VNMG 160404 AH120 — VNMG160404-SS for Turning by Tungaloy

The VNMG160404-SS AH120 is an ISO-standard, rhombic indexable insert designed for external and internal turning, offering a wear-resistant PVD-coated carbide grade for demanding, process-secure machining.

• ISO rhombic insert VNMG160404-SS
• PVD-coated carbide grade AH120
• SS chipbreaker for controlled chips
• 0.4 mm corner radius for fine finish

Consistent productivity with wear-resistant PVD coating

The PVD-coated carbide composition and AH120 grade deliver a balanced combination of hardness and toughness that supports stable cutting edge life under continuous production conditions. This translates into fewer interruptions for insert changes and more repeatable cycle times. The PVD layer increases wear resistance while preserving a sharp cutting edge, which is particularly advantageous when process security and dimensional consistency are priorities in turning operations.

Predictable chip control and surface quality

Equipped with an SS chipbreaker, the insert promotes reliable chip formation and evacuation during both external and internal turning. The 0.4 mm corner radius contributes to improved surface finish without sacrificing edge strength, making the insert suitable for finishing and semi-finishing passes where both geometry and surface integrity matter. Selecting the correct chipbreaker and grade according to workpiece material and machining stability optimises efficiency and reduces rework risk.

ISO compatibility and straightforward toolholder selection

As an ISO-standard indexable insert, fitment to a suitable holder depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The rhombic VNMG shape with a cylindrical hole ensures secure clamping and simple indexing in compatible VNMG holders or boring bars. The insert’s 4.76 mm thickness and 16 mm size provide mechanical stability for a wide range of turning tasks, while the 35° approach geometry supports favourable cutting forces in many setups.
