VNMG160408 T9235 — ISO turning insert, CVD-coated carbide, 35° entry angle — Tungaloy

The VNMG160408 T9235 is a rhombic ISO turning insert designed for steel turning under unstable or interrupted conditions, offering a tough grade and double-sided chipbreaker for productive machining.

• CVD-coated carbide for tough conditions
• Double-sided chipbreaker for interrupted cuts
• 35° entering angle for versatile turning

Stable chip control for interrupted and unstable cuts

The combination of a CVD-coated carbide substrate and the T9235 grade provides a balance between toughness and wear resistance that favours stable chip formation when turning steel at moderate speeds. In practice, the coating reduces flank wear and improves edge retention under variable cutting forces, while the geometry and chipbreaker design maintain consistent evacuation. This results in fewer tool changes and more predictable process behaviour on components where interrupted cuts or unstable setups would otherwise cause rapid edge failure.

Robust edge life and predictable surface finish

A 35° entering angle paired with the 0.8 mm radius yields a robust cutting edge suited to roughing and semi-finishing operations; the configuration absorbs shock loads and supports reproducible tool life. The moderate corner radius reduces the risk of chipping in start‑stop cuts, while the insert form contributes to acceptable surface integrity without demanding excessive spindle power. For production runs with mixed stability, this combination increases uptime and reduces scrap rates through dependable mechanical behaviour.

ISO compatibility and system integration for efficient replacement

As an ISO-compliant rhombic insert with a cylindrical hole and double-sided chipbreaker, the component integrates easily into common external holders and boring bars, simplifying stocking and replacement logistics. The insert’s standardised dimensions and hole style mean interchangeability with existing toolholders is straightforward, enabling fast indexation or replacement when the edge reaches its limit. For workshop planning, the predictable geometry supports consistent fixturing and process parameters across comparable turning operations.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The VNMG160408 T9235 insert by Tungaloy is designed primarily for turning steel under lower cutting speeds and less stable conditions, where toughness and chip control are required.

Is the insert reversible and indexable?
Yes, the VNMG160408 T9235 is double-sided and indexable, allowing rotation to a fresh cutting edge to extend usable life.

Which holder types are compatible with this geometry?
Rhombic ISO holders and standard external turning toolholders that accept VNMG‑format inserts and a 16 mm size are compatible with the VNMG160408 T9235.

Can this grade handle interrupted cuts?
The T9235 grade with its robust core and chipbreaker is intended for interrupted cutting conditions and unstable setups, offering improved resistance to chipping.

How does the 35° entering angle affect machining?
A 35° entering angle provides a versatile balance between cutting force distribution and surface finish, making the insert suitable for both roughing and semi-finishing in appropriate steel applications.
