VCMT160408-TSF T9215 — VCMT 160408 ISO indexable turning insert for turning, Tungaloy

VCMT160408-TSF T9215 is an indexable insert engineered for efficient medium-steel turning, combining a CVD-coated carbide grade with a TSF chipbreaker

• ISO indexable insert VCMT160408-TSF T9215
• CVD-coated carbide grade for medium steel
• TSF chipbreaker for continuous to light interrupted cuts
• 0.8 mm corner radius, 7° clearance angle

Productivity through durable CVD-coated carbide and optimised chip control

The CVD-coated cemented carbide grade T9215 pairs high wear resistance with good fracture toughness, making it a reliable choice for sustained production on medium steels. The TSF chipbreaker is designed to form consistent chips under continuous to lightly interrupted cuts, reducing stoppages from chip-related issues and supporting higher metal removal rates. Because the insert is ISO‑standard, the mechanical interface is predictable: compatibility with a given holder is determined by insert form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening type, size and thickness, which simplifies tool selection and inventory management.

Consistent accuracy and improved surface quality with compact geometry

The rhombic geometry and 0.8 mm corner radius deliver a favourable balance between cutting strength and surface finish. A 7° clearance angle reduces rubbing at the flank face, which helps maintain dimensional accuracy across the workpiece and extends insert life. The insert’s geometry—including the 35° included angle and the TSF chip control—supports repeatable results on external and internal turning operations, translating technical specifications into measurable benefits: fewer reworks, predictable cycle times and an improved first-pass yield.

System-ready design and application guidance for turning operations

Supplied as an ISO indexable plate with a cylindrical centre hole and single-sided countersink (40°–60°), the insert fits into standard clamping systems alongside an appropriate outer holder or boring bar, shim/clamp set and replacement screws. For typical applications the grade performs best on medium steels under continuous to light intermittent cutting; for heavily interrupted cuts or exotic alloys, consider alternative grades or reinforced geometries. The product data supports rapid process decisions: insert size 16, thickness 4.76 mm, and an accessible designation that links directly to tooling charts and holder catalogues, reducing setup time and increasing machine uptime.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for continuous turning of medium steel? Yes. The VCMT160408-TSF T9215 insert is specifically developed for medium-steel turning and performs well under continuous and light interrupted cutting conditions.

What does the TSF chipbreaker provide? The TSF chipbreaker on this insert promotes controlled chip formation in continuous to lightly interrupted cuts, improving process stability and reducing the likelihood of chip entanglement.

Which holders accept this ISO insert? Compatibility is determined by insert form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness; the VCMT160408-TSF conforms to ISO dimensions and will fit matching VCMT holders and boring bars from standard tooling ranges.

How is the designation VCMT160408-TSF T9215 interpreted? VCMT denotes the rhombic insert form with a 35° included angle; 160408 indicates nominal size and geometry, 0.8 mm corner radius; TSF identifies the chipbreaker style; T9215 is the CVD-coated carbide grade.

Can this insert be used for interrupted cuts? It is optimised for continuous to light interrupted cuts; for heavy interruptions or highly unstable setups, consider a tougher grade or a different insert geometry better suited to shock resistance.
