CNMG160612 AH120 — ISO turning insert by Tungaloy, rhombic 80°

The CNMG160612 AH120 is an ISO rhombic turning insert designed for external and internal turning where a sharp cutting edge and high process security are required.

• CNMG160612 insert for ISO turning
• PVD-coated carbide grade AH120
• Double-sided chipbreaker for stable chips
• Rhombic 80° geometry, 1.2 mm corner radius

Consistent edge life through advanced coating and grade

The PVD-coated AH120 carbide combines a hard, wear-resistant surface with a substrate designed to resist chipping; this yields a consistent cutting edge and predictable tool life under varied operating conditions. For production environments seeking efficiency, the coating reduces flank and crater wear, contributing to longer intervals between indexings and fewer unscheduled tool changes. The outcome is improved uptime and a smoother machining flow, especially where repeatability and surface quality are priorities.

Geometry and chip control that support stable turning operations

The rhombic ISO form with an included angle of 80° and a 1.2 mm corner radius delivers a balance between edge strength and surface finish. The insert’s double-sided chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation across different cutting depths, aiding evacuations and reducing the risk of built-up edge. Compatibility with the clamping system is determined by holder form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness, ensuring secure seating and stable cutting conditions when the correct holder and clamping set are selected.

System approach for fewer tool changes and predictable costs

Being double-sided and indexable, the insert reduces tooling consumption per part and simplifies inventory handling. The standardised ISO designation supports quick matching to commercial holders and clamping kits, while the 6.35 mm plate thickness and cylindrical centre hole allow simple, repeatable mounting. Together, these features support a cost-effective production rhythm and enable planning for tool-change intervals based on measured wear rather than guesswork.

Practical application advice and process security

Select the chipbreaker and grade to match workpiece material, machining type and machine stability; the AH120 grade is optimised for wear and chipping resistance where a sharp edge and reliable performance are demanded. The insert is supplied as part of an ISO insert system comprising the insert, a suitable external holder or boring bar, a backing/clamp set and replacement screws. Establishing the correct assembly and clamping torque ensures reproducible results and supports the rated performance of the cutting edge.
