TNMG 160404 T9215 Turning Insert (ISO) — Tungaloy, CVD-coated carbide, 60°

The TNMG160404 T9215 is an ISO-standard triangular indexable insert for external and internal turning, engineered for medium steel machining with a double-sided chipbreaker.

• CVD-coated carbide for wear resistance
• Designed for medium steel machining
• Double-sided chipbreaker, triangular 60°
• 0.4 mm corner radius for precision turning

Durable grade for continuous productivity

The T9215 grade combines a CVD-coated carbide structure with a formulation optimised for medium steel, delivering a balance between wear resistance and fracture toughness. This results in prolonged tool life under continuous to light interrupted cutting conditions, reducing changeover frequency and improving process stability. For production runs where consistent dimensions and predictable tool life matter, the material properties translate into fewer unscheduled stops and lower overall tooling costs while maintaining throughput.

Geometry and chip control for precise surfaces

The triangular 60° geometry and 0.4 mm corner radius ensure a compact, versatile cutting edge that excels in general turning tasks. The double-sided chipbreaker provides reliable chip formation and evacuation, which supports a stable cutting process and more consistent surface finish. The insert’s cylindrical hole and standard form enable secure clamping and repeatable positioning in compatible holders, contributing to dimensional accuracy and reduced setup variance across batches.

Simple integration into ISO tool systems

As an ISO-standard insert, this component integrates into existing tooling systems when the holder matches in form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening and thickness. Compatibility is therefore a matter of matching mechanical and geometric parameters rather than brand, which simplifies inventory management and replacement strategies. The indexable nature of the insert offers two usable cutting edges per side, enabling economical usage and straightforward indexing during scheduled maintenance.

Practical application guidance and selection tips

For turning operations in medium steel, select the T9215 grade with the chipbreaker that best suits the workpiece stability and cut type; lighter, stable set-ups benefit most from the specified chip control, while more interrupted cuts may require adjustments in feed or a different breaker geometry. Consider coarse feeds for heavy stock removal and finer feeds for finish passes to exploit the 0.4 mm radius for dimensional control. When in doubt about holder compatibility or optimal cutting parameters, consult technical data sheets or contact a tooling specialist for tailored recommendations.

FAQ

Is this insert compatible with my current ISO holders?
Compatibility depends on matching the holder’s form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; the TNMG160404 T9215 fits holders designed for 160404 ISO inserts when those parameters match.

Which materials is the T9215 grade intended for?
The T9215 grade is optimised for medium steel machining and performs best in continuous to light interrupted cuts typical of general turning operations.

Can this insert be used for both external and internal turning?
Yes, the TNMG160404 T9215 is suitable for external and internal turning when mounted in an appropriate ISO-compatible holder.

Is the insert indexable and double-sided?
The triangular TNMG insert is double-sided with a chipbreaker on each active face, allowing indexing to a fresh edge when required.

What are the key dimensions to check before ordering?
Check the corner radius (0.4 mm), insert thickness (4.76 mm), insert size (16), geometry angle (60°) and the ISO code (160404) to ensure compatibility with the toolholder and application.
