VNMG160412 T9215 VNMG Turning Insert for Turning (Tungaloy)

VNMG160412 T9215 is an ISO-standard indexable turning insert designed for external and internal turning in medium steel, combining CVD-coated carbide performance with a stable geometry.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9215 for medium steel
• Rhombic VNMG form with 35° approach angle
• 1.2 mm corner radius for edge strength
• Double-sided chipbreaker; cylindrical hole for secure fixing

High wear resistance that boosts productivity

The VNMG160412 T9215 insert uses a CVD-coated carbide substrate engineered as a reliable choice for mid-range steel machining. The T9215 grade delivers high wear resistance together with good fracture toughness, which enables longer tool life under continuous and slightly interrupted cuts. This combination reduces tool changes and downtime, resulting in a measurable increase in process efficiency and component throughput for repetitive turning tasks.

Stable clamping and ISO compatibility for repeatable finishes

Designed as part of the ISO-standard insert family, the rhombic VNMG geometry and specified dimensions ensure compatibility with matching holders and boring bars when the form, free angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness are aligned. The insert’s cylindrical hole and standard thickness support secure clamping, which reduces vibration and promotes consistent surface quality. Specifying the correct holder and clamping kit therefore directly improves repeatability and reduces scrap rates.

Controlled chip formation for external and internal turning

The double-sided chipbreaker delivers predictable chip control across a range of feeds and depths of cut, while the 1.2 mm corner radius balances edge strength with dimensional accuracy. The insert’s 4.76 mm thickness and 16 mm inscribed size provide a robust platform for turning operations that demand stability. As part of a complete system—ISO insert, appropriate external holder or boring bar, shim/clamp set and spare fixing screws—the geometry and chip control support higher material removal rates with reduced risk of edge chipping.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert intended for?
The VNMG160412 T9215 insert is optimised for medium steel machining; the T9215 CVD-coated carbide balances wear resistance and toughness for continuous to light interrupted turning.

How is the insert secured in the holder?
The insert features a cylindrical hole and standard ISO dimensions; securing requires a compatible holder and clamping kit matched to the VNMG form, thickness and tolerance class.

What cutting geometry and edge radius does it offer?
The rhombic VNMG geometry provides a 35° approach angle and a 1.2 mm corner radius, offering a compromise between edge strength and finish for turning operations.

Can this insert be used for both external and internal turning?
Yes, the insert is suitable for external and internal turning when combined with the appropriate external holder or boring bar and the correct clamping components.
