Deskar TNMG160412-CQ LF9218 – triangular turning insert with R1.2 nose, tough LF9218 grade, AlTiN/TiAlN-type coating; ideal for steel/stainless steel turning with high wear resistance and smooth finish.
"Slash your tooling cost & double your uptime — Deskar TNMG160412-CQ LF9218 delivers superior wear resistance with every pass!"
The Deskar TNMG160412-CQ LF9218 carbide insert is engineered to bring performance and reliability to your turning operations. Combining a proven geometry with an enhanced grade, this insert helps machinists achieve better surface finishes, longer tool life, and lower cost per component.
Geometry: TNMG160412-CQ — a triangular insert (60°), with a cutting edge length approx 16 mm, nose radius R1.2 mm, thickness ~4.76 mm.
Grade / Coating: LF9218 — an upgraded version of LF9118, known for high hardness, good wear resistance, and improved toughness. Coating typically AlTiN / TiAlN -type for heat & abrasion resistance.
Applications: Designed for turning operations; suitable for steel, stainless steel, possibly cast iron. Good for medium to finishing cuts where surface finish is critical.
Reduced Downtime: With a tougher grade & quality coating, these inserts resist edge wear, chipping, and maintain sharpness longer.
Better Surface Finish: Nose radius R1.2 helps produce smoother finishes especially in finishing turning passes.
High Wear Resistance: LF9218 improves over earlier grades, giving you longer tool life even in harder or more abrasive materials.
• Reduced insert changes → fewer machine stoppages.
• Improved surface finish → reduced rework or secondary operations.
• Longer lasting edge even under elevated temperatures or moderate to high cutting speeds thanks to coating and grade improvements.
It’s approximately R1.2 mm, which helps in getting a better surface finish and allows for smoother transitions in turning cuts.
teel and stainless steel are its primary materials. With its LF9218 grade and coating, it handles abrasive and high-temperature wear well. Cast iron may be possible depending on cutting parameters.
LF9218 is an upgraded version, delivering higher hardness and improved wear resistance over LF9118, meaning more parts per edge.
Thanks to the R1.2 nose radius and quality coating, you can expect cleaner finish in turning passes, less vibration, and reduced secondary finishing. The improvement is noticeable especially in finishing or close-tolerance operations.
Because you’ll get authentic Deskar quality, verified stock, competitive pricing, and support for bulk orders. Less risk of fake or subpar inserts, better consistency in machining outcomes, and faster delivery across India.
