VBMT160404-TM T9215 — VBMT 160404 turning insert for turning applications (Tungaloy)

A VBMT160404-TM T9215 ISO-format turning insert engineered for productive medium-steel machining with a CVD-coated carbide grade that balances wear resistance and fracture toughness.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9215
• Optimised for medium steel turning
• 0.4 mm corner radius for fine profiles
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

Boosted productivity through wear-resistant grade and geometry

The insert's CVD-coated carbide composition, specified as T9215, is selected for reliable performance in continuous to slightly interrupted cuts, combining elevated wear resistance with fracture security. The compact 0.4 mm corner radius supports fine profiling and consistent dimensional control in high-volume turning tasks, while the moderate relief ensures stable cutting forces. These material and geometry choices translate into longer tool life, fewer indexings and a measurable improvement in cycle efficiency for production-focused workshops.

Secure clamping and ISO-system compatibility for repeatable results

Produced to ISO format, the plate is compatible with matching external holders and boring bars when form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness align. The cylindrical hole with single-sided countersink (40°–60°) provides secure seating and repeatable positioning; the system build-up comprises the insert, suitable external holder or boring bar, a shim/clamping set and replacement screws. The result is reliable clamping, reduced micro-movement under load and improved surface finish on turned components.

Application-driven selection for cost-effective turning

Designed as a first choice for medium steel machining, the TM chipbreaker and grade pairing should be selected according to workpiece material, machining type and process stability. The plate’s geometry — rhombic form, 16 mm inscribed size and 4.76 mm thickness — offers flexibility across typical external and internal turning operations. For production shops seeking predictable performance, this solution supports higher metal removal rates and consistent component quality while lowering overall tooling consumption.
