TNMG160404 T6215 TNMG Turning Insert for Turning (Tungaloy)

TNMG160404 T6215 is an ISO triangular turning insert designed for controlled machining of stainless steels in stable to slightly interrupted cutting conditions

• CVD-coated cemented carbide for wear resistance
• Double-sided chipbreaker, stable chip control
• Triangular 60° geometry for versatile turning
• 0.4 mm corner radius, ISO 16, cylindrical hole

Consistent wear resistance for stainless-steel turning

The CVD-coated grade T6215 delivers an optimised balance of hardness and toughness, giving cemented carbide wear resistance under the thermal loads typical of machining stainless steels. The coating reduces flank wear and adhesion, which translates into longer tool life and fewer indexings. For processes with steady feeds and moderate depths of cut, this grade preserves edge integrity and supports reliable surface quality — a tangible production benefit that reduces interruptions and scrap.

Secure clamping and proven geometry for ISO tooling systems

Designed as an ISO-compliant triangular insert with 60° geometry, compatibility with the holder is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening and thickness. The insert's 0.4 mm corner radius provides a defined edge for finishing profiles while the hole with cylindrical bore enables positive, repeatable clamping. The double-sided layout and changeable chipbreaker make the component a cost-effective choice: two usable edges per side increase indexable life and reduce the frequency of replacements in volume production.

Practical advantages in workshop and production environments

The combination of stable chip control via the double-sided chipbreaker and the wear-resistant T6215 grade supports steady cycle times and fewer unscheduled tool changes. The insert is suited to both external and internal turning when selected with a compatible holder and the correct chipbreaker for the workpiece stability. For mixed-production shops, this versatility reduces the need for specialised inserts and simplifies tool management, improving throughput without compromising surface finish or dimensional consistency.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The TNMG160404 T6215 insert is formulated for machining stainless steels and performs best in stable to lightly interrupted turning operations.

How does the T6215 grade affect tool life?
The CVD-coated T6215 grade increases wear resistance and reduces adhesion, which extends service life and maintains surface quality in stainless-steel turning with the TNMG insert.

Can the insert be used for both external and internal turning?
Yes; when used with a compatible external holder or boring bar and the correct chipbreaker, the insert is suitable for both external and internal turning operations.

What is the benefit of the double-sided chipbreaker?
The double-sided chipbreaker offers two usable cutting edges per side, improving economy and reducing tool changes in production runs while supporting consistent chip formation.

Does the insert require a specific clamping system?
Compatibility depends on holder form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening and thickness; the cylindrical bore ensures repeatable clamping when matched to ISO holders.
