VBMT160408-TSF T9225 VBMT indexable insert for Turning — Tungaloy

VBMT160408-TSF T9225 is an ISO-standard indexable turning insert designed for medium to heavy steel machining, offering a robust CVD coating and a TSF chipbreaker for intermittently interrupted cuts

• CVD-coated carbide for durable edge life
• TSF chipbreaker for stable chip control
• 0.8 mm corner radius for repeatable part finish
• ISO VBMT160408 form with cylindrical hole and countersink

Longer tool life through a CVD-coated universal grade

The CVD-coated T9225 carbide grade is specified for durability under varying engagement conditions. Its coating and substrate combination provide a balance of wear resistance and toughness, which translates into fewer tool changes and more consistent cycle times during medium to heavy-duty turning. By selecting a universal grade, the toolholder setup benefits from predictable wear patterns, reducing the need for frequent regrinding and lowering overall process interruption.

Predictable chip formation and process stability

A dedicated TSF chipbreaker delivers controlled chip segmentation even in slightly interrupted cuts, which reduces the risk of built-up edge and improves surface consistency. The rhombic geometry with a 0.8 mm corner radius supports stable cutting forces and helps preserve dimensional accuracy on external and internal turning operations. These features together make the insert particularly suited to shops seeking steady throughput and reliable batch repeatability.

Engineered for ISO compatibility and easy integration

The insert follows ISO designation VBMT160408-TSF, meaning compatibility with standard VBMT holders is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening and thickness. The 5° clearance angle and the plate thickness of 4.76 mm ensure mechanical stability in a wide range of clamping systems. The central cylindrical hole with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°) simplifies secure fastening and repeatable seating in indexed toolheads.

Application focus: practical benefits on steel components

Optimised for turning of steels, this indexable insert is a practical choice when jobs demand toughness to handle varying cut depths or intermittent engagement. The combination of grade and chipbreaker supports improved surface finish and process reliability, reducing downstream rework. For operations that alternate between roughing and finishing in one setup, the insert’s robustness helps maintain performance across different cutting conditions.
