VBMT160404-TM T9225 — VBMT 160404 indexable turning insert for turning (Tungaloy)

A VBMT160404-TM T9225 insert engineered for ISO-compliant external and internal turning, offering high wear resistance and reliable chip control in interrupted and variable engagement conditions.

• CVD-coated T9225 for medium‑to‑heavy steel
• Rhombic insert, 16 mm inscribed circle
• 0.4 mm corner radius for stable turning
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

High cutting performance for demanding steel turning

The combination of the T9225 CVD‑coated cemented carbide and the TM chipbreaker is designed to balance toughness and wear resistance in the face of changing cut conditions. This grade provides increased edge security during medium to heavy-duty operations and supports longer tool life under fluctuating engagement or light interruptions. The coated substrate improves resistance to abrasive wear while the chipbreaker shapes chips for controlled evacuation, reducing the risk of workpiece damage and machine downtime. Overall, the insert translates material and coating technology into measurable process stability and efficiency.

Proven fit and quick mounting to standard holders

ISO geometry ensures predictable compatibility with commercial toolholders: the 16 mm inscribed circle and 4.76 mm thickness match common VBMT toolholder pockets, while the 35° approach angle and 5° clearance angle influence cutting forces and surface finish. The insert’s 0.4 mm radius provides a compromise between edge strength and finish quality. The cylindrical hole with one-sided countersink (40°–60°) secures repeatable clamping and simple replacement during set‑up. These standardised dimensions reduce tool inventory complexity and speed changeovers, supporting leaner workflows on the shop floor.

Application guidance and production benefits

Intended primarily for external and internal turning, the insert performs best when the TM chipbreaker and T9225 grade are matched to the workpiece material, feed and stability of the set‑up. Selection of cutting data should favour the grade’s robustness for slightly interrupted cuts and variable engagement; this supports consistent part quality and lower overall tooling costs through fewer changes and longer edge life.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The VBMT160404-TM T9225 is optimised for medium to heavy steel turning; the T9225 CVD coating and cemented carbide substrate offer wear resistance suitable for varying steel grades.

Can the insert handle interrupted cuts?
Yes, the T9225 grade and TM chipbreaker provide the toughness required for slightly interrupted cuts and variable engagement during turning operations.

Which toolholders are compatible with this insert geometry?
Holders designed for VBMT‑type rhombic inserts with a 16 mm inscribed circle and 4.76 mm thickness are compatible; the ISO VBMT form ensures standard fitment.

How does the TM chipbreaker affect chip control?
The TM chipbreaker shapes and breaks chips to improve evacuation and reduce entanglement, contributing to safer machining and more consistent surface finishes when using the Tungaloy VBMT160404-TM T9225 insert.

What are the key dimensions to check during set‑up?
Verify the inscribed circle (16 mm), thickness (4.76 mm), approach angle (35°), clearance angle (5°) and the 0.4 mm corner radius to ensure correct seating and cutting geometry.
