VNMG160408 T9215 — ISO turning insert VNMG 160408 for turning, CVD-coated carbide, 35° by Tungaloy

The VNMG160408 T9215 is an ISO rhombic indexable insert designed for external and internal turning; it pairs a CVD-coated carbide grade with a 35° geometry for productive medium-steel machining.

• CVD-coated carbide for high wear resistance
• Optimised for medium steel machining
• Rhombic VNMG 16 profile, 35° cutting angle
• 0.8 mm corner radius with cylindrical hole

Higher productivity through a wear-resistant carbide grade

The CVD-coated T9215 grade combines elevated wear resistance with maintained fracture toughness, making it suitable for continuous to slightly interrupted cuts in medium steel. This balance reduces indexable insert change frequency and supports longer uninterrupted production runs, which translates into measurable gains in process efficiency and tool-life reliability. The coating protects the substrate while the carbide core ensures dimensional stability under load.

Consistent clamping and geometry for precise turning results

The rhombic VNMG profile with a 35° cutting angle and 0.8 mm corner radius provides a reliable compromise between edge strength and surface finish. The insert is supplied with a cylindrical hole for secure mounting; compatibility with a chosen holder depends on insert form, clearance angle (0°), tolerance class, fastening and size. Users benefit from predictable cutting behaviour when the correct holder and clamping set are selected, improving repeatability and part quality.

Practical application notes and selection advice for turning

Designed specifically for turning operations, the insert supports both external and internal machining when paired with a matching outer holder or boring bar, clamping support and replacement screws. The double-sided chipbreaker allows economical use of both cutting edges, while the ISO standard designation simplifies selection across tool holders. For best results, match chipbreaker and grade to workpiece stability and machining type; technical support is available for application optimisation and compatibility checks.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The VNMG160408 T9215 insert is optimised for medium steel machining; the CVD-coated carbide grade T9215 offers wear resistance and toughness appropriate for this material class.

Is the insert compatible with standard VNMG holders?
Compatibility is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; the VNMG160408 T9215 is ISO-standard and fits holders designed for VNMG 160408 geometry.

How does the 0.8 mm corner radius influence results?
A 0.8 mm corner radius increases edge strength for more robust cutting and helps achieve balanced surface finish and tool life when machining medium steel with appropriate feeds and stability.

Can both sides of the insert be used?
Yes, the insert features a double-sided chipbreaker design, allowing economical use of multiple cutting edges before replacement.

What role does the CVD coating play?
The CVD coating on the T9215 grade enhances wear resistance and contributes to longer edge life under continuous to slightly interrupted cutting conditions.
