Take advantage of CVD-coated T9215 grade and a 0.4 mm corner radius for consistently high productivity and reliable tool life; confirm holder compatibility by matching form, clearance angle and thickness to ensure stable clamping. Order the insert through Metav Werkzeuge or consult their specialists for cutting data and holder recommendations.

VCMT160404-TSF T9215 — ISO turning insert for turning (CVD-coated carbide, 35°)

A VCMT160404-TSF T9215 ISO turning insert optimised for external and internal turning, combining CVD-coated carbide performance with a TSF chipbreaker for medium steel machining

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9215
• Optimised for medium steel machining
• 35° lead angle, rhombic 16 mm form
• 0.4 mm corner radius, TSF chipbreaker
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

Increase throughput with durable, consistent cutting performance

The CVD-coated substrate and T9215 grade deliver a balance of high wear resistance and fracture resistance that translates into longer tool life and fewer indexings on serial production runs. Specified for continuous to light interrupted cuts, this indexable insert offers stable cutting forces that maintain surface quality while allowing higher feed rates than conventional grades. The combination of the coating technology and substrate composition reduces flank wear and preserves the cutting edge, supporting predictable tool-change intervals and better overall line efficiency.

Minimise setup risk through standardised compatibility and secure clamping

Built to the ISO 160404 form, the insert's geometry dictates holder compatibility by form factor, clearance angle and tolerance class; the 7° clearance angle and 35° lead angle influence chip flow and cutting direction. The insert features a cylindrical hole with a one-sided countersink (40°–60°) to ensure repeatable seating in the pocket, while the 4.76 mm thickness and rhombic outline require an appropriate seat and clamping set for full stability. When the holder, underlay and screws match the insert dimensions, clamping rigidity improves, vibration diminishes and achievable cutting parameters increase — a direct advantage for manufacturers seeking consistent part tolerances.

Practical machining guidance for medium-steel applications

The 0.4 mm corner radius provides a good compromise between edge strength and surface finish: it supports moderate roughing and light finishing passes without compromising edge life. The TSF chipbreaker is designed to control chip shape for medium steels, aiding evacuations in standard bore and turning operations. For best results, pair the insert with a holder that matches the ISO 160404 seating and verify the tolerance class before production. If machining involves heavier interruptions or hard inclusions, consider reducing feed or selecting an alternative chipbreaker and review cutting speed adjustments. For handling and inventory, store inserts in their original packaging to protect edges and log SKU details for traceability.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The VCMT160404-TSF T9215 is optimised for medium steel machining; its CVD-coated carbide composition and TSF chipbreaker provide controlled chip formation and extended tool life in these materials.

Can the insert be used for interrupted cuts?
The T9215 grade is intended for continuous to light interrupted cuts; for heavier interruptions, reassess cutting parameters or select a grade tailored for tougher impact conditions.

How is holder compatibility ensured?
Compatibility depends on the insert form, clearance angle (7°), tolerance class, fastening method, size (16 mm) and thickness (4.76 mm); select a holder designed for ISO 160404 inserts and confirm seat and screw specifications.

What does the 0.4 mm corner radius mean for surface finish?
A 0.4 mm corner radius balances edge strength and finish quality, suitable for moderate finishing and general turning where improved edge durability is required.

Where can the manufacturer and article details be found?
Article number 6777793 and manufacturer SKU TUN6777793 identify the VCMT160404-TSF T9215 insert from Tungaloy for procurement and traceability.
