VBMT 160404 T6215 – ISO turning insert, CVD-coated TSF chipbreaker (Tungaloy)

The VBMT160404-TSF T6215 is an ISO rhombic indexable insert optimised for turning rostfreier Stahl under stable to lightly interrupted cutting conditions.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T6215
• TSF chipbreaker for controlled chips
• 0.4 mm corner radius for flexible use
• ISO rhombic plate, 4.76 mm thickness

Higher productivity through wear-resistant coating and consistent edge life

The CVD-coated carbide T6215 offers a marked increase in wear resistance compared with uncoated grades, which translates into longer periods between indexings and fewer tool changes. By combining a robust coating with a stable cutting geometry, the insert supports sustained cutting speeds and predictable tool performance when machining rostfreier Stahl, reducing unplanned downtime. The coating process (chemical vapour deposition) deposits thin, adherent layers that protect the cutting edge against abrasive and adhesive wear while preserving the substrate toughness.

Reduced setup complexity and broad holder compatibility

Designed to ISO dimensions, the rhombic plate form with a cylindrical hole and one-sided countersink enables straightforward mounting in standard external holders and boring bars. Compatibility is determined by plate form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening and thickness; using ISO-standard inserts simplifies inventory and ensures interchangeability across machines. The insert’s 5° clearance angle, 35° lead angle and standardised thickness of 4.76 mm help maintain stable geometries and predictable cutting forces, which aids in achieving consistent surface quality and repeatable results.

Controlled chips and reliable surface finish for demanding turning tasks

The integrated TSF chipbreaker is tuned for controlled segmentation and evacuation during both external and internal turning operations, which improves process stability in continuous and slightly interrupted cuts. Combined with a 0.4 mm corner radius, the geometry balances edge robustness and fine finishing capability, making the grade suitable for a wide range of turning applications. The result is fewer secondary operations, lower scrap rates and a more economical production flow—key factors when productivity and reproducibility matter most.
