TNMG 160402 T9215 – Turning insert (ISO) by Tungaloy

TNMG160402 T9215 is a triangular ISO turning insert designed for medium-steel machining and indexable turning applications

• CVD-coated carbide for high wear resistance
• Optimised for medium steel machining
• Double-sided chipbreaker for reliable chip control
• 0.2 mm corner radius and 60° geometry

Increased productivity through CVD-coated carbide

The T9215 grade combines a CVD-coated carbide substrate with a formulation tuned for medium steel applications, delivering improved wear resistance and fracture toughness. This results in longer edge life during continuous to lightly interrupted cuts and fewer index changes, which raises hourly throughput. The coating reduces flank wear and supports higher cutting parameters where machine rigidity and process stability allow, making the insert an economic choice for batch production and serial turning operations.

Consistent set-ups thanks to ISO compatibility and clear interface data

As an ISO-standard insert, compatibility with toolholders is determined by geometry, relief angle (0°), tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The insert’s 16 mm size, 4.76 mm thickness and triangular form ensure predictable mounting in appropriately specified holders; the cylindrical hole and clamping arrangement permit secure seating and quick indexing. Clear matching of holder and insert parameters reduces set-up times and downtimes, helping to maintain stable cutting conditions on the shop floor.

Better surface finish and chip behaviour for reliable turning

The double-sided chipbreaker provides controlled chip formation and stable evacuation, reducing the risk of entanglement and enabling repeatable surface quality. A 0.2 mm corner radius allows fine edge detail and can improve finish on light finishing passes, while the 60° insert geometry supports effective access to external and internal contours. Integrated into a complete system — insert, holder, shim and clamping set — the component supports predictable tool life and straightforward stocking strategies for production environments.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The TNMG160402 T9215 insert is formulated for medium steel machining, combining wear resistance and toughness for productive turning operations.

Can the insert be used for internal and external turning?
Yes, the insert’s triangular geometry and chipbreaker design make it suitable for both external and internal turning, provided the correct holder geometry is selected.

How does the 0.2 mm corner radius affect the finish?
A 0.2 mm corner radius gives finer edge detail that can improve surface finish on light finishing passes while moderating cutting forces during profile turning.

Is the insert indexable and easy to replace?
The TNMG160402 is double-sided and indexable through rotation; secure mounting via the cylindrical hole and appropriate clamping components enables quick index changes.

What does the T9215 grade signify?
T9215 is a CVD-coated carbide grade optimised for medium-steel applications, offering a balance of wear resistance and fracture toughness for consistent tool life across serial machining tasks.
