DCMT070204 T6215 turning insert – Tungaloy ISO rhombic insert for turning

The DCMT070204 T6215 is an ISO rhombic turning insert designed for stable to lightly interrupted machining of stainless steels, offering a CVD-coated carbide grade tuned for wear resistance.

• CVD-coated carbide for stainless steel
• 0.4 mm corner radius for fine profiling
• 7° clearance angle with 55° rhombic form
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

Proven cutting performance for stainless-steel turning

The CVD-coated T6215 grade delivers high wear resistance during continuous and lightly interrupted cuts, helping to extend tool life in production turning. The carbide substrate combined with the coating stabilises the cutting edge and reduces flank wear, which in turn supports consistent cycle times and fewer insert changes. For shops seeking predictable output, this cutting grade is suitable where stable clamping and controlled feeds are possible, improving overall process economy and reducing downtime.

Precise fit and stable clamping for repeatable results

As an ISO-standardised rhombic insert, compatibility with holders depends on form, clearance, tolerance class, attachment and thickness; the ISO designation simplifies selection for common external holders and boring bars. The insert features a cylindrical hole with a single-side countersink (40°–60°), and a plate thickness of 2.38 mm, which contribute to secure seating and rigidity. Correct combination with the appropriate clamping kit and replacement screws ensures repeatable reference points and stable cutting conditions, supporting dimensional accuracy across batches.

Better surface finish and controlled chip formation

The 0.4 mm corner radius is engineered to balance edge strength with the ability to produce fine profiles and improved surface quality on stainless steels. The single-sided chipbreaker supports reliable chip control when the cutting parameters and feed are matched to material and stability. The 55° rhombic geometry provides an approach angle that reduces cutting forces in many turning tasks, helping to maintain a stable cutting edge and consistent surface roughness when paired with the T6215 grade.

Easy integration into existing tooling systems

The insert forms part of a system comprising the ISO plate, a compatible external holder or boring bar, a locating shim or clamping set, and spare screws. Stock reference information—SKU 6945241-Tungaloy and manufacturer article number 6945241—simplifies reorders and inventory tracking. Selection of the correct chipbreaker style and suitable feed/speed combination is recommended to match the stability of the setup; for interruptions or poor rigidity, a more robust mounting or a different chip control geometry should be considered to maintain performance.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The DCMT070204 T6215 insert is formulated for machining stainless steels under stable to slightly interrupted conditions and provides wear resistance through its CVD-coated carbide grade.

Which holder features are required for correct mounting?
Correct mounting requires a holder compatible with a 55° rhombic ISO insert, matching the form, clearance, thickness (2.38 mm) and the cylindrical hole with countersink as specified for this insert.

How does the 0.4 mm corner radius affect surface finish?
A 0.4 mm corner radius provides a balance between edge strength and surface quality, enabling finer finishes on stainless-steel components while preserving edge life under appropriate cutting parameters.

Is this insert suitable for interrupted cuts?
The T6215 grade performs well in stable to lightly interrupted cuts; for heavier interruptions, evaluate clamping rigidity or consider a more robust geometry or mounting solution.

What information helps to reorder the same insert?
Use the manufacturer article number 6945241 or the SKU 6945241-Tungaloy when reordering to ensure the correct DCMT070204 T6215 Tungaloy turning insert is supplied.
