VCGT220520 KS05F VCGT — ISO turning insert, rhombic 35° by Tungaloy

The VCGT220520-AL KS05F is an ISO-format turning insert designed for external and internal turning, providing a balanced combination of wear resistance and edge stability for a wide range of materials.

• ISO-standard insert for turning applications
• Tungaloy KS05F grade for wear resistance
• Rhombic 22 mm form with 35° cutting angle
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° single-sided countersink

Consistent chip control for productive turning

The insert delivers reliable chip formation thanks to the AL chipbreaker geometry, which is optimised for a variety of turning operations. The combination of the KS05F grade and the chipbreaker reduces edge wear and supports continuous metal removal, resulting in fewer interruptions and higher throughput. For users less familiar with chipbreaker terminology: a chipbreaker shapes and controls the swarf so that removal is safe and predictable, reducing the risk of re-cutting and improving surface finish.

Secure seating and broad holder compatibility

Manufactured to ISO dimensions, the rhombic insert matches common external holders and boring bars with regard to form, clearance and fastening features. The cylindrical centre hole with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°) ensures repeatable clamping and correct axial positioning. The 7° clearance angle and 35° cutting angle provide a stable cutting geometry that lowers cutting forces while maintaining accessibility in shoulder and profile turning tasks, simplifying integration into established tool systems.

Durable carbide grade for stable cutting edges

Composed of a high-quality carbide compound selected by Tungaloy, the KS05F grade combines wear resistance with sufficient toughness to cope with interrupted cuts and variable stock conditions. The 2 mm corner radius (R2) gives a compromise between edge strength and the capability to produce acceptable surface finishes without excessive feed restrictions. This balance supports longer tool life and consistent component tolerances in day-to-day production.
