VCMT160408-TSF T9225 ISO turning insert for medium-to-heavy steel turning by Tungaloy

The VCMT160408-TSF T9225 is an ISO‑standard rhombic turning insert designed for external and internal turning in variable engagement conditions, delivering toughness and consistent performance for interrupted or heavy cuts.

• ISO‑standard rhombic insert, 16 mm size
• CVD‑coated carbide grade T9225
• 0.8 mm corner radius for robust cuts
• Cylindrical hole with one‑sided countersink

Stable cutting performance for demanding steel turning

The CVD‑coated carbide substrate in grade T9225 is engineered for medium‑to‑heavy steel turning, offering a balance of toughness and wear resistance where changing engagement or light interruptions occur. The coated surface reduces adhesion and improves thermal stability, which leads to fewer unscheduled tool changes and a steadier production rhythm. Compatibility with toolholders follows the ISO system, determined by form, clearance, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness, permitting predictable integration into existing tooling setups.

Reliable chip control and secure clamping for consistent finishes

The TSF chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation across a range of cutting conditions, reducing the risk of long, entangling chips and aiding evacuation. The insert’s rhombic shape and 35° cutting angle contribute to accessible cutting geometry for both profiling and light turning passes, while the cylindrical hole with one‑sided countersink (40°–60°) ensures secure clamping and repeatable positioning. With a 4.76 mm plate thickness and 0.8 mm corner radius, the geometry combines rigidity with edge strength to support improved surface quality and process stability.

System approach that supports productivity and predictable tool life

The insert is part of an ISO system that comprises the indexable plate, a matching external holder or boring bar, a shim/clamp set and spare fixing screws; this modularity simplifies logistics and reduces changeover time on the shop floor. Selecting the correct chipbreaker and grade according to workpiece material and machining stability maximises tool life and lowers unit cost per part. For production environments and job shops seeking process security and repeatable results, the combination of the T9225 grade and TSF geometry delivers consistent machining with reduced downtime.

FAQ

What workpiece materials is this insert intended for?
The VCMT160408‑TSF T9225 is optimised for steel machining; the T9225 grade provides toughness suitable for medium‑to‑heavy steel turning and operations with variable engagement.

How does the TSF chipbreaker affect chip behaviour?
The TSF chipbreaker on the Tungaloy insert promotes smaller, controllable chips and aids evacuation, which improves surface finish and reduces the likelihood of chip interference during turning.

Which holder features must be matched to ensure compatibility?
Compatibility depends on the insert form, clearance, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; matching these to the holder or boring bar ensures secure clamping of the VCMT160408‑TSF T9225.

Is the insert suitable for interrupted cuts?
Yes, the CVD‑coated carbide grade T9225 is designed to offer increased toughness for lightly interrupted or variable cuts in steel turning operations.

What system components are recommended for installation?
A complete ISO system for this insert includes a compatible external holder or boring bar, a shim/clamp set and the correct replacement screws to secure the plate reliably.
