DCMT 070204 T9225 — Tungaloy DCMT070204 T9225 turning insert, CVD-coated carbide, 0.4 mm radius

A DCMT070204 T9225 indexable turning insert for robust medium-to-heavy steel turning, featuring a single-sided chipbreaker and an ISO-compliant rhombic geometry

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9225
• Robust for medium to heavy steel turning
• 7° clearance for secure cutting geometry
• Single-sided chipbreaker with cylindrical hole

Consistent cutting performance in mixed steel conditions

The CVD-coated carbide grade T9225 delivers a reliable balance of toughness and wear resistance tailored for medium to heavy steel turning. The coating reduces flank wear under higher temperatures while the substrate maintains fracture resistance during slightly interrupted cuts. This combination results in consistent tool life and fewer unplanned insert changes, improving machine uptime and lowering process costs. The universal character of the grade allows one insert to cover a range of steels and variable engagement conditions without sacrificing surface finish or dimensional stability.

Secure seating and straightforward holder compatibility

As an ISO-compliant rhombic insert, the plate is designed for standard indexable holders; compatibility is governed by form, clearance, tolerance class, attachment method, size and thickness. The 2.38 mm thickness and rhombic shape provide a stable support surface and predictable clamping behaviour, while the 0.4 mm corner radius contributes to defined cutting forces and improved edge life. Clear guidance on matching the insert to the correct external holder reduces set-up time and the risk of misalignment, ensuring reliable repeatability in batch production and ease of replacement in routine maintenance.

Controlled chip formation and predictable productivity

The single-sided chipbreaker supports defined chip control across a wide range of feeds and depths of cut, contributing to improved surface quality and reduced rework. The plate is supplied with hole (cylindrical hole plus one-sided countersink, 40°–60°) for secure fixation in clamping systems, and its 7° clearance combined with the 55° included geometry optimises cutting engagement for turning operations. Together, these features promote stable cutting, easier chip evacuation and a predictable process window, helping to maintain cycle times and reduce secondary operations.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The DCMT070204 T9225 Tungaloy turning insert is optimised for medium to heavy steel turning and performs well under variable engagement conditions where toughness and wear resistance are required (SKU: 6781168-Tungaloy).

How does the T9225 grade differ from standard wear-focused grades?
The T9225 grade is a CVD-coated, tougher universal grade that prioritises fracture resistance and stable chip formation over maximum abrasion resistance, making it suitable for interrupted or variable cuts.

Which holder characteristics must be checked before fitting the insert?
Confirm holder form, clearance angle, tolerance class, attachment method, insert size and thickness; these dimensions ensure proper seating of the DCMT070204 insert and secure clamping.

Can this insert be used for profiling and finishing passes?
Yes; the 0.4 mm corner radius and single-sided chipbreaker provide a balance between edge strength and achievable surface finish, suitable for many finishing and semi-finishing operations.

What does the hole and countersink configuration offer?
The cylindrical hole with one-sided countersink (40°–60°) facilitates positive, repeatable clamping and helps maintain consistent insert position, improving process stability.
