VNMG 160404 T9235 — Turning Rhombic Insert (TSF) by Tungaloy

VNMG 160404 T9235 is an ISO rhombic turning insert designed for external and internal steel turning under unstable or interrupted cutting conditions

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9235 for steel
• Rhombic VNMG form with 35° angle
• TSF chipbreaker for interrupted cuts
• Cylindrical hole for secure clamping

High wear resistance for longer tool life

The VNMG160404-TSF T9235 combines a CVD coating with a tough carbide substrate to provide enhanced wear resistance and thermal stability, which is especially valuable in lower cutting-speed turning of steel. The T9235 grade is formulated to resist edge wear during fluctuating cutting forces, so machining cycles can achieve longer service intervals. This results in reduced changeover frequency and a more consistent surface finish without the need for aggressive cutting parameters.

Secure chip control and reliable performance in interrupted cuts

The integrated TSF chipbreaker has been developed to handle interrupted cuts and variable chip formation typical of unstable setups. With a rhombic VNMG geometry and a lead angle of 35°, the insert promotes favourable cutting forces and predictable chip flow. The 0° relief angle and corner radius 0.4 mm support edge strength, reducing the risk of chipping when the cut is broken or when workpiece run-out occurs. The combined geometry and chipbreaker yield a stable cutting process and more reliable component quality.

Simple compatibility and secure clamping for efficient set-up

Insert compatibility is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness; this rhombic plate fits standard VNMG holders when those parameters match. The cylindrical hole enables secure clamping with standard screws and underlays, minimising micro‑movement during heavy or interrupted engagement. The ISO‑based system construction supports straightforward insert replacement and inventory management, reducing set‑up times and simplifying tool logistics on the shop floor.

Practical choice for productive steel turning operations

Selected for external and internal turning, this grade is aimed at production environments that prioritise process stability over maximum cutting speed. The combination of chip control, edge toughness and ISO compatibility makes the insert appropriate where downtime must be limited and surface integrity preserved. For shops requiring tailored parameter recommendations or verification of holder compatibility, further technical assessment and machining trials are recommended to secure the expected productivity gains.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The VNMG160404-TSF T9235 is specified for machining steel, with the T9235 grade optimised for tougher conditions and lower cutting speeds.

How does the TSF chipbreaker affect machining?
The TSF chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation during interrupted cuts, improving stability and reducing the likelihood of edge damage on the insert.

Which holders are compatible with this insert?
Compatibility depends on holder form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; holders designed for VNMG 160404 ISO plates with matching parameters will accept this insert.

What does the 35° geometry provide?
A 35° lead angle balances cutting forces and chip flow, aiding in predictable tool behaviour and often improving surface finish compared with steeper nose geometries.

Is the insert supplied with mounting screws or underlays?
The insert is an ISO indexable plate; the system requires a matching outer holder or boring bar, underlay and fixing screws as appropriate — these items are typically ordered separately.
