MTJNR 20X20-16 turning tool – for longitudinal turning with light facing
20×20 mm indexable turning tool for a TNMG insert
Turning tool MTJNR 20X20-16 is an indexable turning tool designed for external turning on conventional and CNC lathes. The shank, with a cross section of 20×20 mm and a length of 125 mm, provides the rigidity required for industrial machining. The geometry with an entering angle of 93° allows turning along the wall with simultaneous light facing.
In the combination clamping system (M), the TNMG 1604rr insert is held simultaneously by a top clamp and a pin in its hole. The negative geometry of the 60° triangular insert with 6 cutting edges is suitable for roughing and medium machining, providing high cutting edge strength and cost efficiency thanks to its double-sided design. The tool is compatible with TNMG 16 inserts in various carbide grades — select the grade to match the workpiece material.

What the individual letters in the ISO designation mean





Typical applications of the MTJNR 20X20-16 turning tool
Cutting operations:
| ▸ | Longitudinal turning — the 93° angle provides stable cutting along the workpiece axis with light facing |
| ▸ | Roughing and medium machining of steel and cast iron — negative TNMG geometry provides a stronger cutting edge and 2× as many edges |
| ▸ | Machining shafts and bushings — a general-purpose tool for external turning of rotational parts |
| ▸ | Taper turning — machining tapered surfaces on CNC and conventional lathes |
| ▸ | CNC production runs — quick insert replacement and repeatable positioning |

Compatible TNMG 1604rr insert
TNMG 1604rr
The cutting insert is not included in the set — must be purchased separately. TNMG insert. Negative geometry means that the insert is double-sided and has 6 cutting edges, providing a stronger cutting edge and twice as many edges as a single-sided insert.
Select the insert grade to match the workpiece material: P (structural steels), M (stainless steel), K (cast iron), N (aluminum). You can find compatible inserts in the section "Related products" below.
Insert installation and replacement for the MTJNR 20X20-16 turning tool
Instructions for combination clamping (M)
Insert replacement procedure step by step
Loosen the clamping screw 2-3 turns
Remove chips and debris
Fit onto the pin and press down
Torque 2.0–3.5 Nm
Important: Do not exceed the recommended tightening torque — this may damage the thread in the seat or crack the insert.
Checks before starting work:
| ▸ | Tool overhang — do not exceed 1.5× the shank height without support |
| ▸ | Cutting edge height — set the cutting edge at spindle centerline height |
| ▸ | Insert seat condition — check that the contact surface is not damaged or worn |
| ▸ | Secure clamping — the insert must have no play in the seat |
| ▸ | Indexing — when an edge wears out, rotate the insert to a fresh edge (6 edges in total) |
Note: Use coolant during machining — it extends insert life and improves surface finish. When machining without coolant, reduce the cutting parameters by 20–30%.
Frequently asked questions — MTJNR 20X20-16
This tool accepts inserts TNMG 1604rr in any carbide grade. Select the grade to match the workpiece material: P (steels), M (stainless steel), K (cast iron), N (aluminum). You can find compatible inserts in the "Related products" section below.
The entering angle of 93° provides stable longitudinal turning with light facing.
The TNMG insert has negative geometry (clearance angle 0°), which means it is double-sided with 6 cutting edges. When one edge wears out, rotate or flip the insert to use the next edge — this significantly reduces tooling cost per part.
