VBMT 160402 T9215 — VBMT ISO turning insert for medium steel, 35° lead angle, Tungaloy

The VBMT160402-PS T9215 is an ISO-standard rhombic indexable insert designed for external and internal turning, offering balanced wear resistance and fracture toughness for productive machining of medium steel.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9215
• First choice for medium steel machining
• Rhombic ISO insert VBMT 160402, 5° relief
• 0.2 mm corner radius, hole + 40°–60° countersink

Precision and material advantage for consistent production

The CVD-coated carbide substrate in this insert combines a hard outer layer with a tough core, which translates into longer tool life and consistent dimensional results when machining steel. The T9215 grade has been developed as a first choice for medium steel applications; it balances wear resistance with fracture safety to sustain productivity across continuous and lightly interrupted cuts. The combination of coating and substrate reduces flank wear and maintains edge integrity, so change intervals are extended and downtime is reduced.

Geometry and chip control increase process reliability

With a rhombic geometry and a 35° lead angle, the insert reduces cutting forces and improves surface finish in a wide range of turning operations. The PS chipbreaker is optimised for medium-duty cutting and produces controllable chips that help maintain stable machining conditions. The small 0.2 mm corner radius supports fine finishing passes and accurate profile reproduction. Compatibility with tooling depends on form, 5° clearance, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness, so matching the insert with an appropriate external holder or boring bar is essential for process security.

System approach and application guidance

The insert is supplied as part of an ISO indexable system: insert, suitable external holder or boring bar, shim/clamping set and spare screws. Selection of chipbreaker and grade should be based on workpiece material, cutting strategy and machine–fixture stability. For customers less familiar with CVD-coatings or grade selection, the technical benefits can be summarised: improved wear resistance for longer cycles, fracture resistance for interrupted cuts, and predictable surface quality for downstream processes.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The Tungaloy VBMT160402-PS T9215 is intended primarily for medium steel machining and provides a balance of wear resistance and toughness suitable for continuous to lightly interrupted cuts.

How does the PS chipbreaker influence performance?
The PS chipbreaker offers controlled chip formation for medium-duty turning, improving process stability and helping to prevent built-up edge and erratic chip flow during machining.

What does the T9215 grade provide compared with other grades?
Grade T9215 combines a CVD-coated surface with a tough substrate to deliver longer tool life under typical steel-cutting conditions while maintaining fracture resistance for interrupted cuts.

Which toolholders are compatible with this insert?
Compatibility is determined by insert form, 5° clearance, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness; the insert works with standard ISO external holders or boring bars suited to VBMT 160402 geometry.

Is the 0.2 mm corner radius suitable for finishing?
Yes — the 0.2 mm corner radius is well suited to fine finishing passes and accurate profile control while still offering adequate edge strength for many production tasks.
