VBMT 160408 AH8015 — ISO turning insert, rhombic 35° by Tungaloy

VBMT160408-TSF AH8015 is an ISO-standard rhombic turning insert optimised for general turning and for machining heat‑resistant alloys.

• PVD-coated carbide grade AH8015
• TSF chipbreaker for consistent chips
• Rhombic 35° geometry for versatile turning
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

Precision and performance for general turning

The PVD-coated carbide construction delivers a balanced combination of wear resistance and cutting-edge stability, making the insert well suited to conventional external and internal turning tasks. The rhombic 35° geometry provides a favourable cutting direction for versatile operations while the 0.8 mm corner radius supports robust edge life and moderate finishing capability. This balance reduces the need for frequent index changes and supports steady productivity in batch and continuous production.

Stable chip formation and material adaptability

Equipped with the TSF chipbreaker, the insert promotes controlled chip formation, which improves surface quality and reduces downtime for chip management. The AH8015 grade is designed as a first choice for machining heat‑resistant alloys, offering an equilibrium between abrasion resistance and edge strength. For less experienced operators, the chipbreaker simplifies process set‑up; for experienced shops, it supports predictable tool life and consistent component quality.

System compatibility and economical use

As an ISO-standard insert, compatibility with holders is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; the recommended system includes a matching rhombic external holder or boring bar, underlay/clamping set and replacement screws. The insert’s cylindrical hole with single‑side countersink (40°–60°) ensures secure clamping and repeatable seating. By combining long life with straightforward mounting, the component contributes to lower handling costs and improved process reliability over multiple production cycles.
