RCMT1606M0-RS T9215 – ISO indexable turning insert for Turning by Tungaloy

RCMT1606M0-RS T9215 is an ISO indexable turning insert optimised for external and internal turning of medium steel, designed to deliver high wear resistance and breakage security in productive machining.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9215
• ISO indexable form RCMT 1606M0
• 7° clearance angle for stable cutting
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

Higher productivity through wear-resistant grade and coating

The T9215 grade combines a CVD-coated surface with a robust carbide substrate to extend tool life in medium steel turning. This composition increases wear resistance and offers improved fracture toughness, which reduces unplanned tool changes and downtime. For practical terms: the coating reduces abrasive wear at elevated cutting speeds, while the substrate resists chipping during light interruptions, leading to fewer indexings and steadier process output.

Stable clamping and geometry for consistent surface finish

The insert’s ISO geometry (RCMT1606M0) and round form provide a secure fit in compatible holders, aided by a cylindrical hole and a single‑sided countersink (40°–60°) that ensure reliable seating and clamping. With an inscribed circle of 16 mm, a thickness of 6.35 mm and a 7° clearance angle, this configuration reduces vibration and delivers predictable cutting forces, which benefits surface integrity and repeatable part tolerances in both external and internal turning operations.

System compatibility and easy application selection

Supplied as part of a standard ISO turning system, the insert works with matched outside holders or boring bars, a backing shim or clamp set and replacement screws. The RS chipbreaker is intended for continuous to slightly interrupted cuts and should be selected together with the T9215 grade to match workpiece stability and machining strategy. This approach simplifies tool choice, shortens set‑up time and supports a controlled chip form for safer, higher‑speed machining.
