VCMT160408-TM T9225 — ISO turning insert, CVD-coated carbide, Tungaloy

A compact ISO turning insert, VCMT160408-TM T9225, engineered for medium to heavy steel turning and interrupted cuts where increased toughness is required.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9225
• ISO-standard rhombic insert VCMT160408
• TM chipbreaker optimised for steel

Consistent cutting performance for steel turning

The combination of a CVD-coated surface and a tough carbide substrate in grade T9225 provides reliable wear resistance while retaining the fracture toughness needed for interrupted cuts and varying engagement conditions. This balance reduces the risk of edge chipping when machining medium to heavy steel, enabling steadier cycle times and fewer tool changes. The result is measurable process stability and an improved cost-per-part ratio without compromising cutting performance.

Secure mounting and ISO interchangeability for workshop flexibility

Designed to the ISO series specifications, the insert offers predictable compatibility with matching holders: form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness determine correct fit. The rhombic geometry with a 35° cutting angle and a cylindrical hole with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°) supports positive screw clamping and simple indexability. This standardisation simplifies stocking and reduces set-up time across multiple lathes or turning centres.

Improved chip control and surface quality through the TM chipbreaker

The TM chipbreaker is tailored for steel applications and encourages controlled chip formation under a range of feeds and depths. Enhanced chip control decreases rework and machine stoppages while promoting a consistent surface finish, particularly when paired with a rigid toolholder and correct cutting parameters. Choose the chipbreaker and grade to match the workpiece material and machining stability for optimal results.

Practical selection notes for lasting productivity

A 0.8 mm nose radius offers a practical compromise between profile accuracy and edge strength for general turning tasks. The insert thickness of 4.76 mm and a 7° clearance angle contribute to robust support in the pocket and improved resistance to bending under heavy cuts. For best longevity, combine the insert with a suitable external holder or boring bar, the correct clamping set and the specified fastening screws; this ensures repeatable positioning and reduced vibration during operation.
