TNMG 160402 T9215 Turning Insert (TNMG160402) by Tungaloy — CVD-coated carbide, 60°

The TNMG160402 T9215 is an ISO-standard triangular indexable insert designed for external and internal turning, optimised for productive machining of medium-strength steels.

• CVD-coated carbide T9215 for durability
• Triangular insert with 60° geometry
• Double-sided chipbreaker for controlled chips
• Cylindrical-hole mounting for secure seating

Consistent productivity through CVD-coated carbide

The CVD-coated carbide grade T9215 is formulated to balance wear resistance with fracture resistance, making it a reliable choice for sustained production runs. This cutting grade supports higher cutting speeds and longer tool life in continuous to slightly interrupted cuts, which reduces unplanned stops and improves overall throughput. As a result, process stability and component repeatability are enhanced, providing measurable improvements in machining efficiency.

Secure seating and ISO-based compatibility

Built to an ISO geometry, the insert’s triangular form and cylindrical hole ensure precise alignment and repeatable clamping with compatible turn holders. The defined 60° included angle and a 0° relief angle are critical for predictable tool engagement and contact forces; matching the holder by form, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness avoids misfit and vibration. Clear compatibility reduces setup time and keeps the tool changeover consistent across batches.

Improved chip control for surface quality and safety

The double-sided chipbreaker design manages chip formation so that swarf is broken and evacuated reliably, improving surface finish and reducing the risk of entanglement. Controlled chips lower the chance of secondary damage to the workpiece and tooling, and support safer, cleaner shop-floor conditions. This insert’s geometry contributes directly to consistent part quality and reduced rework, particularly in routine turning applications.

Application guidance for predictable results

Select the chipbreaker style and the T9215 grade when machining medium steels to achieve a good balance of tool life and cutting performance. The insert suits both external and internal turning operations and is best used where cuts are continuous or only slightly interrupted. For heavier interruptions or different materials, choose an alternative chipbreaker or grade matched to the workpiece. With correct selection and setup, the insert helps to lower production costs by extending tool life and maintaining surface consistency.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert best suited for?
The TNMG160402 T9215 insert is optimised for medium-strength steel machining; the CVD-coated carbide T9215 grade is engineered for wear resistance and fracture safety in these materials.

Can the insert be used for both external and internal turning?
Yes, the triangular design and ISO geometry make this indexable insert suitable for both external and internal turning operations when paired with the correct holder.

What does the 0.2 mm corner radius affect in machining?
A 0.2 mm radius balances edge strength and surface finish: it reduces chipping risk on interrupted cuts while still providing a fine surface when cutting continuous passes.

Is the insert reversible or single-use per edge?
This insert is double-sided, providing multiple usable cutting edges; reversing the insert is possible according to the indexed design.

How does the cylindrical hole influence clamping?
The cylindrical hole enables secure, repeatable seating in compatible holders, improving positional accuracy and minimising movement under cutting forces.
