TNMG CNC Lathes Turning Tools

TNMG inserts are a popular choice for machining stainless steel because they offer several benefits:


Versatility: TNMG inserts are designed to handle a wide range of materials, including stainless steels, which are 

known for their toughness and corrosion resistance.

Efficiency: These indexable inserts are designed for high metal removal rates, which significantly improves productivity 

in turning applications.

Long tool life: TNMG inserts are made of carbide, which is known for its hardness and wear resistance, compared to 

tools made of other materials

Consistent surface finish: The precise geometry of TNMG inserts helps achieve a high-quality surface finish on 

machined components

Cost-effectiveness: Extended tool life and reduced maintenance costs make TNMG inserts a cost-effective choice.


Product Details

About the product


TNMG carbide inserts are triangular-shaped with a negative rake angle, suitable for a wide range of materials including stainless steel and cast iron. The TNMG 331 insert has an inscribed circle diameter (IC) of 3/8", a thickness (S) of 3/16", and a corner radius (r) of 1/64". These inserts offer up to six cutting edges and are secured via a cylindrical fixing hole, making them versatile for various turning operations. The TNMG 331-PM T9215 grade, for instance, features a negative relief angle and M class, designed for medium cutting with materials such as steel and stainless steel

Advanced coatings like TiCN+Al2O3+TiN enhance wear resistance and extend tool life, providing reliable performance in high-speed machining


Core Components: TNMG Inserts & Toolholders

  • TNMG Insert Material:

    • TiAlN: Enhances wear resistance for steel; extends edge life by 40% vs. uncoated.

    • AlCrN: Resists chemical reactions with stainless steel; prevents BUE.

    • Uncoated: For soft non-ferrous metals (aluminum 6061) to ensure smooth finishes.

    • General-Purpose (e.g., K10, P20): Balanced hardness (90–92 HRA) and toughness for carbon steel, alloy steel, and cast iron—ideal for mixed-production shops.

    • High-Temperature Resistant (e.g., S30, H13): Infused with TiCN/Al₂O₃ for machining stainless steel (304/316) and high-alloy metals, withstanding 1,000°C+ cutting heat.

    • Non-Ferrous Optimized (e.g., K05): Ultra-fine grains (0.6–0.8μm) for aluminum/copper, minimizing built-up edge (BUE).

    • Carbide Grades: Available in multiple substrates to match materials:


  • Toolholder Construction:

    • Body: Forged 42CrMo alloy steel (HRC38–42) for rigidity; resists deflection under heavy cutting forces (up to 6,000 N).

    • Clamping: Wedge-lock or screw-on systems for secure insert retention; ensures ±0.002mm repeatability during insert changes.

Key Features of TNMG Turning Tools

  1. Triangular Geometry for Multi-Edge Efficiency
    TNMG inserts feature an 80° triangular design with 3 usable cutting edges, maximizing cost-effectiveness (each edge delivers consistent performance before replacement). Standard sizes range from TNMG 160404 (16mm IC, 4mm thickness, 0.4mm nose radius) to TNMG 220412—suited for everything from small-diameter shafts to large industrial rollers.
  2. Dual-Purpose Roughing/Finishing Capability
  • Roughing: Deep chipbreaker grooves (e.g., "M" or "N" type) handle high feed rates (0.2–0.5 mm/rev) to remove material quickly; ideal for forged/cast parts.

  • Finishing: Small nose radii (0.2–0.8mm) and polished edges deliver surface finishes as fine as Ra 0.8μm; perfect for automotive components (e.g., crankshafts) or precision fasteners.

  • Low Cutting Force & Vibration Resistance
    Most TNMG tools use a negative rake angle (-5° to -7°) to strengthen the cutting edge, while optimized chip flow paths reduce friction. This lowers spindle load by 15–20%, protecting CNC lathe components and ensuring stable cuts—even during interrupted machining (e.g., parts with keyways or slots).
  • Broad Material Compatibility
    Engineered to machine:
    • Ferrous metals: Carbon steel (45#), alloy steel (40Cr), cast iron (HT200), stainless steel (304).

    • Non-ferrous metals: Aluminum (6061/7075), copper, brass.

    • High-temperature alloys: Inconel (for aerospace parts, with specialized H-grade inserts).

    Applications

    • Target Operations:

      • External Turning (OD): Machining cylindrical surfaces (e.g., shafts, bolts, hydraulic cylinders).

      • Facing: Creating flat end surfaces on workpieces (e.g., engine block faces).

      • Shoulder Turning: Cutting stepped surfaces (e.g., gear blanks, flange mounts) with tight tolerance (±0.005mm).

    • Key Industries:

      • Automotive: Machining transmission shafts, wheel hubs, and engine components.

      • Aerospace: Precision turning of aluminum alloy brackets or stainless steel fasteners.

      • Heavy Machinery: Roughing large cast iron parts (e.g., pump housings) and finishing bearing seats.

      • General Manufacturing: Custom turning of metal parts for industrial equipment or consumer goods.

    Performance & Lifespan

    • Recommended Cutting Parameters:

      • Steel (45#): 150–250 m/min cutting speed; 0.2–0.4 mm/rev feed.

      • Stainless Steel (304): 80–150 m/min; 0.15–0.3 mm/rev (slower to avoid work hardening).

      • Aluminum (6061): 800–1,200 m/min; 0.3–0.6 mm/rev.


    • Service Life:

      • Coated inserts: 150–300 minutes per edge (steel machining); 250–400 minutes (aluminum).

      • Toolholders: 7–10 years of daily use (8–12 hours/day) with proper maintenance (cleaning, lubricating clamping screws).

    User Testimonial

    Marcus Lee, production manager at Precision Turning Co., says: “TNMG tools are our shop’s workhorses. We use them for everything from roughing 4140 steel shafts to finishing aluminum automotive parts—one insert type handles 80% of our jobs, simplifying inventory. The 3-edge design cuts tool costs, and the low vibration means we hit tolerance on every part. Even with daily use, the toolholders last years—they’re a reliable investment.”

    Summary


    TNMG CNC lathe turning tools combine versatile triangular inserts, durable toolholders, and broad material compatibility to excel in both roughing and finishing tasks. Their efficiency, precision, and cost-effectiveness make them a staple in modern machining shops—whether for high-volume automotive production or custom aerospace components.
