Grade H5115 cemented carbide indexable insert – applications and construction
double-sided 80° trigon with a hole and chip breaker
The WNMG 080408 turning insert is a double-sided indexable insert made of grade H5115 cemented carbide, designed for turning cast iron. The W shape, a trigon with a 80° corner angle, combines three strong corners with high cutting edge rigidity. The negative geometry with a 0° clearance angle allows both sides of the insert to be used — a total of six edges. The CVD coating carries heat away from the cutting zone and allows high speeds to be maintained when turning iron castings.
Key advantages of the H5115 cemented carbide insert
- Six cutting edges — 3 corners with an angle of 80° on each of the two sides reduce the cost per cutting edge compared with single-sided inserts.
- Grade H5115 for cast iron (ISO group K) — CVD-coated carbide for precision turning and boring of gray, ductile, and malleable iron castings.
- Corner radius rε 0.8 mm — a general-purpose compromise between surface finish and corner strength at feed rates of 0.15–0.4 mm/rev.
- The large 80° corner angle provides a rigid, strong edge that withstands loads during roughing and machining through casting skin.
- Dimensions according to ISO 1832: side length 8.7 mm, IC 12.7 mm (1/2″), thickness 4.76 mm — suitable for holders with a W08 insert pocket.
- The hole with a chip breaker on both sides (type G according to ISO 1832) secures the insert and controls the breaking of short cast iron chips.
Applications and cutting data selection for the trigon insert
The WNMG 080408 insert (also written without a space as wnmg080408) is suitable for precision external turning and boring of gray, ductile, and malleable iron castings. Calculate spindle speed using n = 1000·Vc/(π·D): for a shaft with a diameter of 80 mm at Vc = 225 m/min, the result is approximately 895 rpm. The large 80° corner angle provides a rigid edge that withstands loads during roughing of castings and interrupted cuts through casting skin.
When roughing cast iron, maintain a cutting speed of 135–210 m/min, a feed rate of up to 0.4 mm/rev, and a depth of cut of up to 4 mm, ensuring uniform loading of each corner. For finishing, reduce the feed rate to 0.15 mm/rev to achieve a smoother surface and lower edge wear with a nose radius of 0.8 mm. Tolerance class M ensures repeatable edge positioning each time the insert is indexed in the holder pocket, reducing the time needed for dimensional corrections between successive cutting edges.
Grade H5115 indexable inserts are supplied by the Korean brand Horn, known for economical tools for production turning. Before selecting a holder and shim, check the entering angle of the turning tool and the available shank cross sections to match the W08 pocket to the workpiece size. With stable clamping and continuous coolant supply, grade H5115 allows speeds reaching approximately 400 m/min in gray cast iron.
The CVD on grade H5115 is thicker and less resistant to thermal shock than PVD coatings. For heavily interrupted cutting or without a stable coolant supply, consider a grade with a thinner coating PVD, and for hard turning of hardened steels — a cubic boron nitride version (CBN).

Frequently asked questions about the WNMG 080408 insert
use, turning tool selection, and turning parameters
Six — the trigon has 3 corners of 80° on each side, and the negative geometry (0° clearance angle) allows both sides of the insert to be used. Once an edge becomes dull, simply index the insert in its pocket without changing the holder.
Holders with a W08 trigon insert pocket (IC 12.7 mm): for external turning TWLNR/L, PWLNR/L and MWLNR/L (entering angle 95°) and MWDNN (50°) with shank cross sections of 20×20–40×40 mm; for internal turning, boring bars S25S–S50V with the suffix TWLNR/L, PWLNR/L, or MWLNR/L.
Only in corner radius: 0.4 mm is used for finishing at low feed rates, 0.8 mm is the general-purpose version, and 1.2 mm is selected for roughing at higher feed rates. The remaining dimensions (IC 12.7 mm, thickness 4.76 mm) are identical.
Yes — grade H5115 covers group ISO K and is suitable for gray, ductile, and malleable cast iron. The CVD coating allows speeds of up to approximately 400 m/min; ensure rigid workpiece clamping and uniform corner loading.
