VBMT 160404 T9225 indexable insert for turning — Tungaloy

The VBMT160404-PSF T9225 is an ISO-standard indexable insert designed for medium to heavy steel turning, offering robust cutting performance under variable engagement conditions.

• CVD-coated carbide for heavy-duty turning
• 0.4 mm corner radius for reliable chip control
• ISO VBMT160404 form, 5° relief angle
• Cylindrical hole with single-sided countersink

High reliability for interrupted and mixed cuts

The combination of a CVD-coated substrate and the T9225 grade delivers increased fracture resistance under fluctuating engagement conditions. This makes the insert particularly suitable for medium to heavy steel turning, where periodic interruptions or variable feed conditions can otherwise reduce tool life. The material selection and coating process emphasise toughness and thermal stability, so machining cycles benefit from fewer unscheduled tool changes and more consistent performance.

Controlled chips and consistent surface quality

Equipped with the PSF chipbreaker and a 0.4 mm corner radius, the geometry promotes predictable chip formation and evacuation. The 35° lead angle reduces cutting forces and helps to distribute load across the cutting edge, which supports a steady surface finish during external and internal turning operations. These design choices lower the risk of built-up edge and improve process stability when working with a range of steel grades.

ISO compatibility for fast tool changes

The insert follows the ISO VBMT160404 specification and is manufactured with a 4.76 mm thickness and a 16 mm inscribed circle, ensuring compatibility with standard indexable toolholders. A cylindrical hole with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°) secures repeatable clamping and precise seating in the holder. Tool selection should consider form, relief angle, tolerance class and attachment method to guarantee correct fitment and repeatable results.

Productive economics and application guidance

Using a robust universal grade like T9225 can reduce tooling stock complexity by covering a broad range of steels with one insert family. The carbide construction and CVD coating support longer edge life in tougher cuts, which contributes to lower total cost per component in volume production. Assistance with grade selection, chipbreaker matching and machining parameters can be provided by Metav Werkzeuge to align the insert’s capabilities with specific process requirements.
