VCGT 160408 KS05F Wendeplatten - Tungaloy

Thanks to its KS05F grade and cemented carbide construction, the VCGT160408‑AL KS05F combines wear resistance with edge stability for consistent turning results; its ISO‑standard rhombic form and AL chipbreaker support controlled chip formation and reliable finish — order the insert directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult our specialists for application advice.

VCGT 160408 KS05F — Turning insert, rhombic, ISO‑standard

VCGT160408-AL KS05F is a rhombic, ISO‑standard turning insert designed for external and internal turning where a balance of wear resistance and toughness is required.

• ISO‑standard rhombic insert
• KS05F wear‑resistant grade
• Cylindrical hole with countersink
• 0.8 mm corner radius for reliable finish

Increased productivity through edge stability and grade selection

The combination of KS05F cutting grade and a cemented carbide substrate delivers a consistent edge life under typical turning loads. This specification is optimised to give a trade‑off between wear resistance and toughness, reducing unplanned tool changes and improving process uptime. In practice, choosing the correct chipbreaker and grade for the workpiece material results in fewer interruptions and a more predictable tool life, helping to stabilise production throughput and lower unit costs.

Faster set‑up and secure clamping with ISO compatibility

As an ISO‑standard insert, the component conforms to established seat and attachment geometries; however, final compatibility always depends on holder form, clearance angle, tolerance class, attachment type, size and thickness. The insert’s cylindrical hole with one‑sided countersink (40°–60°) and precise dimensions reduce trial fitting and allow a secure clamping connection when matched to a compatible outer holder or boring bar. This reduces set‑up time and supports repeatable mounting, which benefits batch production and changeover routines.

Versatile turning performance for varied machining tasks

Designed for both external and internal turning, the insert supports a broad range of operations when the AL chipbreaker and KS05F grade are selected to suit the workpiece and machine stability. The rhombic geometry and 35° wedge angle influence approach and entry conditions, delivering controllable chip flow and surface integrity. For workshops facing mixed jobs, this flexibility means fewer tooling variants on the shelf and a simpler decision matrix for tool selection.

Practical handling, specification and system considerations

Key dimensions such as size 16 mm, thickness 4.76 mm, and 0.8 mm corner radius determine both cutting performance and component strength; the relatively modest corner radius helps to produce a good surface finish while maintaining edge robustness. The insert forms part of a system that includes an outer holder or boring bar, a backing/clamping set and replacement screws; checking holder compatibility against the insert’s clearance angle (7°) and seat geometry prevents assembly issues and supports stable cutting conditions. If the correct holder or clamping kit is required, Metav Werkzeuge can advise on matching components.

FAQ

What work does this insert suit?
The VCGT160408‑AL KS05F is intended for turning operations; when paired with an appropriate chipbreaker and machining parameters, the grade supports a broad range of workpiece materials in external and internal turning.

What does the AL chipbreaker provide?
The AL chipbreaker on this insert promotes controlled chip formation during turning operations; selection of chipbreaker style should be matched to the workpiece material, depth of cut and machine stability for best results.

How is the insert fixed to the holder?
This insert uses a cylindrical hole with a one‑sided countersink (40°–60°); secure clamping depends on the holder’s seat geometry, tolerance class and fastening method.

Which dimensions are most important to check before ordering?
Confirm the insert size (16 mm), thickness (4.76 mm), corner radius (0.8 mm) and clearance angle (7°) against the intended holder and application to ensure mechanical and cutting compatibility.

Is the VCGT160408‑AL KS05F an ISO‑standard part?
Yes — the insert follows ISO‑standard geometry for this family of turning plates, but final compatibility requires verification of holder specifics and attachment method.
