VCMT110304-PSS T9215 — ISO turning indexable insert for turning (Tungaloy)

VCMT110304-PSS T9215 is a CVD-coated carbide indexable insert developed for efficient external and internal turning in medium steel applications

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9215
• Optimised for medium steel machining
• Rhombic 11 mm form, 0.4 mm nose radius
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

Consistent cutting performance for medium steel production

The CVD-coated T9215 grade combines high wear resistance with reliable fracture strength, making it particularly suited to continuous and slightly interrupted cuts on medium steel. The PSS chipbreaker is designed to produce manageable chips and support stable cutting forces, which leads to longer tool life and fewer interruptions on the production floor. Selecting this geometry helps maintain consistent component tolerances and reduces the frequency of insert changes, supporting smoother process control.

Clear mounting and geometric compatibility for fixture planning

Compatibility with tool holders depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The rhombic VCMT form and the specified 7° clearance require a matching seat and clamping arrangement to ensure correct seating and repeatability. The insert thickness of 3.18 mm and the 11 mm nominal size are key dimensions when selecting a suitable external holder or boring bar. Understanding these parameters avoids misfits and ensures predictable cutting behaviour.

Practical chip control and productivity advantages

The PSS chipbreaker is tuned for medium steels to generate short, curled chips under typical turning feeds, which simplifies evacuation and reduces the risk of entanglement. The 0.4 mm nose radius balances edge strength and surface finish: it resists chipping while still allowing good profile definition on turned parts. When applied at stable cutting parameters, this geometry supports higher material removal rates and contributes to an improved cost-per-part ratio in serial turning operations.

Why the Tungaloy grade is a good production choice

Tungaloy’s engineering focus on process reliability and tool life is reflected in this grade: a CVD-coated carbide substrate with a robust coating architecture that withstands abrasive wear and thermal load during medium-steel machining. For shops seeking predictable repeatability, the combination of the VCMT110304-PSS T9215 geometry and the grade’s fracture-tough character yields steady performance across batch runs, lowering scrap risk and improving throughput.

FAQ

What materials is this insert designed to machine? This insert, VCMT110304-PSS T9215 from Tungaloy, is intended primarily for medium steel machining and delivers a balanced combination of wear resistance and toughness for that material group.

How does the 0.4 mm nose radius affect part finish and edge life? A 0.4 mm nose radius increases edge strength compared with a very small radius and supports a good surface finish when cutting parameters are set appropriately for the VCMT geometry and the T9215 grade.

What chip control can be expected with the PSS chipbreaker? The PSS chipbreaker is engineered to produce short, controllable chips in medium steel turning, facilitating safe chip evacuation and reducing interruptions on the machine.

Can this insert be used in interrupted cuts? Yes; the CVD-coated T9215 grade combines toughness with wear resistance and is suitable for continuous to lightly interrupted cuts, offering reliable performance in such conditions.
