VBMT 160404 AH8005 — ISO turning insert, PVD-coated carbide for heavy-duty turning (Tungaloy)

The VBMT160404-PS AH8005 is an ISO-standard turning insert designed for stable external and internal turning of heat-resistant alloys and hard materials, featuring a PS chipbreaker and a rhombic plate form for versatile toolholder compatibility.

• ISO rhombic insert VBMT form
• PVD-coated carbide AH8005 grade
• 0.4 mm corner radius for precise profiles
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° chamfer

Reliable cutting performance for demanding materials

The PVD-coated carbide grade AH8005 delivers wear resistance and thermal stability that are essential when machining heat-resistant alloys and other hard materials. The PVD coating reduces flank wear and helps maintain a sharp cutting edge under higher cutting temperatures, which results in longer tool life and fewer indexings. For production environments where cycle time and process consistency are critical, the insert’s material and coating combination supports higher cutting speeds and repeatable surface quality, improving overall throughput and reducing unscheduled downtime.

Precise geometry that simplifies toolholder selection

Designed to the ISO specification, the rhombic plate geometry and the specified 5° clearance angle ensure predictable engagement with compatible holders and boring bars. Compatibility with a holder depends on shape, clearance, tolerance class, fastening method, plate size and thickness; this insert’s 16 mm size, 4.76 mm thickness and 0.4 mm corner radius allow accurate profiling and secure clamping. The central cylindrical hole with a one-sided countersink (40°–60°) gives stable seating and consistent repeatability during index changes. These features make tool set-up more straightforward and reduce rework caused by misalignment.

System advantages that raise productivity

This insert is intended for use within a complete system: an ISO turning plate, a matching external holder or boring bar, a supporting shim/clamping set and replacement fixing screws. The PS chipbreaker is matched to the insert geometry to promote controlled chip formation, which improves surface finish and chip evacuation in stable machining conditions. By combining a robust insert grade with an optimised chipbreaker and ISO conformity, the overall machining process becomes more efficient, lowering unit costs and increasing process reliability. For specific workpiece materials and cutting strategies, Metav Werkzeuge can advise on the ideal chipbreaker and holder combination to maximise life and productivity.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The VBMT160404-PS AH8005 insert is specified for heat-resistant alloys and hard materials; the AH8005 carbide grade with PVD coating is selected for wear resistance under elevated temperatures.

Which chipbreaker is fitted and what does it do?
This variant uses the PS chipbreaker, which is designed to produce controlled chips and support good surface finish during stable turning operations with matched holder rigidity.

How does ISO conformity benefit workshop processes?
ISO-standard geometry ensures predictable compatibility with a wide range of holders and boring bars; the VBMT form and specified dimensions reduce set-up time and promote repeatable clamping and indexing.

Are replacement screws and clamping parts required for the system?
A complete system comprises the insert, a matching external holder or boring bar, a shim/clamping set and replacement screws; these items secure consistent seating and repeatability for the VBMT160404-PS AH8005 inserts.
