VCMT 160402 T9215 turning insert (rhombic, 35°) by Tungaloy

The VCMT 160402 T9215 is an ISO-standard turning insert designed for efficient external and internal turning in medium steel, combining a CVD-coated carbide grade with a PS chipbreaker for reliable metal removal.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9215
• Optimised for medium steel machining
• Rhombic insert with 35° lead angle
• Corner radius 0.2 mm for fine profiles
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

Consistent productivity through optimised grade and coating

The CVD-coated carbide T9215 offers a balance of wear resistance and fracture toughness, making it particularly suited to sustained metal removal in medium steel. The coating reduces flank wear under continuous or slightly interrupted cuts, which supports longer tool life and fewer index changes. Choosing a grade that resists abrasive wear while maintaining edge strength results in steady cycle times and predictable tool performance, important for production environments where process reliability matters.

Precise geometry and secure mounting for repeatable results

Compatibility with holders depends on geometry, clearance and clamping; the insert’s rhombic shape, 35° lead angle and 7° clearance angle ensure stable engagement and favourable cutting forces. The 0.2 mm corner radius provides a defined cutting edge for fine-profile finishes while limiting cutting forces in lighter passes. The cylindrical hole with one-sided countersink (40°–60°) guarantees secure clamping and repeatable seating in ISO-compatible toolholders. With a plate thickness of 4.76 mm and a nominal size 16, the insert fits standard ISO turning systems and supports consistent positioning across tool changes.

Application guidance for machining and toolset integration

The PS chipbreaker is tailored to chip control in medium steel and performs best with continuous to slightly interrupted cuts; select a matching external holder or boring bar and include an appropriate shim and clamping set for maximum stability. For roughing, favour slightly higher feeds with robust clamping; for finishing, reduce feed to exploit the 0.2 mm radius for surface quality. The insert integrates into a system comprising an ISO turning insert, the matching external holder or boring bar, a shim/clamping set and spare screws to ensure uninterrupted production. The result is a pragmatic combination of productivity and operational reliability with low setup complexity.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert intended for?
The VCMT160402-PS T9215 insert is optimised for medium steel machining; the CVD-coated carbide grade provides wear resistance and toughness suited to that material class.

Is the insert compatible with standard ISO toolholders?
Yes, the insert follows ISO geometry (160402) and is compatible with holders that match the shape, clearance angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness.

What advantages does the PS chipbreaker provide?
The PS chipbreaker improves chip control in medium steel, promoting consistent chip formation and evacuation under continuous to slightly interrupted cutting conditions.

How does the 0.2 mm corner radius affect finishing?
A 0.2 mm radius balances edge strength with surface finish capability; it supports finer profiles and improved surface integrity when feed is reduced for finishing passes.

What components are needed for a complete tool system?
A complete setup requires an ISO-compatible external holder or boring bar, the matching shim/clamping set and spare screws to ensure secure mounting and repeatable positioning of the insert.
