TNMG 160404-HM OS8225 Carbide Turning Insert
The TNMG 160404-HM OS8225 is a negative-rake carbide turning insert designed for precision medium machining on CNC and manual lathes. With its 60° triangular geometry, it provides high edge strength and six available cutting edges, making it a cost-effective solution for production environments. The 0.4 mm corner radius enables excellent dimensional accuracy and fine surface finishes, making it ideal for applications where precision is essential.
Manufactured in OS8225 grade, the insert offers a balanced combination of wear resistance and toughness, ensuring reliable performance when machining steels. The HM chipbreaker is designed for medium machining, providing stable chip evacuation, smooth cutting action, and reduced tool wear under continuous cutting conditions.
The TNMG 160404-HM OS8225 is compatible with MTJNR and TTJNR tool holders, designed specifically for triangular inserts. This insert is widely used in the automotive, aerospace, and general engineering industries where accuracy, stability, and efficiency are required in medium machining of steels.
