SNMG 120402 T9215 – Turning indexable insert (Tungaloy)

The SNMG120402 T9215 is a 90° ISO square indexable turning insert designed for medium-steel applications, combining CVD-coated carbide performance with a double-sided, hole-mounted format.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9215
• ISO SNMG120402 form, 90° square
• Double-sided with cylindrical hole
• 0.2 mm corner radius, 4.76 mm thickness

Consistent wear resistance for productive medium-steel turning

The combination of a CVD-coated surface and cemented carbide substrate delivers a reliable balance between wear resistance and fracture toughness. Grade T9215 is formulated for the middle range of steel machining, enabling high material removal rates in continuous to slightly interrupted cuts. The result is fewer tool changes, steadier dimensional results and predictable insert life, which supports lean production planning and reduces unplanned downtime.

Secure seating and standardised compatibility reduce setup risk

The insert conforms to the ISO SNMG120402 geometry, so compatibility with holders depends on matching the insert form, relief angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness. The square, 90° shape with a cylindrical hole ensures positive location and repeatable clamping when used with a suitable external holder, shim and fastening screws. The standardised interface simplifies tool inventory and makes toolholder selection straightforward for workshop engineers.

Double-sided design and small corner radius for efficient machining

A double-sided insert halves index change frequency compared with single-sided equivalents, improving cost per index. The 0.2 mm corner radius supports fine turning and finish passes where edge strength and surface integrity are required. Pairing the correct chipbreaker with T9215 extends the operating window: select the breaker and cutting parameters suited to stability and feed to balance surface finish and productivity.

System-level recommendations for reliable results

Insert performance depends on the whole cutting system: ISO insert, matching external holder, shim/clamp and replacement screws. For medium steels, choose stable clamping and minimise overhang to reduce vibration. Where interrupted cuts are anticipated, ensure sufficient edge toughness by adhering to recommended feeds and depths; the grade is engineered to tolerate light interruptions while maintaining stable chip formation. For application-specific advice or further technical data, straightforward consultation with our team will help configure the optimal assembly.
