VNMG160412 T9215 VNMG turning insert for Turning — CVD-coated carbide, 35° (Tungaloy)

A VNMG160412 T9215 ISO insert designed for external and internal turning, offering robust wear resistance and reliable chip control for medium-steel applications.

• CVD-coated carbide for high wear resistance
• Optimised for medium steel machining
• Double-sided chipbreaker for stable chips
• ISO rhombic VNMG form with 35° approach angle

Productivity advantage for medium-steel turning

The CVD-coated carbide grade T9215 combines wear resistance with fracture toughness to sustain higher cutting speeds and longer tool life in continuous or lightly interrupted cuts. This results in measurable gains in productivity: reduced tool changes and more consistent cycle times. The coating enhances thermal protection and adhesion resistance, while the substrate ensures a robust cutting edge—benefits that translate into fewer process interruptions and improved overall equipment effectiveness.

System compatibility and secure clamping

Compatibility with the toolholder is determined by form, relief angle, tolerance class, attachment method, size and thickness; the ISO designation ensures predictable fit in standard holders. The rhombic VNMG geometry, 35° approach angle and 0° relief angle create a balanced cutting action that suits a wide range of external and internal turning tasks. Inserts are supplied with a cylindrical hole for positive location; proper use of the correct holder, backing clamp and replacement screws secures repeatable positioning and contributes to consistent part quality.

Chip control and application guidance

The double-sided chipbreaker is optimised for medium-steel conditions and supports stable chip formation, which improves surface finish and reduces the risk of chip-related interruptions. In practice, choose feeds and depths that match the grade’s strength: stable, medium-depth cuts benefit from the insert’s resistance to wear and edge chipping. For lightly interrupted cuts the combination of coating and substrate lowers the likelihood of premature edge breakdown, while reliable chip control simplifies swarf handling and machine housekeeping.
