VBMT110308-TM T6215 — ISO turning insert for Turning by Tungaloy

VBMT110308-TM T6215 is an ISO rhombic turning insert designed for external and internal turning, optimised for stable to slightly interrupted machining of stainless steels

• CVD-coated carbide grade T6215
• Rhombic ISO insert, 35° cutting angle
• Corner radius 0.8 mm for versatile finishing
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

Precision and wear resistance for reliable productivity

The CVD-coated carbide composition and the T6215 grade deliver a balanced combination of wear resistance and cutting-edge toughness that supports consistent workpiece quality. The CVD process forms a hard, wear-resistant layer that helps reduce flank and crater wear under typical turning conditions; this translates into fewer tool changes and more uninterrupted production time. By selecting the right chipbreaker and matching the insert geometry to machine rigidity, shops can achieve repeatable surface finish and dimensional stability with lower overall tooling costs.

Designed for ISO compatibility and flexible application

Built to ISO standards, this rhombic indexable insert features a 35° cutting angle, a 0.8 mm corner radius and a 3.18 mm thickness that make it suitable for both finishing and light semi-finishing passes. The cylindrical hole with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°) ensures secure mounting in standard holders while the TM chipbreaker supports controlled chip formation when machining stainless steels. The insert’s geometry and tolerances determine holder compatibility, so choosing the correct clamping set and screw ensures vibration-free seating and consistent cutting forces.

Economic machining and process stability

Selecting a wear-resistant grade like T6215 reduces scrap rates and machine downtime by extending tool life under stable cutting conditions. The combination of grade, chipbreaker and insert geometry aids chip control and reduces heat concentration at the cutting edge, which improves surface integrity and lowers rework. For production environments prioritising throughput and consistent results, this insert supports a cost-effective balance between performance and tool replacement intervals, contributing to predictable process outcomes and fewer unplanned interruptions.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The VBMT110308-TM T6215 insert is designed primarily for machining stainless steels under stable to lightly interrupted conditions and performs well where wear resistance is required.

How does the CVD coating benefit machining?
The CVD-coated carbide layer on the T6215 grade improves wear resistance and reduces flank and crater wear, supporting longer cutting times and more consistent surface finish with the VBMT110308-TM insert.

Which chipbreaker should be chosen for stainless steel turning?
The TM chipbreaker supplied with the VBMT110308-TM is optimised for controlled chip formation when turning stainless steels; selection may be adjusted depending on material hardness and machining stability.

Is the insert compatible with standard ISO holders?
Yes, the insert follows ISO geometry; compatibility depends on form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening type, size and thickness — ensure the holder matches the insert’s specifications.

What is the significance of the 0.8 mm corner radius?
A 0.8 mm corner radius offers a balance between strength and ability to achieve fine surface finishes, suitable for finishing and light semi-finishing passes with stable setups.
