VNMG160408-PS T9215 — VNMG 160408 ISO turning insert for turning, Tungaloy

VNMG160408-PS T9215 is an ISO-standard indexable turning insert designed for external and internal turning, optimised for medium-steel machining with a CVD-coated carbide grade for extended wear resistance.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9215 for steel machining
• ISO VNMG 160408 rhombic insert, secure compatibility
• 0.8 mm nose radius for controlled cutting results
• Cylindrical hole for repeatable, secure clamping

Productivity through a balance of wear resistance and toughness

The combination of a CVD-coated surface with a robust carbide substrate in grade T9215 delivers a measured balance between wear resistance and fracture toughness. This makes the insert particularly suited to continuous and slightly interrupted cuts in medium-strength steel, enabling longer tool life and fewer tool changes. Because the insert conforms to the ISO geometry, the fit to a compatible toolholder depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness — all of which are industry-standard parameters that support predictable machining results and process planning.

Geometry and chip control that improve surface finish and stability

The rhombic insert form and a 0.8 mm corner radius provide a controlled contact area that helps achieve consistent surface quality while maintaining cutting-edge strength. The PS chipbreaker is optimised for medium-steel applications, supporting effective chip segmentation and evacuation which reduces built-up edge and improves process stability. With a clearance angle of 0° and a specified approach angle of 35°, the insert supports neutral cutting forces in many turning setups, helping to reduce vibration and deliver repeatable dimensional accuracy in both external and internal turning operations.

System integration, handling and application advice

This indexable insert forms part of a machining system: ISO turning insert, a matching external holder or boring bar, a shim/clamp set and replacement fixing screws. Such a system approach simplifies tool management and replacement logistics on the shop floor. The insert’s cylindrical hole assures axial location and secure clamping for repeatable seating. For workshops aiming to increase throughput, the combination of grade T9215 and appropriate holder stiffness yields a cost-effective route to higher productivity without sacrificing process reliability. If additional technical data is required, Metav Werkzeuge can provide matching holder recommendations and setup guidelines.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The VNMG160408-PS T9215 insert is specified for medium-steel machining; the CVD-coated carbide grade T9215 offers wear resistance and fracture toughness for such applications.

Can the insert be used for both external and internal turning?
Yes, the ISO VNMG geometry and the PS chipbreaker make the insert suitable for external and internal turning when combined with an appropriate holder or boring bar.

How does the 0.8 mm radius affect machining performance?
A 0.8 mm corner radius offers a balance between a robust cutting edge and the ability to produce a stable surface finish, helping to absorb cutting loads and reduce chatter on many setups.

What does the cylindrical hole provide during clamping?
The cylindrical hole ensures positive axial location and repeatable seating in the clamping system, improving positional accuracy and simplifying insert indexing.

Is the chipbreaker suited to interrupted cuts?
The PS chipbreaker is designed for controlled chip formation in continuous to slightly interrupted cuts commonly encountered in medium-steel turning.
