SNMG 120416 T9225 ISO turning insert by Tungaloy — CVD-coated carbide, square 90°

The SNMG120416 T9225 Tungaloy insert is an ISO‑standard, square, double‑sided indexable insert designed for external and internal turning, optimised for medium to heavy steel machining where toughness and reliable chip control are required.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9225
• Robust universal grade for steel machining
• Double-sided chipbreaker, square 90° shape
• Cylindrical hole for secure clamping

Consistent cutting performance for demanding steel work

The CVD‑coated carbide of grade T9225 provides a balanced combination of wear resistance and toughness, making it suitable for variable engagement and slightly interrupted cuts in steel. The coating improves thermal stability and reduces flank wear, which translates into longer tool life under medium‑to‑heavy turning conditions. This results in stable production cycles and fewer insert changes, supporting continuous machining processes with predictable outcomes.

Secure seating and repeatable indexing for accurate turning

Designed to the ISO standard, the insert’s square 90° form and cylindrical hole guarantee straightforward mechanical compatibility with a wide range of holders and boring bars when matched by form, clearance angle and tolerance class. The standardised geometry ensures repeatable seating and simple indexing, which helps maintain consistent workpiece dimensions across batches and reduces setup time during tool changes.

Effective chip control and edge security where it matters

The double‑sided chipbreaker and 1.6 mm corner radius combine to deliver robust chip formation and controlled evacuation when machining steel. The chipformer geometry is selected to balance shear stability and surface finish: a larger radius improves edge strength for heavier cuts, while the chipbreaker design aids safe chip flow under varying cut conditions. This means fewer interruptions for chip management and a more secure cutting edge during tougher cuts.

Practical handling, grade selection and cost efficiency

Manufactured from solid carbide and with a plate thickness of 4.76 mm, the insert offers mechanical rigidity for demanding turning operations while remaining easy to index and replace. The universal character of the T9225 grade simplifies inventory by covering a broad range of steel types and operating conditions, reducing the need for multiple specialised grades. Choosing this insert supports productive machining with an emphasis on process stability and predictable tool life.
