TPMR160304 T9225 – ISO turning insert, CVD‑coated carbide, Tungaloy

A TPMR160304 T9225 indexable insert designed for medium‑to‑heavy turning operations, featuring a single‑sided chipbreaker and ISO compatibility for reliable workshop use

• CVD‑coated carbide grade T9225
• Universal for medium–heavy steel turning
• 60° triangular shape, 0.4 mm nose radius

Consistent cutting performance under varied conditions

The combination of CVD‑coated carbide and the T9225 grade provides a robust universal solution for medium‑to‑heavy steel machining where changing engagement conditions and light interruptions demand extra toughness. The coating improves heat resistance and reduces flank wear, which translates into longer tool life and fewer indexings. As an ISO turning insert, this product supports stable machining by balancing wear resistance with ductility, making it suitable for challenging production runs without sacrificing surface finish.

Reduced downtime through reliable chip control

The single‑sided chipbreaker is engineered to produce predictable chip forms across a range of cutting parameters, reducing the risk of chip entanglement and tool damage. With its 0.4 mm nose radius, the insert offers a compromise between edge strength and fine surface finish; the geometry helps maintain part accuracy while permitting efficient material removal. These characteristics lead to shorter set‑up times and higher effective spindle utilisation, supporting a measurable improvement in process throughput.

Quick setup and wide holder compatibility for fast changeovers

ISO conformity ensures the insert fits a broad range of standard toolholders, but compatibility depends on form, 11° clearance, tolerance class, fixation and plate thickness. The 60° triangle and a 3.18 mm thickness mean the insert seats securely in standard triangular pockets; the design without a hole requires compatible clamping sets or screw styles. This system approach—indexable plate, matched external holder or boring bar, supporting shim/clamp set and replacement screws—enables rapid swaps and straightforward inventory management in production environments.

Practical guidance for selecting grade and chipbreaker

For stable, repeatable results, choose this grade and chipbreaker when machining steels with moderate to heavy chip loads or when cuts are slightly interrupted. If surface finish or low cutting forces are the priority, opt for a finer nose radius or different chip control geometry; if extreme hardness is present, a different grade will be preferable. The insert is suitable for both external and internal turning applications when matched to the correct holder and cutting data.
