WNMG 080408 T6215 – ISO turning insert by Tungaloy, CVD-coated carbide, trigon form

The WNMG 080408 T6215 is an ISO-standard turning insert designed for stable to lightly interrupted stainless steel turning, combining a CVD-coated carbide grade with a DM chipbreaker in a trigon form for controlled chip formation and extended tool life.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T6215
• Optimised for stainless steel turning
• Trigon WNMG geometry, 0.8 mm corner radius

Increase throughput with robust coating and stable edge control

The combination of a CVD coating and a wear-resistant carbide substrate in grade T6215 delivers improved abrasive resistance and a stable cutting edge under continuous and slightly interrupted turning. This reduces the frequency of insert changes and supports a higher component throughput. The DM chipbreaker promotes consistent chip control, lowering the risk of chip accumulation and improving process reliability on bar feeds and turret lathes.

Compatibility and mounting designed for ISO systems

Built to ISO plate dimensions and tolerance classes, the insert features a trigon plate form with a cylindrical hole and standard attachment geometry, ensuring compatibility with many external holders and boring bars. Compatibility depends on the holder’s form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; this standardisation enables quick replacement and straightforward inventory management for production environments.

Optimised geometry for stainless steel machining

The 0.8 mm corner radius and trigon profile balance strength and accessibility, offering a robust cutting edge for roughing and a controllable edge for finishing passes. For machining stainless steel, the T6215 grade provides good wear resistance and stable chip formation under typical turning conditions, reducing built-up edge and helping to maintain surface quality across serial production.

Practical benefits for workshop efficiency

Choosing a grade and chipbreaker that match the workpiece material and machining stability simplifies setup and shortens ramp-up time. The ISO plate format and predictable performance of this grade support reproducible results, easier tooling selection and reduced downtime. Spare screws and mounting sets conforming to ISO specifications ensure fast changeovers and minimal interruption to the machining cycle.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The Tungaloy WNMG 080408 T6215 insert is specified for machining stainless steel under stable to lightly interrupted turning conditions, with the CVD-coated carbide grade optimised for wear resistance and chip control.

How is compatibility with a holder determined?
Compatibility requires matching the holder to the insert’s form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; the ISO-standard WNMG form simplifies selection for compatible external holders and boring bars.

What is the advantage of the DM chipbreaker?
The DM chipbreaker on this trigon insert promotes controlled chip formation, improving evacuation and reducing the chance of chip-related interruptions during continuous turning operations.

Can this insert be used for internal turning or only external turning?
The ISO-format trigon insert is suitable for both external and internal turning applications provided a compatible holder or boring bar is used that accommodates the WNMG shape and mounting requirements.

Which feature most affects edge life in stainless steel work?
Edge life is primarily influenced by the CVD coating and the substrate grade T6215, which together enhance wear resistance and stability when turning stainless steels under appropriate cutting conditions.
