WNMG 080404 T6215 turning insert (ISO) by Tungaloy — CVD-coated carbide, 80° trigon

The WNMG080404-ZM T6215 is an ISO-standard triangular turning insert designed for external and internal turning, optimised for machining stainless steels under stable to lightly interrupted cutting conditions.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T6215
• Designed for stainless steel turning
• 80° trigon geometry for secure clamping
• 0.4 mm corner radius for fine surface finish

High wear resistance for reliable production

The CVD-coated carbide grade T6215 combines a hard, wear-resistant coating with a robust substrate to extend tool life during demanding stainless steel operations. A chemical vapour deposition (CVD) layer forms a dense protective film that reduces flank and crater wear; this results in longer tool life and more predictable change intervals, which supports consistent cycle times and lower tooling costs. The modest corner radius (0.4 mm) balances edge strength and surface quality, helping to achieve repeatable part geometries without compromising component finish.

Secure fit and standardised geometry reduce setup time

The 80° trigon shape is a common ISO geometry that ensures compatibility with a wide range of clamping systems and external holders. The insert’s trigon form, combined with a cylindrical centre hole for positive locating, simplifies indexing and replacement. Because compatibility depends on geometry, relief angle and tolerance, using ISO-standard inserts in standard holders reduces setup complexity and shortens downtime. The standardised design supports efficient inventory management and rapid changeovers on batch and single-part production.

Practical system setup and application guidance

As an element of a complete cutting system, the indexable plate works together with a suitable external holder, shim/locking set and replacement screws to form a robust assembly. Select the ZM chipbreaker and grade T6215 to match the workpiece material and machining stability; this pairing is tailored for stainless steel under stable or lightly interrupted conditions. For internal turning or restricted setups, the insert’s trigon footprint offers good versatility. When selecting cutting data, favour conservative feeds and monitor edge condition when switching from general steels to stainless grades to maintain process security and surface integrity.

FAQ

What clamping systems are compatible with this trigon insert?
Compatibility is determined by the holder form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; the WNMG080404-ZM T6215 fits standard ISO trigon holders with a matching 80° pocket.

Is this insert suitable for interrupted cuts in stainless steel?
The Tungaloy grade T6215 is designed for stable to lightly interrupted conditions; heavier interruptions may require alternative grades or increased stability in the tool setup.

Which chipbreaker should be selected for finishing stainless steel components?
For the WNMG080404-ZM the ZM chipbreaker provides controlled chip formation and is appropriate when processing stainless steel with the T6215 grade for balanced surface quality and productivity.

Can the same insert be used for internal and external turning?
Yes; the insert’s trigon geometry and centre hole enable use in suitable internal or external holders, making the indexable plate versatile across different turning operations.
