VNMG160404-33 T9225 — VNMG 160404 T9225 ISO turning insert for external and internal turning by Tungaloy

The VNMG160404-33 T9225 is an ISO-format rhombic turning insert designed for external and internal turning applications, offering a CVD-coated carbide grade tuned to medium and heavy steel machining.

• CVD-coated carbide T9225 for robust performance
• 0.4 mm nose radius for reliable surface finish
• ISO VNMG 160404 shape, rhombic geometry
• Suitable for medium to heavy steel turning

High cutting reliability for medium to heavy-duty steel turning

The insert employs a CVD-coated carbide substrate in the T9225 grade, developed for stability under variable engagement and slightly interrupted cuts. The combination of coating and substrate provides improved resistance to edge wear while preserving toughness; this results in extended tool life and predictable change intervals. With the defined 0.4 mm nose radius and the 35° approach geometry, the insert supports a balance of dimensional control and surface integrity on turned parts, reducing rework and machine downtime.

Geometry that balances surface finish and chip control

The rhombic VNMG geometry and the integrated chipbreaker 33 create controlled chip forms for a broad range of cutting depths and feed rates. The design reduces the need for frequent parameter adjustments and supports consistent finishes on steel components. Compatibility with standard ISO toolholders ensures that insert clamping and seat contact remain repeatable; attention to tolerance class and fastening method secures accurate positioning and repeatable part results when using the matching external holder or boring bar.

System compatibility and installation essentials

Insert selection must consider holder interface, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness to ensure proper seating and coolant access. Key dimensions and features include a plate thickness of 4.76 mm, inscribed circle / plate size 16, a clearance angle of 0°, and a cylindrical hole for positive clamping. These measurable values simplify verification against existing toolholders and permit quick replacement using the standard clamping hardware and spare screws in the system setup.

Choosing the right grade and machining strategy

The T9225 grade is a robust universal choice for steel machining where intermittent cuts or variable engagement demand additional toughness rather than the hardest coating option. The CVD surface enhances resistance to built-up edge and thermal wear while the substrate sustains edge strength. For maximum productivity, pair the insert with an appropriate holder and set cutting parameters to match the workpiece material and rigidity of the setup; conservative feeds and a stable clamping arrangement will exploit the grade’s strength and deliver repeatable component quality.

FAQ

What materials are suitable for this insert?
The VNMG160404-33 T9225 insert, in its CVD-coated carbide formulation, is primarily suited to medium and heavy steel turning where toughness is required, including alloyed steels and slightly interrupted cuts.

What are the key dimensions and features to check before fitting?
Check the inscribed circle/size (16), plate thickness (4.76 mm), nose radius (0.4 mm) and the cylindrical hole type; these determine correct seating and clamping for the VNMG160404-33 T9225.

How does the chipbreaker affect machining?
The chipbreaker 33 on this insert promotes controlled chip formation across a range of feeds and depths, aiding consistent surface quality and reducing the risk of entangling chips during turning with the VNMG160404-33 T9225.

Which holders are compatible with this insert?
Holder compatibility is governed by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; select an ISO-compatible external holder or boring bar matched to the VNMG geometry and the 0° clearance angle.

What are the product identifiers for ordering?
Manufacturer article number: 6780950; Manufacturer SKU: TUN6780950; Seller SKU: 6780950-Tungaloy. Use these identifiers when specifying the VNMG160404-33 T9225.
