CNMG160616 AH120 indexable insert for turning — Tungaloy, PVD-coated carbide, 80° rhombic

The CNMG160616 AH120 is an ISO-indexable insert for external and internal turning, engineered to deliver a sharp cutting edge and high process reliability in industrial turning operations.

• ISO rhombic insert 80° geometry
• PVD-coated carbide AH120 grade
• Double-sided chipbreaker, with hole
• 1.6 mm corner radius, 6.35 mm thick

Consistent performance through a wear-resistant grade

The insert’s AH120 grade is a PVD-coated carbide designed for wear and breakage resistance in turning operations. With a sharp cutting edge and a robust coating, the grade provides extended tool life and reduced variation in part quality. This translates into fewer tool changes, lower unproductive time and more predictable cycle times, so production runs remain stable even under demanding conditions. The result is improved component finish and reproducible results across repeated batches.

Seamless integration into ISO tooling systems

As an ISO-design insert, compatibility is determined by shape, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness, and the module is intended to be used with a suitable external holder or boring bar, along with a shim/clamp set and replacement screws. The insert’s 6.35 mm thickness and 16 mm plate size fit common clamping systems for 80° rhombic tooling, enabling straightforward replacement and assembly. Correct holder selection and secure clamping are essential for achieving the expected stability and repeatability during turning operations.

Improved productivity with controlled chip formation

The double-sided chipbreaker and the presence of a cylindrical hole support reliable chip formation and evacuation when paired with the correct chipbreaker geometry for the workpiece material. The 1.6 mm corner radius and 80° geometry strike a balance between edge strength and the ability to produce a fine profile, making the insert suitable where process security and surface quality are priorities. Properly matched, these features lower the risk of built-up edge and reduce the likelihood of unexpected insert failure, contributing to a more productive machining process.

Application range and practical handling advice

Designed for external and internal turning, the insert performs best when the chipbreaker and grade selection are aligned with the selected workpiece material and the intended operation (roughing or finishing). Installation should follow the system’s specified clamping torque and tolerances to preserve geometry and avoid stress on the cutting edge. Spare screws, a suitable shim or clamp and the correct holder geometry are part of the complete system setup and should be checked before each tool change to ensure consistent outcomes.
