Tungaloy TNMG160404-SM T6130 Turning Insert

Premium CVD Grade | SM Stainless Finishing Geometry | Industrial Quality from Japan

What is the best carbide grade for high-speed stainless steel turning?

The Tungaloy TNMG160404-SM T6130 is a specialized, double-sided triangular carbide insert optimized for the complex challenges of machining stainless steel (M-group). Utilizing Tungaloy’s signature T6130 CVD coating, this insert provides exceptional heat resistance and prevents built-up edge (BUE) during high-velocity operations. The -SM chipbreaker is specifically engineered for light-to-medium finishing, offering sharp shearing action and precise chip control. 100% Made in Japan, it is the professional choice for CNC shops requiring high dimensional accuracy and superior surface integrity in stainless components.

T6130 CVD Coating

Developed for stainless steel. The coating layer offers superior thermal stability and wear resistance, significantly extending tool life compared to conventional PVD grades in high-speed applications.

SM Finishing Geometry

The "Stainless Medium" geometry features a positive rake angle that lowers cutting resistance, preventing work hardening of the workpiece surface during finishing passes.

6 Cutting Edges

The TNMG triangular design is double-sided, providing 6 usable corners to maximize your investment and reduce cost-per-part in high-volume production.

"Consistent wear patterns. The 0.4mm radius combined with the SM geometry works perfectly for our finishing passes."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Top Grade" - Carlos V., Brazil
"The CVD coating really helps with heat management in stainless steel. No built-up edge issues so far."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Cost Effective" - Liam G., Australia
"6 edges per insert and original Japan quality. Best ROI for our high-volume stainless lathe work."

8. FAQ - Machine Shop Support

Q: Why use CVD T6130 instead of PVD AH725 for stainless?

A: CVD grades like T6130 have better heat resistance and can run at higher cutting speeds. Use T6130 for continuous cutting at high speeds, and AH725 for lower speeds or interrupted cuts.

Q: What is the optimal feed rate for the SM chipbreaker?

A: For finishing operations, a feed rate between 0.10 and 0.20 mm/rev is ideal to ensure proper chip breaking and surface quality.

Q: Will this fit my MTJNR tool holder?

A: Yes, any standard MTJNR 2525 M16 or equivalent 1604 series holder is compatible with this insert.

Tech Tip: Stainless Machining Mastery

The **T6130 CVD grade** is engineered to master high-heat stainless applications. To maximize tool life, ensure a rigid setup and use a consistent flow of coolant. **Tungaloy Japan** - Engineering your success in every cut.

Technical FAQ & Buying Guide

Are your carbide inserts interchangeable with major brands like Sandvik, Iscar, or Kennametal?

Absolutely. Our CNC carbide inserts (including CNMG, WNMG, DNMG, and APMT series) are manufactured strictly adhering to international ISO/ANSI specifications. A CNMG 120408 from OYYU BEYOND will flawlessly fit any standard turning tool holder or indexable tool from major global brands like Sandvik Coromant, Kennametal, Iscar, Walter, or SECO, providing a highly cost-effective premium alternative without sacrificing tolerance or tool life.

How do I choose the correct insert grade and chipbreaker for machining Stainless Steel (M) vs. Carbon Steel (P)?

We offer optimized CVD and PVD multi-layer coatings for different ISO material groups:

  • For Carbon/Alloy Steel (ISO P): Choose our thick multi-layer CVD coated grades (e.g., Al2O3 + TiN). They provide exceptional crater wear resistance and thermal barriers during high-speed dry or wet roughing.
  • For Stainless Steel (ISO M): Choose our nano-structured PVD coated grades with sharp, positive chipbreakers (like -TM or -MA). This combination prevents work hardening and effectively controls sticky chips.
What are the recommended cutting speed (Vc) and feed rate (f) parameters to maximize tool life?

The optimal cutting parameters vary depending on the workpiece hardness and operation type:

  • For General Steel Turnings: Recommended cutting speed ($V_c$) ranges from 150 to 280 m/min, with a feed rate ($f$) of 0.15 to 0.45 mm/rev.
  • For Stainless Steel Finishing: Recommended cutting speed ($V_c$) is 120 to 200 m/min, with a feed rate ($f$) of 0.10 to 0.25 mm/rev.Always adjust parameters based on early wear patterns: increase $V_c$ if built-up edge occurs, or reduce $V_c$ if severe flank wear is observed.
Do you offer bulk discounts or wholesale pricing for machine shops and distributors?

Yes, we support machine shops, distributors, and global buyers with tiered wholesale pricing and competitive volume discounts. We also provide OEM custom manufacturing solutions for tool holders and carbide inserts based on your technical drawings. Contact our team to request a quick B2B quotation.
