VNMG 160412 T9215 – Turning indexable insert (ISO) by Tungaloy

The VNMG160412 T9215 is an ISO-standard indexable insert for external and internal turning, optimised for medium-steel machining and continuous to slightly interrupted cuts.

• CVD-coated carbide T9215
• Optimised for medium steel
• Rhombic 35° geometry
• Double-sided chipbreaker, with hole

Consistent productivity from the CVD-coated grade

The T9215 grade combines a CVD-coated carbide substrate with a formulation tuned for medium-steel applications, delivering high wear resistance and good fracture toughness. This composition supports longer tool life in continuous and lightly interrupted cuts, which in turn increases throughput and reduces tool-change frequency. The coating improves thermal stability and helps maintain a sharp cutting edge under sustained cutting conditions, making the insert a reliable choice when consistent component quality and uptime are priorities.

Easy fitting and predictable process behaviour

The rhombic VNMG geometry with a 35° approach angle and 0° relief allows stable engagements and predictable chip flow, while the 1.2 mm nose radius strikes a balance between edge strength and surface finish. Compatibility with ISO holders is determined by form, relief angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness, so the insert integrates cleanly into standard turning systems. Clear nominal dimensions and standardised mounting reduce set-up time and simplify tool inventory planning, improving overall process control.

Practical selection guidance for workshop use

For external and internal turning select the insert version and chipbreaker according to workpiece material, machining stability and the desired surface result; the double-sided chipbreaker reduces inventory while maintaining reliable chip control. The cylindrical hole ensures secure clamping in common ISO-style clamping systems. When machining medium steel, the CVD-coated grade is the primary recommendation for productivity and repeatability; for heavily interrupted cuts or exotic alloys, consider alternative grades or geometries tailored to those demands.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert optimised for?
The VNMG160412 T9215 insert from Tungaloy is optimised for medium-steel machining, combining CVD-coated carbide and a chipbreaker that supports continuous to slightly interrupted cuts.

How does the 1.2 mm nose radius affect results?
A 1.2 mm nose radius on the VNMG160412 improves edge strength for stable turning while still allowing a good surface finish when machining medium steel with appropriate feeds.

Is this insert compatible with standard ISO holders?
Yes, the insert follows ISO dimensions (160412) and is compatible with ISO turning holders; compatibility depends on form, relief angle, tolerance class, clamping and size.

What does the double-sided chipbreaker mean for inventory?
The double-sided chipbreaker on the VNMG160412 T9215 permits indexing of both edges, reducing the number of inserts required and lowering tooling inventory costs.

Does the insert include a hole and what is its purpose?
The VNMG160412 is supplied with a cylindrical hole to ensure secure and repeatable clamping in common ISO-style insert seats.
