VCMT 160408 T6215 ISO turning insert — CVD-coated carbide, 35° rhombic by Tungaloy

VCMT160408-PS T6215 is an ISO-format turning insert designed for reliable external and internal turning under stable to slightly interrupted conditions.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T6215
• For turning rostfreier Stahl
• Rhombic 35° geometry, 0.8 mm radius
• Cylindrical hole with single-sided countersink

Consistent productivity through wear-resistant cutting grade

The CVD-coated T6215 grade delivers a wear-resistant cutting edge engineered for turning rostfreier Stahl in stable setups. The chemical vapour deposition layer increases abrasion resistance, which translates into longer in-machine life and fewer indexings. For production environments this means higher uptime and lower tooling cost per component; selecting the PS chipbreaker helps control chips and reduces the risk of recutting, especially when machining longer, slender components.

Geometry engineered for repeatable seating and surface finish

The rhombic 35° geometry combined with a 0.8 mm corner radius provides a balance between form strength and accessible cutting geometry for fine finishing and general turning. The insert’s 4.76 mm thickness and ISO form ensure robust clamping in compatible external holders or boring bars, while the cylindrical hole with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°) secures repeatable positioning and reliable torque transfer. These attributes result in consistent surface quality and reduce variability between tool changes.

System integration and application guidance for workshop efficiency

Supplied as an ISO-format plate, the insert is intended to fit standard holders when form, free angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness match. The system concept comprises the indexable insert, an appropriate external holder or boring bar, a backing or clamping kit and replacement screws. For best results, match the PS chipbreaker and T6215 grade to the component material and stability of the setup; in less stable conditions, consider a different chipbreaker or support the workpiece to maintain cutting consistency. The VCMT160408-PS T6215 supports both external and internal turning operations and is suitable for many production scenarios where rostfreier Stahl is machined.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert suitable for?
The VCMT160408-PS T6215 is designed primarily for machining rostfreier Stahl and offers wear resistance and consistent performance in that application.

How does the PS chipbreaker affect machining?
The PS chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation during turning with the VCMT160408-PS, improving evacuation and reducing the risk of entanglement in stable to mildly interrupted cuts.

What clamping features ensure repeatable seating?
Repeatable seating is achieved via the ISO form, the cylindrical hole and the single-sided countersink (40°–60°), which together secure alignment in compatible holders.
