VCMT160404-PSS T6215 ISO turning insert for Turning — Tungaloy

The VCMT160404-PSS T6215 is an ISO‑standard rhombic insert developed for stable machining of rostfreier Stahl in external and internal turning operations.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T6215
• Optimised PSS chipbreaker geometry
• Rhombic 16 mm size, 7° clearance
• Central hole with 40°–60° countersink

Improved tool life and wear resistance for rostfreier Stahl machining

The combination of a CVD‑coated carbide substrate and the T6215 wear‑resistant grade provides extended tool life under stable to lightly interrupted cutting conditions. The coating reduces adhesive wear and helps maintain a sharp cutting edge, so chip formation remains stable and surface quality is preserved over longer runs. As a result, changeover frequency is reduced and process interruptions are minimised, supporting a smoother production flow and predictable cycle times.

Consistent geometry and clamping for repeatable part quality

Featuring a rhombic 16 mm format with a 0.4 mm corner radius and 7° clearance, the insert is manufactured to ISO tolerances to ensure compatibility with standard holders. The central hole with a cylindrical seat and one‑sided countersink (40°–60°) secures repeatable clamping and positional accuracy when used with the correct clamping kit and screws. This precise form fit reduces micro‑movement during cutting, contributing to improved surface finish and dimensional repeatability on turned components.

Process guidance: when to choose this insert and expected gains

Designed for turning applications, the plate with PSS chipbreaker is best selected according to workpiece stability, machining strategy and material batch; it performs particularly well on rostfreier Stahl under steady cuts. The ISO format allows rapid exchange and indexing, so productivity benefits are achieved without complex re‑tooling. Economically, fewer tool changes and stable cutting forces translate into lower unit costs and higher machine availability, making the insert suitable for both serial production and batch runs.

FAQ

What machining tasks is this insert intended for? The VCMT160404-PSS T6215 insert (Tungaloy, SKU 6877342-Tungaloy) is intended for external and internal turning, especially when machining rostfreier Stahl under stable to slightly interrupted conditions.

Which chipbreaker and grade are supplied with this insert? This item is supplied with the PSS chipbreaker and the CVD‑coated T6215 grade, chosen to provide wear resistance and improved chip control in turning operations.

How is the insert retained in the holder? Retention is achieved via the central cylindrical hole and one‑sided countersink (40°–60°); correct clamping requires compatible holders and a matching clamp/screw set to secure positional accuracy.

Is this insert compatible with ISO turning holders? Yes; the plate follows ISO geometry (VCMT 160404), so compatibility depends on holder form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, insert size and thickness.
