VCMT160402-TM T6215 — ISO turning insert VCMT 160402 T6215 for turning, Tungaloy

The VCMT160402-TM T6215 is an ISO-standard rhombic turning insert designed for external and internal turning, optimised for machining rostfreier Stahl under stable to slightly interrupted cutting conditions.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T6215 for rostfreier Stahl
• Rhombic VCMT geometry with 35° cutting angle
• 0.2 mm corner radius for improved surface finish

Consistent wear resistance and predictable tool life

The CVD-coated carbide in grade T6215 offers high wear resistance that extends tool life, particularly when machining rostfreier Stahl. The coating reduces flank wear and improves thermal stability, which means longer uninterrupted production runs and fewer insert changes. As an ISO turning insert, compatibility with standard holders is achieved through matching form, relief angle and thickness, allowing seamless integration into established tool systems and predictable process windows.

Controlled chip formation and improved surface quality

The TM chipbreaker combined with the 0.2 mm corner radius is engineered for stable chip control and fine finishing in turning operations. The rhombic geometry with a 35° cutting edge promotes a balance between cutting forces and surface integrity, reducing vibration and minimising the need for subsequent finishing. Where dimensional tolerance and surface appearance are critical, this insert delivers a reliable combination of consistent cutting and controlled chip flow, reducing rework and increasing downstream throughput.

Straightforward mounting and robust clamping for secure production

The insert’s rhombic form (VCMT) and a 4.76 mm plate thickness provide mechanical rigidity in the holder, while the cylindrical hole with a one-sided countersink (40°–60°) ensures reproducible clamping and quick indexability. The ISO-standard specification supports interchangeability across compatible holders and toolposts, simplifying inventory and tool management. With this design and the carbide substrate, the insert supports steady machining even in semi-stable interrupted cuts, helping to maintain cycle times and part quality.
