VCMT 160402 T9215 ISO turning insert — CVD-coated carbide, 0.2 mm radius (Tungaloy)

A VCMT160402-TSF T9215 is an ISO-standard rhombic turning insert designed for mid-range steel machining, offering a robust CVD-coated carbide grade and an optimised TSF chipbreaker for continuous to lightly interrupted cuts.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9215
• Optimised TSF chipbreaker
• 0.2 mm corner radius for finishing
• ISO rhombic insert, 4.76 mm thick

Increase output with durable CVD-coated carbide

The CVD-coated carbide composition of this insert combines wear resistance with sufficient toughness to sustain productive machining cycles. Grade T9215 is specified for medium steel applications and balances life expectancy with fracture protection; this results in fewer tool changes and more predictable process windows. By using a grade suited to steady cutting conditions, tool life variability is reduced and cycle times become more consistent, which supports improved shop-floor efficiency.

Reliable fit and repeatable clamping in ISO systems

Thanks to the ISO format and defined geometry, the insert guarantees repeatable seating and clamping when matched to a suitable external holder. The rhombic form, 7° clearance and standard ISO designation ensure that form, clearance, tolerance class, fixing and thickness match common holders. This predictability simplifies tool inventory and reduces setup time, since dimensional conformity governs secure fastening, correct rake relationships and consistent cutting performance across batches.

Controlled chips and improved surface integrity

The integrated TSF chipbreaker and the 0.2 mm corner radius support stable chip formation and improved surface finish for finishing and medium-depth cuts. The insert’s geometry, including a 35° approach angle, promotes even load distribution and helps to avoid edge chipping in continuous or lightly interrupted operations. When combined with a correctly chosen holder and clamping set, the result is consistent part quality and lower rework rates in turning operations.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The VCMT160402-TSF T9215 insert is optimised for medium-strength steel machining; the CVD-coated T9215 grade delivers wear resistance and fracture protection in these materials.

Is this insert compatible with standard ISO holders?
Yes. The insert follows the ISO designation 160402 and is compatible with holders that match form, clearance, tolerance, fixing method, size and thickness.

Which chipbreaker is integrated and what does it achieve?
The integrated TSF chipbreaker is designed for controlled chip formation and reliable evacuation during continuous and lightly interrupted turning, supporting improved surface finish.

How does the 0.2 mm corner radius affect the finish?
A 0.2 mm corner radius reduces micro-chipping risk while promoting a smoother surface finish in finishing and semi-finishing passes.

What is included when ordering this item?
The article is supplied as an ISO turning insert; a matching external holder, underlay/clamping set and screws are required and are selected separately to complete the tooling system.
