Why It’s a Best Seller

  • Long Tool Life: CVD Al₂O₃ coating provides robust protection against flank and crater wear at elevated cutting speeds. Less frequent insert changes keep your machines running longer. 

  • Stable Performance: TM chipbreaker ensures consistent chip control, minimizing edge chipping and maintaining surface finish quality over extended runs.

  • High Wear & Heat Resistance: T9200 series excels in steel turning with heat resistance — perfect for shops pushing higher spindle speeds.

🏭 Application Industries

Frequently Asked Questions

It’s designed for ISO P20-P30 steels — mild to medium alloy steels — offering excellent wear resistance in high-speed turning.

T9125 features a multi-layer CVD coating with thick Al₂O₃, optimized for heat resistance and crater wear protection at elevated speeds.

The TM chipbreaker provides controlled, uniform chip formation, reducing risk of chattering, improving safety, and ensuring smoother surface finish.

Yes — its robust substrate and coating give it good toughness. It’s best in finishing to medium-depth cuts, but with proper toolholder stability it handles interruptions well.

TNMG160408-TM T9125 is specified as "without coolant supply" from the manufacturer, meaning it performs well under dry or minimal-coolant conditions.
