TNMG160416 T6215 Tungaloy indexable insert for Turning, 60° triangle

TNMG160416 T6215 is an ISO-standard triangular insert designed for external and internal turning, optimised for stainless steels under stable to lightly interrupted cutting conditions.

• TNMG160416 geometry for 60° triangular holders
• CVD-coated carbide grade T6215 for stainless steels
• 1.6 mm corner radius for robust profile
• Double-sided chipbreaker with cylindrical hole

Consistent wear resistance for stainless-steel turning

The insert uses a CVD-coated carbide substrate combined with the wear-resistant grade T6215, giving a balanced mix of toughness and abrasion resistance. This configuration reduces flank wear during prolonged cuts and supports reproducible machining cycles. By choosing this material specification, workshops benefit from longer tool life and fewer index changes, which reduces downtime and contributes to predictable production scheduling.

ISO conformity and precise fit for reliable clamping

Manufactured to ISO-standard geometry, the triangular form with a 60° included angle and 0° clearance makes the component compatible with a wide range of standard turning holders. The insert features a cylindrical hole and a 4.76 mm thickness, so compatibility depends on holder shape, tolerance class and clamping method. Correct pairing with a suited holder and the appropriate shim or clamp set ensures repeatable positioning and consistent cutting performance across batches.

Improved chip control and stable cutting performance

The double-sided chipbreaker is tailored for stainless-steel machining and helps produce short, controllable chips under stable to slightly interrupted conditions. Combined with the corner radius 1.6 mm, the geometry supports a stronger cutting edge that tolerates modest interruptions without rapid edge breakdown. Better chip control reduces surface damage, lowers the risk of built-up edge and simplifies chip evacuation in automated or manual turning operations.

Practical use cases and system setup guidance

Engineered for both external and internal turning, the insert integrates into a system comprising the indexable insert, a matching external holder or boring bar, plus shim/clamp sets and replacement screws. For best results, choose a holder that matches the TNMG160416 footprint, verify clamping torque and select cutting parameters aligned with the stainless-steel grade and part rigidity. This approach ensures efficient material removal and consistent surface finish while leveraging the insert’s CVD-coated benefits.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The TNMG160416 T6215 insert is specified for machining stainless steels, offering improved wear resistance and stable cutting performance under standard turning conditions.

Is the insert reversible or single-use per edge?
This triangular insert is double-sided; when one edge wears, indexing to the next edge restores cutting geometry and extends practical insert life.

Which holders are compatible with this insert?
Compatibility is determined by the insert form, thickness, hole style and tolerance class; pair the insert with a 60° triangular ISO holder that accepts a 16 mm size and a 4.76 mm thick insert.

What advantage does the T6215 grade provide?
The T6215 CVD-coated grade offers a balance of abrasion resistance and edge strength, making it suitable for continuous and lightly interrupted stainless-steel turning where predictable tool life is required.

How does the chipbreaker affect surface finish?
The double-sided chipbreaker produces short, controllable chips and helps maintain a consistent surface finish by preventing long, tangled chips and reducing built-up edge formation.
