Tungaloy VBMT160408-PS T9115 Insert

High-Efficiency Steel Finishing | 0.8mm Radius Stability | PremiumTec CVD Coating

What is the best carbide grade for stable high-speed steel turning?

The Tungaloy VBMT160408-PS T9115 is an industrial-grade CVD-coated carbide insert engineered for the high-speed finishing of steels. Utilizing Tungaloy’s signature PremiumTec surface technology, the T9115 grade provides an exceptionally smooth coating layer that resists adhesion and crater wear. The 0.8mm corner radius offers a perfect balance between edge strength and surface finish, allowing for higher feed rates and increased productivity without sacrificing part quality. Combined with the -PS (Positive Sharp) chipbreaker, this insert excels in chip control even at low depths of cut, making it a reliable partner for precision profiling and final passes on automotive and general engineering components.

T9115 PremiumTec Coating

The thick Al2O3 CVD coating provides superior thermal protection, allowing for continuous cutting at high speeds where heat would normally degrade the tool edge.

Enhanced Radius Stability

The 0.8mm (1/32") radius is robust enough to handle slight variations in stock allowance while maintaining high-speed stability and preventing micro-chipping.

-PS Precision Chip Control

Designed with a positive rake angle, the -PS breaker reduces cutting forces and ensures clean chip evacuation, crucial for high-quality surface integrity.

Professional Feedback

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Great Stability" - Mark T., Canada
"The 0.8mm radius is very stable for our profiling work. Tool life on T9115 is impressive even at high RPMs."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Clean Chips" - E. Berg, Sweden
"Chip control is excellent with the -PS breaker. No bird-nesting on our final passes."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Authentic Quality" - R. Singh, India
"Beyond Li delivered original Tungaloy stock quickly. Consistent results across every insert in the box."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Fast Delivery" - Carlos M., Mexico
"Fastest shipping I've had for CNC tools. The T9115 grade works perfectly on S45C steel."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Reliable for Production" - Hiroshi K., Japan
"Consistent dimensional control. This 160408 model is very reliable for high-volume finishing."

8. FAQ - Engineering Support

Q: Is T9115 good for interrupted cuts?

A: T9115 is designed for high-speed continuous finishing. For heavy interrupted cuts, T9125 or AH series are typically more stable.

Q: Can I use this for stainless steel?

A: While it can cut stainless, it is optimized for steel (P). For stainless steel (M), we recommend Tungaloy AH600 series grades.

Q: Why choose the 0.8mm radius over 0.4mm?

A: 0.8mm offers higher edge strength and supports faster feed rates, making it more efficient for stable machine setups.

Machinist Tip: Maximizing T9115 Efficiency

To get the best out of the **T9115 grade**, ensure your cutting speed is above 200 m/min. The **PremiumTec** coating thrives on speed; the thermal barrier it creates keeps the carbide substrate tough and protected. **Tungaloy Japan** - Excellence in Engineering.

Technical FAQ & Buying Guide

How do I choose the correct specification?

When choosing CNC cutting tools, check the full model code, dimensions, grade and selected variant before ordering. Do not rely on the product image alone.

How can I check compatibility with my existing setup?

For carbide inserts, tool holders, drills and end mills, compare the mounting dimensions, connection type and manufacturer's specifications with your holder or machine. If you are unsure, share your existing part number and machining application with us before ordering.

What quantity and price unit am I ordering?

Check the product listing for the selling unit, pack quantity and included components. If it is unclear whether the price is per piece or per pack, or whether a tool body and inserts are sold separately, contact us before purchasing.

How should I choose cutting parameters?

Select cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut using the relevant manufacturer's recommendations for your tool model, workpiece material, machine conditions and coolant method. The same settings are not suitable for every product or application.

Are bulk discounts available?

Our automatic quantity discount is 6% off for 2–9 items and 12% off for 10 or more items, based on the total product quantity in the cart. Other offers may not combine with this discount; check the applicable offer conditions.
