipbreaker on each usable edge, enabling indexable use and efficient edge changes to maximise productivity.
