VNMG 160404 T9215 (VNMG160404-ZF) Indexable turning insert, CVD-coated cemented carbide, Tungaloy

The VNMG160404‑ZF T9215 is an ISO‑rhombic indexable turning insert for external and internal turning, optimised for medium‑steel machining with a CVD‑coated cemented carbide grade for enhanced tool life.

• CVD-coated cemented carbide grade T9215
• ISO rhombic VNMG form with 35° lead
• 0.4 mm corner radius for versatile finishing
• Chipbreaker ZF for medium-steel applications

Maximised productivity for medium‑steel turning

The combination of CVD coating and T9215 cemented carbide provides a balance between wear resistance and fracture toughness, specifically tuned for medium‑strength steels. This results in consistent cutting performance during continuous to slightly interrupted cuts, reducing downtime for tool changes and supporting higher throughput on lathes. The rhombic geometry with a 35° lead angle promotes effective cutting action while the 0° clearance angle maintains stable contact, helping to preserve edge integrity and surface quality during extended runs.

Clear system compatibility and simple integration

Compatibility with the clamping system and holder depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening and plate dimensions; this insert is designed as an ISO‑standard item and integrates into standard VNMG‑compatible external holders or boring bars. The system typically comprises the indexable insert, the external holder or boring bar, a backing shim/clamp set and replacement screws. The insert’s cylindrical hole and standard mounting make retrofitting straightforward, while the ISO designation ensures predictable interchangeability across industrial tool systems.

Practical wear control and application advice

The chipbreaker ZF geometry is matched to the T9215 grade, promoting controlled chip formation when machining medium steels; this reduces the risk of built‑up edge and improves surface finish. The 0.4 mm corner radius offers a compromise between durability and the ability to achieve fine finishes; select this radius where a balance between edge strength and dimensional accuracy is required. For best results, match the chipbreaker and grade to workpiece stability and cutting conditions — heavier interruptions require different stability measures or alternative chipbreaker styles.

Economical, reliable performance and handling

Using an ISO‑standard indexable insert simplifies inventory management and supports cost‑efficient machining through reduced setup time and predictable wear behaviour. The T9215 grade is targeted at productive machining, offering stable chip formation and reliable tool life, which together lower per‑part tooling costs. Handling and identification are simplified by the clear ISO marking and the manufacturer article number, allowing maintenance teams to replace inserts rapidly and keep machine uptime high.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The VNMG160404‑ZF T9215 insert is optimised for medium‑strength steels; the T9215 grade and CVD coating provide wear resistance and fracture toughness for productive machining.

How does the chipbreaker ZF influence machining?
The ZF chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation when using the T9215 grade, improving surface finish and reducing built‑up edge during continuous to slightly interrupted turning operations.

Will this insert fit my existing VNMG holder?
Compatibility depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method and plate dimensions; the ISO VNMG designation of the insert facilitates fitting to standard VNMG external holders and boring bars when those parameters match.

What does the 0.4 mm corner radius mean for my parts?
A 0.4 mm corner radius provides a compromise between edge strength and achievable surface finish, suitable for general finishing and semi‑finishing in medium‑steel turning.

How can the VNMG160404‑ZF T9215 be identified for reordering?
Use the designation VNMG160404‑ZF T9215 together with the manufacturer article number 6772353 or SKU 6772353‑Tungaloy when reordering to ensure the correct grade and geometry are supplied.
