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

VCMT160402-TM T9215 is an ISO‑standard rhombic turning insert engineered for medium‑steel external and internal turning with a TM chipbreaker for productive machining

• CVD‑coated carbide grade T9215
• 0.2 mm corner radius for fine finishes
• Rhombic 16 mm plate, 35° cutting angle
• TM chipbreaker for medium steel productivity

Consistent productivity through wear‑resistant grade and coating

The combination of a CVD‑coated surface and the T9215 carbide grade provides a clear performance advantage where repeatability and tool life matter. The coating creates a hard, wear‑resistant barrier while the substrate maintains fracture resistance, which translates into steadier cutting forces and fewer tool changes during continuous to lightly interrupted cuts. This stability supports higher feed rates and longer uninterrupted production runs, improving throughput without compromising component quality.

Precision geometry for predictable results and simple integration

Designed to the ISO 160402 designation, the insert’s rhombic form, 35° cutting angle and 7° clearance angle ensure predictable engagement in standard ISO holders. The 0.2 mm corner radius helps to achieve improved surface finish on turned components while limiting cutting edge vulnerability in moderate depths of cut. The insert features a cylindrical hole with a single‑side countersink (40°–60°) for secure clamping in compatible adapters. Compatibility is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness, so integration into existing tool systems is straightforward when matched correctly.

System‑level reliability and application guidance

The recommended system consists of the ISO insert together with a matching external holder or boring bar, an underlay/clamping kit and replacement screws, ensuring correct seat and repeatability. The TM chipbreaker is optimised for medium‑steel cutting, promoting controlled chip formation and evacuation under stable cutting conditions. For changeable production environments or mixed workpiece geometries, selecting the appropriate chipbreaker and grade combination will reduce unplanned stops and simplify tool management. For further guidance on choosing holder geometry or cutting parameters, Metav Werkzeuge’s technical advisers can provide precise recommendations based on the specific application.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The T9215‑grade insert is aimed at medium‑steel machining; the VCMT160402‑TM T9215 handles continuous to lightly interrupted cuts with good wear resistance and fracture toughness.

Which toolholders are compatible with this insert?
Compatibility requires holders that match the insert form, clearance angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness; the ISO‑160402 designation facilitates selection of appropriate external holders or boring bars.

What does the T9215 designation mean for performance?
T9215 indicates a CVD‑coated carbide grade that balances high wear resistance with sufficient toughness for productive machining of medium steels, reducing flank wear and maintaining edge stability.

How does the TM chipbreaker affect machining?
The TM chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation during turning of medium‑grade steels, aiding surface finish and reducing risk of chip entanglement in stable cutting conditions.

How can the part be identified for reordering?
Use the article number 6951590, the SKU 6951590‑Tungaloy or the manufacturer SKU TUN6951590 to re‑order the specified insert.
