VBMT110304-PS AH120 — VBMT 110304 AH120 indexable insert for Turning (Tungaloy)

The VBMT110304-PS AH120 is an ISO-standard rhomboid indexable insert engineered for external and internal turning, delivering a sharp cutting edge and enhanced process security in general turning operations.

• PVD-coated AH120 grade for wear resistance
• PS chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• Corner radius 0.4 mm for fine surface finishes
• ISO 110304 compatibility with standard holders

Consistent cutting performance and longer tool life

The combination of a PVD coating and the AH120 carbide grade results in a cutting edge that resists abrasive wear and sudden chipping, which translates into longer tool life and fewer interruptions in production. The chipbreaker PS promotes stable chip formation under varying cut conditions, reducing the risk of entanglement and improving surface quality. For turning operations where repeatability and edge integrity matter, this insert gives a measurable improvement in process security and machining consistency.

Designed for reliable compatibility and straightforward clamping

Configured as a rhomboid insert with a central hole and a cylindrical hole plus one-sided countersink (40°–60°), the geometry ensures secure seating in a wide range of ISO-compatible holders. The 5° relief angle and 3.18 mm thickness provide stable support under axial and radial loads, while the corner radius 0.4 mm helps to achieve fine finishes on shafts and shoulders. This construction simplifies tool setup and reduces the need for special fixtures, making the insert a practical choice for both small-batch and series production.

Practical guidance for application and selection

Select the PS chipbreaker and AH120 grade when a sharp, stable cutting edge and dependable wear resistance are required for common turning tasks. The insert suits both external and internal turning; choose the chipbreaker and grade according to workpiece material, operation type and machine stability. Where vibration or interrupted cuts are expected, the fracture-resistant nature of the grade supports steady performance. If additional machining parameters are needed for optimal feeds and speeds, Metav Werkzeuge can provide tailored recommendations.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The VBMT110304-PS AH120 insert with its AH120 grade and PVD coating is designed for a broad range of steels and general turning tasks; choose the chipbreaker according to the specific workpiece material and machining conditions.

How does the PS chipbreaker influence machining?
The PS chipbreaker on the VBMT110304-PS promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation, which improves surface finish and reduces the likelihood of chip-related interruptions during turning.

What does the central hole and countersink provide?
The cylindrical centre hole combined with a one-sided countersink (40°–60°) ensures secure clamping in compatible toolholders and helps to maintain repeatable seating and positive torque transmission under load.

Which toolholders are compatible with this ISO designation?
Holders designed for ISO turning inserts with the 110304 geometry will accept the VBMT110304-PS AH120 insert, subject to matching form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing and thickness.

Is the grade suitable for interrupted cuts or unstable set-ups?
The AH120 grade is formulated to be wear- and fracture-resistant; it offers improved process security where a robust edge is required, though machining parameters should be adapted for especially severe interruptions.
