TNMG 160416 T6215 TNMG turning insert, Tungaloy — CVD-coated carbide for stainless-steel turning

The TNMG160416 T6215 is a triangular ISO turning insert designed for external and internal turning of stainless steels in stable to mildly interrupted cutting conditions.

• CVD-coated carbide for long life
• Designed for stainless-steel turning
• 60° triangular insert with 1.6 mm nose
• Double-sided chipbreaker, cylindrical hole

Optimised wear resistance for demanding stainless-steel applications

The combination of a CVD-coated carbide grade and a wear-orientated geometry provides extended tool life when machining stainless steel. The applied coating and substrate pairing reduce flank wear and maintain cutting-edge integrity over longer tool cycles, which translates into fewer indexings and lower tooling costs per part. For workshop planning, the T6215 grade is aimed at steady turning operations where consistent surface finish and repeatable tool life are priorities, enabling reliable production scheduling and reduced scrap rates.

Secure mounting and ISO compatibility ensure predictable results

Designed as an ISO-compliant insert, the triangular shape and dimensions follow standard form factors so that compatibility with holders is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness. The cylindrical hole facilitates a positive mechanical locate in many popular external holders and boring bars, while the specified 0° clearance angle supports neutral cutting approaches common in stainless-steel turning. Clear matching of insert and holder ensures predictable cutting forces, improved process stability and easier setup for repeat production runs.

Consistent chip control and productivity through design features

A double-sided chipbreaker combined with a 60° geometry and a 1.6 mm nose radius provides balanced chip formation and surface integrity when turning stainless steels. The insert’s 4.76 mm thickness and indexable, double-sided format allow two usable cutting edges per side, which reduces tooling change frequency and downtime. Stable chip control decreases the risk of built-up edge and thermal fluctuation in the cutting zone, supporting higher material removal rates without compromising surface finish or dimensional accuracy.

FAQ

What materials is this insert designed for?
The TNMG160416 T6215 insert by Tungaloy is engineered primarily for stainless steel machining under stable to lightly interrupted turning conditions.

How many cutting edges are available per insert?
The triangular, double-sided format gives multiple indexable edges, allowing cost-effective use of the insert before replacement.

Does the insert fit standard ISO holders?
Yes, the insert follows ISO dimensions and locates via a cylindrical hole; compatibility is determined by shape, size, thickness and clamping style of the holder.

What is the advantage of the T6215 coating?
The T6215 CVD coating enhances wear resistance and reduces flank wear during stainless-steel turning, supporting longer tool life and consistent surface quality.

Is the 1.6 mm nose suitable for finishing work?
A 1.6 mm corner radius balances strength and surface finish; it is suitable for many finishing and light roughing passes on stainless steels.
