SNMG150616 T9225 ISO turning insert — CVD-coated carbide, 1.6 mm nose radius (Tungaloy)

The SNMG150616 T9225 is an ISO-standard indexable turning insert designed for medium-to-heavy steel turning, offering a universal, tough grade and a square, double-sided configuration suitable for external and internal turning.

• CVD-coated carbide T9225
• Universal grade for medium–heavy steel
• Double-sided with 1.6 mm nose radius

Consistent metal removal with a tough universal grade

The insert uses a CVD-coated carbide grade T9225, developed for stable chip formation and productive machining across a broad range of steels. This universal grade combines hardness and toughness to resist edge chipping during interrupted cuts and variable engagement, translating into fewer indexings and lower tool-change frequency. For production shops seeking predictable cutting performance, the coating improves wear resistance while the substrate preserves toughness where it matters most.

Secure seating and dimensional features for rigid turning setups

Mechanical stability is essential for accurate turning. The square geometry with a 6.35 mm thickness and a cylindrical hole provides secure clamping in compatible ISO SNMG holders; the 0° clearance angle supports a consistent cutting edge orientation. These dimensional characteristics reduce vibration and support consistent surface finish quality when the holder, underlay and fastening hardware are matched to ISO-standard specifications. Compatibility is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening type, size and thickness.

Practical advice for productive machining

The double-sided chipbreaker design increases indexable life by providing two cutting edges per seat and supports good chip control in a variety of turning conditions. The 1.6 mm nose radius favours strength and stability for medium to heavy cuts while still enabling acceptable surface finish in many applications. For best results, select the chipbreaker and grade based on workpiece stability and feed parameters; moderate feeds with stable fixturing exploit the grade’s toughness and minimise flank wear.

System considerations and recommended setup

An efficient setup comprises the ISO SNMG150616 insert, a matching external or boring holder, appropriate underlay or clamp set and the correct replacement screws. Ensuring holder compatibility—in terms of seat form, tolerance and fastening—keeps the insert seated firmly and maintains cutting geometry, which is especially important for interrupted cuts and variable engagement. The insert is intended for turning operations and is particularly suitable where a balance of wear resistance and toughness is required.
