VBMT 160402 T9225 Wendeplatten - Tungaloy

Benefit from the combination of CVD‑coated carbide T9225 and ISO‑conform VBMT geometry for reliable medium‑to‑heavy turning operations; the robust grade and chipbreaker deliver stable edge life even under slightly interrupted cuts. Ensure holder compatibility by matching form, clearance angle and size, and order the insert via Metav Werkzeuge or consult the technical team if further clarification is required.

VBMT160402-PS T9225 — ISO turning insert, CVD‑coated carbide, 0.2 mm nose radius (Tungaloy)

A VBMT160402-PS T9225 insert for ISO‑standard turning, optimised for medium to heavy steel machining where interrupted cuts demand a tougher, more forgiving grade

• VBMT160402-PS T9225 ISO turning insert
• CVD-coated carbide for robust performance
• 0.2 mm nose radius for precise profiles
• Cylindrical hole + single-side countersink

Consistent tool life for variable cutting conditions

The combination of CVD‑coated carbide and the T9225 grade provides a balance of hardness and toughness that is intended for medium to heavy steel machining. The coating enhances resistance to abrasive wear while the substrate maintains edge integrity during fluctuating engagement. This makes the insert particularly suited to operations where cuts are slightly interrupted or where workpiece properties vary: tool life becomes more predictable and tool change frequency is reduced, supporting higher productivity and lower process variance.

Stable chip control and secure clamping for shopfloor reliability

Integrated PS chipbreaker geometry has been designed to promote reliable chip formation under typical turning feeds, reducing the risk of long, tangled swarf and improving evacuation. The cylindrical hole with a single‑side countersink (40°–60°) contributes to a repeatable and rigid seating in the toolholder; clamping force is concentrated where it is most effective, so cutting forces are transferred consistently and vibrations are minimised. The result is improved process stability and fewer unexpected interruptions during production.

Precise contouring and surface quality for finished components

A 0.2 mm nose radius supports accurate profile reproduction and helps achieve a good surface finish on turned components, while the 35° approach angle and 5° clearance angle combine to reduce radial cutting forces and prevent premature flank wear. These geometric choices translate into controlled cutting engagement and a balance between strength at the cutting edge and the ability to produce fine external and internal features with repeatable dimensional results.

Seamless integration into ISO‑based turning systems

As an ISO‑standard insert in VBMT geometry, the component is compatible with a wide range of external holders and boring bars when the form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening type, size and thickness are matched correctly. Typical system build comprises the insert, a suitable holder, a shim/clamping set and replacement screws; this modular approach simplifies inventory management and replacement procedures. Specification adherence means predictable mounting and repeatable performance across tool changes and batches.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The VBMT160402-PS T9225 insert (Tungaloy, insert SKU TUN6781186) is engineered primarily for medium to heavy steel turning, delivering robustness where variable engagement or slight interruptions occur.

How does the PS chipbreaker affect machining?
The PS chipbreaker on the VBMT160402-PS T9225 encourages short, manageable chips under common feed and depth settings; this improves chip evacuation and reduces the likelihood of swarf-related process stops when turning steel components.

Which holder features are required for correct mounting?
Correct compatibility is achieved by matching holder form, 5° clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening type, size and thickness; the cylindrical hole with a single‑side countersink aids secure, repeatable clamping in standard ISO VBMT holders.

Can the insert produce fine surface finishes on profiles?
Yes. The 0.2 mm nose radius together with the 35° approach angle on the VBMT160402-PS T9225 contributes to controlled cutting engagement and improved surface finish on external and internal turned features.

Are replacement parts and shims required for system assembly?
A complete turning setup for the VBMT160402-PS T9225 typically includes the insert, a suitable external holder or boring bar, a shim/clamping set and replacement screws to ensure correct seating and process stability.
