VNMG160404-SS GH330 — VNMG 160404 GH330 turning insert by Tungaloy

The VNMG160404-SS GH330 is an ISO‑standard rhombic turning insert designed for external and internal turning, offering a balanced blend of wear resistance and edge stability for general steel and alloy machining.

• ISO‑standard rhombic insert VNMG160404-SS
• GH330 grade for wear resistance and toughness
• SS chipbreaker for reliable chip control
• 16 mm size, 0.4 mm corner radius, with cylindrical hole

Precision performance that keeps production running

This insert combines the GH330 cutting grade with an ISO‑standard VNMG geometry to provide stable cutting behaviour in series turning. The carbide substrate and the tailored grain structure support a long tool life under continuous use, reducing changeover frequency and downtime. Thanks to the 0° relief geometry and a precise included angle, the insert maintains cutting stability even when radial engagement varies, which helps secure consistent component tolerances and repeatable surface finishes.

Controlled chips and edge stability for smoother machining

The SS chipbreaker is engineered to produce predictable, segmented chips when turning a range of steels and alloyed materials, lowering the risk of entanglement and improving swarf management. Combined with the 0.4 mm corner radius, the result is an improved balance between edge strength and sharpness: adequate for finishing passes while resisting premature chipping during tougher cuts. This measured approach to chip formation enhances productivity and reduces the need for secondary handling.

Compatibility and practical handling in the toolroom

The insert's rhombic form, 4.76 mm thickness and cylindrical hole ensure straightforward seating in compatible ISO holders; compatibility depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness. The standardised 160404 designation simplifies holder selection and inventory management. For operators integrating new grades, the GH330 grade offers a versatile compromise of wear resistance and toughness, suitable for general turning tasks where consistent performance and predictable tool life are priorities.
