VCMT160408-PSS AH8005 — Rhombic ISO turning insert, PVD-coated carbide (Tungaloy)

The VCMT160408-PSS AH8005 is an ISO-standard rhombic turning insert designed for external and internal turning of heat-resistant alloys and other hard materials; compatibility with the holder depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing and plate thickness.

• PVD-coated carbide grade AH8005
• PSS chipbreaker for controlled chips
• Rhombic ISO insert with 35° lead angle
• 0.8 mm corner radius for precision
• Countersunk hole fixing, 4.76 mm thick

Stable cutting performance for demanding materials

The PVD-coated carbide in grade AH8005 delivers a balanced combination of wear resistance and edge stability, specifically formulated for machining heat-resistant alloys and other tough materials under steady cutting conditions. The PSS chipbreaker promotes controlled chips, reducing risk of built-up edge and facilitating higher material removal rates in continuous operations. By choosing this specification, process planners gain improved tool life and fewer interruptions, which translates into more predictable cycle times and better utilisation of machine capacity.

Precision geometry for repeatable accuracy

The insert’s rhombic geometry with a 35° lead angle and a 0.8 mm corner radius provides a compromise between robust cutting edge and fine surface finish, making it suitable for both medium turning and light finishing passes. A plate thickness of 4.76 mm and the central fixing with a cylindrical hole plus one-sided countersink (40°–60°) ensure secure mounting and repeatable seating in standard ISO holders. This reliable clamping arrangement reduces vibration and positional variation, which supports consistent dimensional tolerances and surface quality across a production batch.

Seamless system compatibility and application guidance

As an ISO-series turning plate, the insert is intended to be used within a system comprising the appropriate external holder or boring bar, a backing/ clamping set and replacement screws; compatibility is determined by plate form, relief angle, tolerance class and fixing type. The PVD-coated carbide grade and the PSS chipformer should be selected according to workpiece material, machining strategy and available rigidity — when matched correctly, the result is economical machining with reproducible performance. For operations that demand stable cutting under thermal and mechanical stress, this insert provides a pragmatic balance of durability and process security.

FAQ

Which materials are best suited to this insert? The VCMT160408-PSS AH8005 insert uses a PVD-coated carbide grade AH8005 and is optimised for heat-resistant alloys and other hard materials when used in stable machining setups.

What does the PSS chipbreaker provide? The PSS chipbreaker on this insert creates short, controllable chips under appropriate cutting conditions, improving chip evacuation and protecting the cutting edge during continuous turning operations.

Which clamping arrangement is required for correct seating? This insert features a cylindrical hole with a one-sided countersink (40°–60°) and a 4.76 mm plate thickness; it is intended for standard ISO holders that match the 160408 geometry and the specified tolerance class.

Can the insert be used for both roughing and finishing? With its 0.8 mm corner radius and 35° lead angle, the insert is suitable for medium turning and light finishing; selection of cutting data and feed must be adjusted to the required surface finish and dimensional tolerance.
