VNMG160404 AH110 — ISO rhombic turning insert, PVD-coated cemented carbide by Tungaloy

A VNMG160404 AH110 ISO rhombic turning insert designed for external and internal turning, offering a sharp cutting edge, process security and compatibility with ISO-standard holders.

• PVD-coated AH110 for wear resistance
• Rhombic VNMG shape for versatile turning
• Double-sided chipbreaker for stable chip control
• 0° clearance angle for predictable cutting

Durable cutting edge for extended performance

The combination of a PVD-coated surface with a cemented carbide substrate in the AH110 grade ensures enhanced wear resistance and improved edge stability during turning. This grade is formulated to resist both gradual abrasion and sudden chipping, making it suitable where a consistently sharp cutting edge and high process reliability are required. The coating reduces adhesion and thermal impact at the cutting zone, which translates into longer insert life and fewer interruptions in production. These characteristics support uninterrupted machining cycles and more predictable replacement intervals.

Clear guidance on compatibility and holder selection

Compatibility with the chosen holder is determined by the insert’s form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. As an ISO-standard insert, the VNMG160404 follows established dimensions and locating features, simplifying selection for existing toolholders and boring bars. When integrating the insert into a system, check the holder’s seat geometry and the clamp type; correct matching prevents movement during cutting and preserves the expected cutting data. The standardized designation streamlines procurement and reduces the risk of mismatched components in mixed-tool inventories.

Stable chip control and process security

The insert’s double-sided chipbreaker and a 0° clearance angle promote consistent chip formation and evacuation, reducing the likelihood of built-up edge and uneven cutting forces. The AH110 composition emphasises both wear- and breakage-resistance, which supports steady machining under varying process conditions. For optimal results, pair the chipbreaker style and grade selection with the workpiece material and the intended cutting strategy—this approach minimises rework, enhances surface finish and maintains cycle-time stability across batch runs.

Practical dimensions and system setup for straightforward use

Key geometry features contribute to handling and mounting: corner radius 0.4 mm, plate thickness 4.76 mm, and a cylindrical locating hole for secure fastening. The rhombic plate form and a 35° orientation support a wide range of turning operations, from light finishing passes to more robust turning with controlled depths of cut. Typical system assembly comprises the ISO insert, a compatible external holder or boring bar, a support pad/clamping set and replacement clamp screws; this modular approach facilitates fast index changes and predictable seating in production environments.

FAQ

Which operations are appropriate for this insert?
The VNMG160404 AH110 is intended for external and internal turning; the combination of rhombic geometry and AH110 grade supports both finishing and medium-turning tasks when the chipbreaker and cutting parameters are chosen to match the workpiece.

How is holder compatibility ensured?
Compatibility is determined by matching the insert’s form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness to the holder. The ISO VNMG designation simplifies selection for compatible external holders and boring bars.

What are the key dimensions to check before ordering?
Important dimensions include the 16 mm plate size, 4.76 mm thickness and 0.4 mm corner radius, plus the presence of the cylindrical locating hole and the 35° orientation that define seating and clamp requirements.

Does the AH110 grade resist chipping and wear?
Yes. The AH110 composition, combined with the PVD coating, is formulated to provide both wear resistance and breakage resistance, giving a stable cutting edge and improved process security in turning operations.

Is the insert indexable and reversible?
The insert features a double-sided chipbreaker and is designed for indexing; flipping and re-indexing are possible within the limits of the geometry and when the clamping system is correctly configured.
