• Robust universal grade for medium–heavy steel
• TSF chipbreaker for interrupted cuts
• Rhombic 16 size, 35° cutting angle

Reliable performance for medium‑to‑heavy steel turning

The T9225 grade is a CVD‑coated carbide developed for robust, universal performance in medium‑to‑heavy steel machining. Its composition prioritises toughness to withstand varying engagement conditions and mildly interrupted cuts, which reduces the risk of flank chipping under less stable setups. As a consequence, productivity remains consistent even when operating across batches with differing stability, while tool life is extended compared with uncoated grades. The result is dependable component quality in long production runs and fewer tool changes during shift work.

ISO compatibility simplifies tooling selection and setup

The insert conforms to the ISO plate family and is dimensioned to match holders by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, attachment method, size and thickness. Specifying an ISO plate like this one reduces uncertainty when selecting a suitable external holder or boring bar: simply match the plate designation and geometry to the clamping system. This standardisation speeds up tool procurement and makes toolroom logistics more predictable, since replacement plates fit the same families of holders across machines.

Stable cutting edge and effective chip control

Equipped with the TSF chipbreaker and a 0.2 mm corner radius, the geometry promotes reliable chip formation and evacuation, particularly in steels where chips tend to be long or stringy. The plate’s 35° cutting angle and rhombic form provide a favourable rake and approach for both finishing and light roughing passes, balancing surface finish and cutting forces. For slightly interrupted operations, the combination of the T9225 grade and TSF chip control lowers the chance of unexpected edge damage and contributes to a consistent workpiece finish.

System advice and typical applications

This plate is intended for use in an ISO turning system comprising an indexable insert, a compatible external holder or boring bar, and the matching shim/clamp set with replacement screws. Typical applications include external and internal turning of steel components where medium to heavy cuts are required. Select the TSF chipbreaker and T9225 grade when operations call for higher toughness and reliable chip control rather than maximum economy on uninterrupted finishing passes. The insert’s rhombic form and cylindrical hole facilitate secure clamping and simple orientation in most standard holders.
