VNMG 160412 T9215 Turning insert by Tungaloy — rhombic ISO insert, CVD-coated carbide, 35° lead angle

VNMG 160412 T9215 is an ISO-standard indexable insert for external and internal turning, designed for medium-steel machining with a focus on high wear resistance and stable chip control

• CVD-coated carbide for high wear resistance
• Optimised for medium steel machining
• Rhombic VNMG shape, 35° lead angle
• Double-sided insert with central cylindrical hole

High productivity through wear-resistant grade and geometry

The combination of a CVD-coated surface and a cemented carbide substrate provides a durable cutting edge that sustains longer tool life under continuous and slightly interrupted cutting conditions. The T9215 grade balances wear resistance with fracture toughness, enabling consistent removal rates on a range of medium steel alloys while reducing unscheduled tool changes. The rhombic VNMG geometry with a 35° lead angle contributes to stable cutting forces and a favourable chip flow, which supports higher spindle speeds and improved cycle times in production environments.

Fewer tool changes and secure clamping for efficient workflows

A double-sided design effectively doubles the available cutting edges, while the central cylindrical hole simplifies precise alignment and secure clamping in compatible holders. The insert’s corner radius 1.2 mm produces robust edge strength for heavier feeds, improving edge life and part finish at moderate cutting depths. Together, these features reduce inventory complexity and downtime for re-indexing, so batch productivity is increased and process reliability is enhanced.

Clear integration into ISO-based tooling systems

Compatibility with a tooling system is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The insert integrates into standard ISO turning systems comprising a matching external holder or boring bar, a shim/clamping kit and replacement screws for straightforward shop-floor interchangeability. The ISO designation and standard dimensions make it straightforward to select a suitable clamping solution and define cutting parameters, supporting predictable surface quality and repeatable part tolerances.
