VCMT 160408 AH8015 – Rhombic ISO turning insert for external and internal turning, Tungaloy

The VCMT160408‑PSF AH8015 is an ISO‑standard rhombic turning insert designed for external and internal turning of heat‑resistant alloys, offering a balance between wear resistance and edge stability.

• ISO rhombic insert, 35° geometry
• PVD‑coated AH8015 grade
• PSF chipbreaker for heat‑resistant alloys
• 0.8 mm corner radius for edge strength
• Cylindrical hole with single‑side countersink

Consistent performance on heat‑resistant alloys through balanced grade selection

The combination of a PVD‑coated AH8015 carbide grade and a carefully engineered chipbreaker provides a dependable compromise between wear resistance and edge stability. For turning operations on elevated‑temperature alloys, this balance reduces unexpected tool changes and helps maintain component tolerances over longer runs. The coating improves thermal resistance and abrasion performance, which translates into steadier machining and more predictable tool life when compared with uncoated grades.

Predictable chip formation and stronger cutting edge for stable cuts

The PSF chipbreaker and rhombic geometry support controlled chip formation across typical turning tasks. The 0.8 mm corner radius increases edge strength for interrupted cuts and batch production, while the 35° lead angle promotes smooth engagement and efficient cutting forces. Together these features reduce the risk of edge chipping and vibration, enabling more consistent surface finish and dimensional accuracy in both light and medium‑duty turning operations.

Easy integration into ISO tooling systems and secure clamping

As an ISO‑standard insert with a 4.76 mm thickness and a cylindrical hole with single‑side countersink (40°–60°), the insert integrates with a wide range of external holders and boring bars. Compatibility depends on form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening type, size and thickness; matching the insert to the correct holder ensures optimal clamping and heat dissipation. The standardised format simplifies stocking and replacement, reducing machine downtime and logistical complexity on the shop floor.

System approach: choose chipbreaker and holder for the application

This insert is intended to be used as part of a system comprising the insert, a suitable external holder or boring bar, backing shim/clamping set and replacement screws. Selecting the correct chipbreaker and grade for the workpiece material and stability conditions is crucial for achieving the best balance of productivity and tool life. For operations where stable cutting and predictable tool wear are priorities, the combination of the PSF geometry and the AH8015 grade offers a practical solution that supports continuous production.
