VNMG160412 T9215 – VNMG turning insert (ISO 160412) by Tungaloy, CVD-coated cemented carbide

A VNMG160412 T9215 indexable turning insert engineered for external and internal turning, optimised for medium steel machining with a robust chip control solution.

• CVD-coated cemented carbide grade T9215
• ISO‑standard VNMG160412 geometry
• Double-sided chipbreaker for reliable chips
• 1.2 mm corner radius, 35° lead angle

Productivity through a proven ISO geometry

The VNMG format follows ISO-standard geometry, ensuring predictable seating and repeatable tool offsets when paired with compatible holders. The rhombic shape and 35° lead angle deliver a balance between cutting edge strength and access in shoulder and profile turning, which supports stable cutting conditions and reduces tool change downtime. Compatibility depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness; this standardised approach simplifies inventory and minimises setup errors on the shop floor.

Extended tool life with the T9215 coating system

The T9215 grade combines a CVD-coated surface with a tough cemented carbide substrate to deliver both wear resistance and fracture toughness. This makes the insert a first choice for medium steel work, enabling productive cutting at continuous to slightly interrupted cuts. The double-sided chipbreaker improves chip control and reduces heat concentration at the cutting edge; the corner radius 1.2 mm contributes to edge strength and consistent surface finish while permitting moderate feeds without sacrificing component quality.

Seamless integration and application guidance

Integration into a machining system requires the insert, a suitable outer holder or boring bar, a backplate/clamp set and replacement screws; the cylindrical hole ensures secure clamping. For best results, match the chipbreaker and grade to the material, operation and machine rigidity: select a more robust chipformer and conservative parameters for interrupted cuts, or exploit the grade's productivity in stable continuous turning of steel. For complex requirements or uncertain fit, Metav Werkzeuge's technical advisors can provide tailored recommendations and machining parameter guidance.
