High‑performance grade for reliable stainless turning

The insert is manufactured in a CVD‑coated carbide grade (T6215) developed for wear resistance when machining stainless steels. The coating and substrate combination reduces flank wear and enhances edge stability, which results in longer in‑service life and fewer tool changes. For production environments focused on repeatable output, this means reduced downtime and a more predictable tool budget. The material pairing also allows for stable performance under light interruptions, maintaining surface finish and dimensional integrity.

Precision geometry that stabilises cutting and chip control

With an ISO geometry of TNMG160402 and a 0.2 mm nose radius, the insert balances edge strength and fine surface finish. The double‑sided chipbreaker provides controlled chip formation for a variety of feeds and depths of cut, while the 60° cutting angle supports versatile turning operations. The 0° clearance geometry simplifies setup and helps ensure consistent contact with the workpiece, reducing vibration and improving concentricity in external and internal turning tasks.

System compatibility and straightforward integration

The insert is ISO‑standard, triangular in form and supplied with a cylindrical hole, making it compatible with a wide range of external holders and boring bars once the form, clearance, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness are matched. The system approach (insert, holder, shim/lock set and replacement screws) ensures secure clamping and repeatable seating, which is essential for accurate indexing and consistent tool life. Selection of the correct chipbreaker and grade should follow the workpiece material and machining stability.

Productivity and process benefits for workshop workflows

Using an indexable insert in this specification reduces non‑cutting time by simplifying reconditioning and indexing compared with brazed tooling. The CVD surface treatment enhances wear resistance, supporting higher cumulative material removal before replacement. For operations that prioritise throughput and surface quality on stainless alloys, this insert delivers a combination of durability and performance that supports reliable batch production and fewer interruptions for tool changes.
