VNMA 160408 T5115 Wendeplatten - Tungaloy

Benefit from a reliable combination of CVD-coated carbide performance and standard ISO compatibility for uninterrupted turning operations; the universal T5115 grade delivers a balanced mix of wear resistance and edge stability for cast-iron work, while Metav Werkzeuge can advise on holder pairing and availability.

VNMA 160408 T5115 ISO turning insert — CVD-coated carbide, 0.8 mm radius — Tungaloy

VNMA 160408 T5115 is an ISO-standard rhombic turning insert designed for general turning tasks on cast iron, suitable for both external and internal operations where a universal grade and consistent edge behaviour are required.

• ISO rhombic insert, compatible with standard holders
• CVD-coated carbide grade T5115 for cast iron
• 0.8 mm corner radius for consistent edge strength
• 4.76 mm thickness with cylindrical mounting hole

Consistent cutting performance with a universal CVD-coated grade

The CVD-coated T5115 grade is formulated as a universal solution for machining cast iron, offering a balanced combination of wear resistance and cutting-edge stability that extends tool life and reduces downtime. The CVD layer enhances temperature resistance and abrasion control, which helps maintain a consistent profile on the cutting edge during extended runs. For production environments seeking dependable cycle times, this insert provides predictable wear behaviour, reducing the need for frequent tool changes and supporting steady output quality.

Precise geometry for secure mounting and predictable results

The insert’s rhombic geometry and a fixed 0° clearance are compatible with ISO toolholder systems when matched for form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness. The nominal thickness of 4.76 mm and the cylindrical mounting hole ensure reliable clamping and repeatable positioning, which are critical for maintaining concentricity and achieving a consistent surface finish. Standardised dimensions simplify inventory and replacement planning, so spares and holder compatibility become straightforward to manage in a workshop setting.

Application-focused advantages and chip control considerations

Prepared primarily for external and internal turning, this indexable insert is supplied without a chipbreaker, allowing process engineers to select a chipformer tailored to the specific material grade and cutting conditions. For cast-iron turning, the universal nature of the grade supports a wide range of cutting parameters; however, optimising feed, depth of cut and the selected chip control geometry will determine surface finish and swarf behaviour. Choosing an appropriate holder and coolant strategy improves chip evacuation and prolongs the effective tool life of the insert.

System integration, traceability and procurement details

As part of an ISO-indexed system, the insert operates within a set-up consisting of a matching holder or boring bar, correct clamping kit and replacement screws. Traceability is supported by the manufacturer item identifications and the listed SKU, which facilitates reordering and batch control in production procurement. For complex set-ups or mixed-material production runs, Metav Werkzeuge can provide guidance on holder selection, optimal cutting data and stocking recommendations to ensure efficient use of the insert across turning operations.
