VCMT 160402 T9225 indexable turning insert — CVD-coated carbide, TSF chipbreaker (Tungaloy)

The VCMT160402-TSF T9225 is an ISO-form indexable turning insert designed for medium to heavy steel turning, offering a balance of toughness and wear resistance for varied engagement conditions.

• CVD-coated carbide T9225 for toughness and wear resistance
• TSF chipbreaker for controlled chips and interrupted cuts
• ISO 160402 rhombic geometry, 7° relief, 0.2 mm radius
• Cylindrical hole with single-sided countersink (40°–60°)

Consistent performance and economical productivity for steel turning

The CVD-coated carbide grade T9225 delivers a combination of wear resistance and toughness that is optimised for medium to heavy steel machining. By using a robust cutting grade, the insert sustains slightly interrupted cuts and variable engagement without rapid edge failure, which reduces downtime and tool changes. The result is improved cycle stability and predictable tool life, supporting continuous production runs and a measurable increase in throughput. Compatibility with standard holders is governed by form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness, ensuring straightforward integration into existing tool systems.

Precise geometry that enhances clamping stability and repeatability

The insert’s ISO 160402 rhombic form, 7° relief and 0.2 mm corner radius are engineered for reliable seating and repeatable positioning in clamped holders and boring bars. A plate thickness of 4.76 mm and the specified hole and countersink design permit consistent clamp engagement, reducing micro-movement under load and improving surface finish on the workpiece. These geometric details translate directly into fewer set-up adjustments, more consistent dimensional accuracy and lower scrap rates—benefits that are particularly valuable in batch production or when tight tolerances are required.

Controlled chip formation for safer, cleaner machining

The TSF chipbreaker is tailored for secure chip control across a range of cutting parameters, producing manageable chip forms even in less stable cutting conditions. That control reduces the risk of entanglement and tool damage, shortens auxiliary cleaning tasks and contributes to a safer shop-floor environment. Use in both external and internal turning applications is supported, provided the correct holder and stable set-up are selected. Choosing matching chipbreaker and grade according to workpiece material and process stability ensures optimal performance and extends cutting edge life.

System advice and practical selection guidance

This insert is intended to be used as part of an ISO insert system comprising the indexable plate, a compatible external holder or boring bar, an underlay/clamping kit and replacement screws. Select the TSF chipbreaker and T9225 grade when operations demand a balance of wear resistance and toughness; for very light finishing or non-ferrous materials, alternative grades and geometries may be more appropriate. The article is supplied with the standard rhombic geometry and a cylindrical locating hole with a one-sided countersink (40°–60°), which facilitates mounting in widely used clamping systems. For technical clarifications or assistance in choosing the correct holder and set-up parameters, consult the product documentation or our technical team.
