CNMG 160608 T9225 – ISO indexable insert for turning by Tungaloy

CNMG 160608 T9225 – Tungaloy indexable insert is an ISO-standard turning insert designed for medium to heavy steel machining, offering a CVD-coated cemented carbide grade optimised for interrupted cuts and variable engagement.

• ISO‑compatible rhombic insert
• CVD‑coated cemented carbide grade T9225
• Double‑sided chipbreaker for stable cutting
• 6.35 mm plate thickness for secure clamping

High cutting reliability for demanding steel work

The CVD‑coated carbide composition and the T9225 grade deliver a balance of toughness and edge stability suited to medium and heavy steel turning. The coating supports higher thermal resistance and improved wear behaviour, which helps to maintain cutting edge integrity under variable engagement or slightly interrupted cuts. This results in fewer indexings, longer productive life per edge and more predictable change intervals in batch production.

Secure mounting and standard compatibility reduce setup time

Built as an ISO indexable insert, compatibility with toolholders depends on geometry, 0° clearance angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness. The rhombic plate form, cylindrical hole and 6.35 mm thickness ensure a firm mechanical fit in properly matched holders and boring bars. Clear reference to the ISO designation eases selection of a matching outside holder or boring bar, helping to avoid mismatches that compromise rigidity or repeatability.

Consistent chip control and surface quality

The double‑sided chipbreaker geometry has been engineered to manage chips effectively during external and internal turning operations, reducing built‑up edge and ensuring steady evacuation. The 0.8 mm nose radius contributes to a robust cutting edge and helps achieve a reliable surface finish without sacrificing strength at the tip — a pragmatic trade‑off for shopfloor production where stability and repeatable finish yield operational gains.

Practical selection guidance for shopfloor use

Choose the chipbreaker and the T9225 grade according to the workpiece material, machining strategy and machine stability; the insert performs well where moderate to heavy material removal is required and where occasional interruptions occur. The ISO series is supplied as an insert, to be combined with a suitable outside holder, shim or clamping kit and replacement screws to complete the system. For validation of holder compatibility and process parameters, the supplier’s technical data and trial cuts remain the recommended route.

For reliable medium‑to‑heavy steel turning with proven chip control, specify the Tungaloy T9225 CNMG 160608 insert and contact Metav Werkzeuge for tailored advice and order placement.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for? The CNMG 160608 T9225 is designed primarily for medium to heavy steel machining, where toughness and edge stability under variable engagement are required.

How does the T9225 grade affect tool life? The T9225 CVD coating enhances thermal resistance and wear behaviour, which typically increases edge life and reduces the frequency of indexings under comparable cutting conditions.

Is the insert compatible with standard ISO holders? Yes; the ISO designation and the rhombic geometry mean the insert is compatible with holders that accept CNMG‑style inserts, provided the holder matches form, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness.

What advantage does the double‑sided chipbreaker provide? The double‑sided chipbreaker offers reliable chip formation in both index orientations, improving evacuation and contributing to more consistent surface quality during turning.

Can this insert be used for interrupted cuts? The CNMG‑shaped insert in T9225 is intended for applications where slightly interrupted cuts occur and where a tougher grade is beneficial for edge integrity.
