VCMT160408-PS T9225 (VCMT 160408 T9225) — ISO turning insert, CVD-coated carbide, 0.8 mm radius (Tungaloy)

A VCMT160408-PS T9225 indexable insert engineered for ISO-compatible external and internal turning in medium to heavy steel applications

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9225
• Robust universal grade for medium–heavy steel
• 0.8 mm nose radius for consistent profile
• ISO rhombic insert with 7° clearance angle

Consistent cutting performance for medium–heavy steels

The CVD-coated carbide T9225 grade provides a balance of toughness and wear resistance tailored to demanding turning where variable engagement and light interruptions occur. The CVD-coated carbide layer increases resistance to built-up edge and abrasion, while the substrate maintains edge stability under load. This combination supports longer cutting times and fewer index changes, resulting in improved process reliability and reduced non-productive time. The insert’s 0.8 mm nose radius helps sustain accurate profiles without sacrificing edge strength, making it suitable for robust component machining in series production or small-batch work.

Seamless ISO integration for rapid set-up

Designed to ISO dimensions and a rhombic geometry, the insert fits into standard holders when matched by form, clearance, tolerance class, attachment and thickness. Key dimensional data—16 mm size and 4.76 mm thickness—simplify holder selection, while the 7° clearance and the 35° approach angle ensure predictable cutting engagement. The insert features a cylindrical hole with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°), enabling secure fastening and repeatable clamping. Choosing the PS chipbreaker variant aligns chip control to general turning tasks; selecting the correct chipformer and compatible holder reduces mounting errors and shortens set-up times on the shop floor.

Better economy through controlled chips and durable edge life

By pairing effective chip control with a robust substrate, the insert supports steady material removal rates and a consistent surface finish. The PS chipbreaker promotes manageable chips in a wide range of steel turning scenarios, which helps to protect the toolholder and workpiece from erratic chip flow. The insert is intended to be used as part of a system—indexable insert plus appropriate external holder or boring bar, underlay/clamp set and replacement screws—to maintain process stability. The result is predictable tool life and fewer unplanned interventions, increasing production efficiency and operator confidence.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The VCMT160408-PS T9225 insert is intended primarily for medium to heavy steel turning; the T9225 grade and PS chipbreaker are selected for robust performance under varying engagement and lightly interrupted cuts.

How does the PS chipbreaker affect machining?
The PS chipbreaker on this indexable insert promotes controlled chip formation across typical turning operations, improving chip evacuation and reducing the risk of chip interference with the toolholder.

Which holders are compatible with the insert?
Compatibility depends on holder form, clearance angle, tolerance class, attachment method, size and thickness; the insert’s ISO rhombic form and dimensions (16 mm × 4.76 mm) match standard holders designed for VCMT-style plates.

What does the T9225 designation signify?
T9225 identifies the carbide grade and coating concept: a CVD-coated carbide blend optimised for a balance of toughness and wear resistance in medium to heavy steel machining.

Is the insert suitable for internal turning?
Yes, the insert’s geometry and chip control features make it appropriate for both external and internal turning when used with a suitable boring bar or internal holder.
