VNMG160412 T6215 Turning insert by Tungaloy — CVD-coated carbide, 35°

VNMG160412 T6215 is an ISO-format indexable turning insert for external and internal turning, designed for stable to slightly interrupted cutting of rostfreier Stahl

• ISO 160412 rhombic insert, 35° geometry
• CVD-coated carbide T6215 for wear resistance
• Double-sided chipbreaker, cylindrical hole
• 1.2 mm corner radius, 4.76 mm thickness

Increased process stability for demanding turning tasks

The insert is built to deliver consistent cutting performance in production environments where repeatability matters. As an ISO-format indexable insert, compatibility with the toolholder is defined by form, clearance angle (0°), tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; this ensures the insert sits correctly and cutting parameters are reproducible. The 35° cutting geometry and rhombic shape provide a balanced approach between strength and accessibility, allowing secure engagement in external and internal turning. The CVD-coated carbide T6215 grade is optimised for abrasion resistance when machining rostfreier Stahl, reducing flank wear and maintaining dimensional accuracy over longer tool life.

Controlled chips and improved surface finish through optimised chipbreaking

Chip control is a key contributor to cycle time and part quality. The double-sided chipbreaker design and cylindrical locating hole enable stable chip formation under steady and slightly interrupted cuts, which results in fewer reworks and safer chip evacuation. Where surface quality is critical, the insert’s geometry minimises vibrations and supports consistent finishes, while the wear-resistant coating helps to preserve the cutting edge. These features combine to improve productivity and lower unit cost by reducing downtime for frequent insert changes.

Simple integration into existing tooling systems and predictable handling

Integration is straightforward: the system comprises the ISO indexable insert, a matching external holder or boring bar, a shim/clamp set and replacement screws. The insert’s 1.2 mm corner radius and 4.76 mm thickness provide mechanical robustness for typical turning operations, and the rhombic form factor with a cylindrical hole facilitates quick, repeatable clamping. Selection and setup are based on the workpiece material, machining type and machine stability; for rostfreier Stahl under stable conditions the T6215 grade is recommended. If additional process data or holder compatibility checks are required, technical assistance is available via Metav Werkzeuge to ensure the insert performs as intended in the production environment.
