VNMG 120408 T9215 — Turning insert VNMG120408E-TSF, 0.8 mm radius, Tungaloy

The VNMG120408E-TSF T9215 is an ISO-standard rhombic turning insert designed for external and internal turning, providing a balance of wear resistance and fracture toughness for medium steel machining.

• CVD-coated T9215 for extended tool life
• TSF chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• 0.8 mm nose radius for stable finishing
• ISO rhombic insert with cylindrical hole

Higher throughput through proven coating and grade

With a CVD-coated finish and the T9215 carbide grade, this insert offers a dependable combination of wear resistance and fracture toughness suited to continuous and lightly interrupted cuts. The metallurgical design reduces flank and crater wear, enabling longer cutting intervals and fewer index changes. The result is measurable improvement in cycle times and overall productivity, especially in medium steel applications where consistent removal rates and repeatable part quality are priorities.

Secure seating and consistent geometry for reliable results

The rhombic ISO geometry paired with a cylindrical hole and a plate thickness of 4.76 mm ensures repeatable seating in compatible holders; compatibility is governed by insert form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The 0.8 mm radius gives a compromise between edge strength and surface finish, while the insert’s 35° angle supports versatile turning strategies. These dimensional features help maintain process stability and reduce vibration-induced variability on the workpiece.

Controlled chip flow and surface integrity in turning operations

The TSF chipbreaker is engineered for effective chip control during external and internal turning, promoting safe evacuation and improved surface condition on the finished part. For semi-finishing and finishing passes the combined chip control and edge robustness help achieve consistent surface roughness and repeatable tolerances. If uncertainty exists about holder selection or cutting data, the technical advisers at Metav Werkzeuge can provide guidance on matching insert, holder and cutting parameters for the intended operation.

Practical selection and application guidance

This insert is optimised for medium steel machining where a balance of tool life and breakage resistance is required. Selection of the TSF chipbreaker and the T9215 grade suits many production contexts with continuous or slightly interrupted cuts; for heavier interruptions or different materials, a different chipbreaker or grade is recommended. The insert’s ISO conformity and standard locating features make it straightforward to integrate into established tool systems while preserving process reliability and repeatable quality.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert best suited for? The VNMG120408E-TSF T9215 is primarily intended for medium steel machining; the T9215 grade combines wear resistance and toughness for continuous to slightly interrupted cuts.

What does the TSF chipbreaker achieve in practice? The TSF chipbreaker on the VNMG120408E-TSF insert provides controlled chip formation and evacuation, supporting improved surface integrity and safer chip handling during turning.

How does the 0.8 mm radius affect part finish and tool life? A 0.8 mm nose radius offers a compromise between a strong cutting edge and good surface finish; the VNMG120408E-TSF T9215 maintains edge strength while enabling fine finishing passes.

How to confirm holder compatibility for this ISO insert? Check the holder specifications against the insert form, relief angle (0°), tolerance class, fastening type, size (12) and thickness (4.76 mm); the VNMG120408E-TSF is ISO-standard and fits holders designed for that geometry.
