CNMG 160608 AH120 indexable turning insert, 80° rhombic form — Tungaloy

CNMG160608 AH120 is an ISO-format indexable turning insert designed for external and internal turning applications, offering a durable PVD-coated carbide grade for consistent cutting performance.

• CNMG160608 geometry, 80° rhombic form
• PVD-coated carbide AH120 for wear resistance
• Double-sided chipbreaker for stable chip control
• 0.8 mm corner radius for a sharp, durable edge

Precision and long tool life through optimised grade and coating

The CNMG160608 AH120 insert pairs an ISO-standard geometry with a PVD-coated carbide substrate to deliver reproducible tool life and cutting-edge retention. The ISO designation guarantees interchangeability with compliant holders, while the AH120 grade is formulated for wear resistance and reduced chipping risk, which supports higher cumulative cutting volumes before indexation is required. This technical combination reduces downtime and increases process throughput in serial and batch turning operations.

Consistent chip control and mechanical stability for reliable turning

Built with a double-sided chipbreaker and a 0.8 mm corner radius, the insert ensures controlled chip formation and a robust cutting edge for both finishing and profile turning. The 6.35 mm thickness and 80° geometry add stiffness at the cutting zone, helping to minimise vibration and deliver repeatable surface finishes. The presence of a cylindrical hole simplifies secure clamping, contributing to mechanical stability and predictable cutting behaviour under varied cutting parameters.

Clear compatibility guidance and selection for production demands

Compatibility with toolholders depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, mounting method, size and thickness; selecting the correct chipbreaker and grade should match the workpiece material and required process stability. For operations demanding a sharp edge plus high process reliability, the AH120 grade offers a balanced solution that supports both precision and throughput. Technical selection advice and holder matching are available to help specify the insert for particular machines and setups, promoting efficient integration into existing turning cells.
