VNMG 160412 T9215 — Turning insert (ISO) by Tungaloy — CVD-coated carbide, 35° rhombic geometry

VNMG160412 T9215 is an ISO-standard insert for precision turning, intended for external and internal turning with a focus on medium-steel machining

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9215
• 35° rhombic geometry for versatile turning
• 1.2 mm corner radius for stable cutting

Increased productivity for medium-steel operations

The T9215 grade is a CVD-coated carbide developed for sustained performance in medium steel machining. Its composition balances wear resistance with fracture toughness, enabling higher cutting speeds and longer tool life in continuous to slightly interrupted cuts. This results in fewer tool changes and more stable cycle times on production parts. The engineered coating supports thermal resistance and reduces adhesive wear, which directly contributes to predictable tool behaviour and cost-effective machining.

Stable cutting edge for improved surface finish

A 35° rhombic geometry combined with a 1.2 mm corner radius provides a secure cutting edge that resists chipping under typical turning loads. The double-sided chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation, reducing vibration and improving the consistency of the machined surface. For operators seeking repeatable component quality, this geometry enhances dimensional stability and delivers improved surface quality with fewer rework steps.

ISO compatibility and straightforward tool set-up

The insert complies with ISO-standard dimensions and is supplied with a cylindrical hole and a plate thickness of 4.76 mm, facilitating secure clamping in compatible holders. The fit to the holder is determined by form, clearance angle (0°), tolerance class, fastening and size; attention to these interfaces ensures repeatable seating and optimal transfer of forces during turning. The item is available under manufacturer SKU TUN6772362 and article number 6772362 for easy procurement and tool management.

Practical selection advice for efficient machining

For efficient, economical turning choose the chipbreaker and grade that match workpiece material and machine stability — T9215 is recommended as a first choice for medium-steel applications where a balance of productivity and tool life is required. Use the rhombic insert for both external profiling and light internal turning where rigidity is sufficient. If clarification on cutting parameters or holder compatibility is needed, supplementary cutting data can be provided to align feed and speed with production goals.
