VNMG 160408 T6215 — Indexable turning insert by Tungaloy

A VNMG160408-PM T6215 indexable insert for turning, designed for stainless steel machining under stable to lightly interrupted cutting conditions.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T6215
• Optimised for stainless steel turning
• Rhombic VNMG form with 35° lead angle
• 0.8 mm corner radius for reliable finishes

Durable carbide grade for consistent performance

The CVD-coated T6215 carbide provides a robust combination of wear resistance and edge stability for demanding turning tasks. The CVD-coated surface reduces adhesive wear and improves thermal resilience, which translates into longer tool life and more predictable cutting intervals. With a 0.8 mm corner radius, the insert supports improved workpiece integrity and surface finish while allowing for moderate feed rates. This balance of hardness and coating performance is particularly beneficial when machining stainless steels, where build-up on the cutting edge and rapid wear can compromise productivity.

Clear compatibility guidance to reduce setup time

As an ISO-format indexable plate, compatibility is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness. The rhombic VNMG shape with a 35° lead angle and 0° clearance angle requires a matching external holder or boring bar and the correct clamp or underlay set. Selecting the correct tolerance class and fastening hardware prevents run-out and ensures repeatable geometry across tool changes. Choosing the appropriate holder and securing hardware reduces machine downtime and supports consistent cutting conditions for serial production.

Designed for efficient turning and process stability

The PM chipbreaker geometry is tuned to assist chip control during both external and internal turning, improving process reliability and reducing manual intervention for chip handling. The insert’s cylindrical locating hole simplifies secure clamping in standard VNMG holders and enables fast plate indexing. By combining CVD-coated carbide chemistry with a dedicated chipbreaker, the system promotes higher productivity through fewer interruptions and a reduced need for rework, while maintaining surface quality and dimensional stability on stainless components.
