VNMG 160412 GH330 ISO rhombic turning insert, 35° cutting angle — Tungaloy

The VNMG160412 GH330 is a rhombic, ISO‑normed indexable insert engineered for external and internal turning operations where balanced wear resistance and edge stability are required.

• ISO rhombic insert with 35° cutting angle
• GH330 grade for wear resistance and toughness
• 1.2 mm corner radius for robust profile
• Double-sided insert with cylindrical hole

Engineered for dependable turning and edge stability

The VNMG160412 grade combines a Tungaloy carbide substrate with the GH330 specification to deliver a balance of wear resistance and toughness. That balance helps maintain a stable cutting edge under intermittent or continuous cutting loads, which reduces rework and the frequency of tool changes. The rhombic geometry with a 35° cutting angle provides effective engagement for facing and profile turning, while the 1.2 mm corner radius increases edge strength for medium to heavier depth cuts. As an ISO insert, it is indexable and reversible, allowing economical use of all available cutting edges.

Designed for secure clamping and predictable chip control

Compatibility to the toolholder is governed by the insert form, relief angle (0°), tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness (4.76 mm). The cylindrical centre hole supports positive and repeatable clamping in standard VNMG pockets, while the double-sided chipbreaker design aids chip formation and evacuation across a range of cutting conditions. The presence of a defined chip control geometry reduces the risk of built-up edge and supports consistent surface finish, translating into fewer interruptions and improved process stability during turning tasks.

Practical benefits for workshop productivity and process planning

Using an indexable insert of this specification simplifies inventory and shortens set‑up times: worn edges can be rotated to reveal a fresh cutting edge rather than replacing the entire tool. The tungsten carbide construction and GH330 grading complement the insert geometry to prolong effective tool life and maintain dimensional repeatability. For production environments where tool change frequency and predictable component quality matter, this insert supports lower overall tooling costs through extended performance per cutting edge and reliable chip behaviour.

FAQ

What applications suit this insert best?
The VNMG160412 GH330 insert is intended for external and internal turning; the GH330 grade provides a balance of wear resistance and toughness suitable for a broad range of general turning operations.

How is the insert clamped and indexed?
The insert uses a cylindrical centre hole for secure clamping in standard VNMG pockets and is double-sided, allowing indexing to fresh cutting edges as edges wear.

What does the 1.2 mm corner radius mean for machining?
A 1.2 mm corner radius increases edge robustness, improving stability and resistance to chipping during heavier cuts while influencing the achievable surface finish.

Is this an ISO-standard insert and how does that help?
Yes; the VNMG160412 follows ISO norms, ensuring compatibility with matching ISO VNMG holders when the form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening and thickness are observed.

Which product details identify this insert for order and traceability?
Order and trace using the article number 6809514, manufacturer SKU TUN6809514 and our SKU 6809514-Tungaloy; these identify the VNMG160412 GH330 Tungaloy turning insert precisely.
