VNMG160408-PM T9225 ISO turning insert by Tungaloy — CVD-coated carbide, 0.8 mm radius

The VNMG160408-PM T9225 is an ISO rhombic indexable turning insert engineered for medium to heavy steel turning, delivering a balance of toughness and wear resistance for variable engagement conditions.

• VNMG160408-PM T9225 ISO rhombic insert
• CVD-coated carbide for robust steel machining
• 0.8 mm corner radius for stable cutting
• 35° lead angle with cylindrical mounting hole

Greater process reliability under variable cutting conditions

The CVD-coated T9225 grade combines toughness with wear resistance to maintain cutting-edge stability during moderately interrupted cuts. As a result, production quality becomes more consistent and downtimes are reduced. The rhombic geometry and the 35° lead angle provide a controlled cutting action, which helps to lower vibration and extend service intervals for holders and toolposts. This leads to measurable efficiency gains on batch and single-piece turning operations.

Improved chip control and predictable surface finish

Equipped with the PM chipbreaker, this insert promotes regular chip formation across a range of depths of cut and feed rates. Predictable chip shape decreases the risk of tool damage and workpiece rework while supporting faster throughput. The combination of chip geometry and CVD-coated carbide enhances surface integrity when machining medium to heavy steel, translating into fewer secondary operations and a more favourable cost-per-part metric.

Seamless integration into ISO tool systems for flexible tooling

Designed to ISO standards, the insert fits conventional external holders or boring bars where compatibility is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, attachment method, size and thickness. The central cylindrical mounting hole ensures reliable fixation and straightforward indexability, enabling rapid tool changes and minimal setup time. Such standardisation simplifies tooling inventory and supports leaner workshop practices.

Material versatility and targeted application benefits

This carbide grade is aimed primarily at steel turning and offers robustness when cutting conditions fluctuate; the insert is a universal choice when greater toughness is required. The 0.8 mm corner radius offers a compromise between edge strength and the ability to produce defined radii on the workpiece, making the insert suitable for both external profiling and light finishing passes. For operations demanding higher abrasion resistance or for non-ferrous alloys, selection of a different grade should be considered.
