CNMG160612 AH8015 CNMG 160612 Turning insert by Tungaloy — PVD-coated carbide, rhombic 80° geometry

CNMG160612 AH8015 is a precision indexable turning insert designed for general-purpose and heat-resistant-alloy turning applications

• ISO-compatible CNMG geometry
• PVD-coated carbide AH8015 grade
• Double-sided chipbreaker for versatility
• 1.2 mm corner radius, 80° rhombic shape

High productivity on heat-resistant alloys through balanced grade design

The PVD-coated carbide of this insert delivers a balance between wear resistance and cutting-edge stability, making it a practical first choice for the machining of heat-resistant alloys. The coating improves thermal resistance and adhesion at the cutting edge, which reduces flank wear under elevated temperatures. With a corner radius of 1.2 mm and a robust edge form, the geometry supports stable chip formation and predictable tool life, lowering the cost per cutting edge in series production.

Assured holder compatibility and secure mounting for stable cuts

Compatibility with toolholders follows the ISO system: the fit depends on the insert form, relief angle (0°), tolerance class, fastening method, size and 6.35 mm thickness. The rhombic CNMG shape with a cylindrical hole ensures secure clamping in standard CNMG seats and simplifies index changes. This mechanical stability, combined with the 80° included angle, provides rigidity during heavier roughing passes while still permitting fine finishing, so machining setups remain both predictable and repeatable.

Versatile chip control and economical edge usage

The double-sided chipbreaker provides two usable cutting edges per side, extending effective life and reducing tooling costs. Selecting the correct chipbreaker style and the AH8015 grade according to workpiece material and machine stability optimises surface finish and cycle time. The geometry and coating together promote consistent chip flow and less edge chipping, which supports higher uptime and fewer in-process interruptions — an advantage for both job shops and production lines seeking process reliability.
