VNMG160412 AH110 ISO turning insert for turning, Tungaloy

A VNMG160412 AH110 indexable turning insert engineered for external and internal turning, combining a sharp cutting edge with process security for stable production results.

• ISO‑compliant rhombic insert, 35° lead angle
• PVD‑coated carbide AH110 for edge stability
• Double-sided chipbreaker, with central hole
• Radius 1.2 mm for versatile turning

Consistent edge life through PVD-coated AH110 grade

The combination of a PVD‑coated surface and a hard carbide substrate provides measurable improvements in tool life and reproducibility. The AH110 grade is designed to resist both wear and chipping, which translates into fewer insert changes and reduced machine downtime. For production environments where repeatability matters, this results in a steadier cycle time and more predictable output quality. The coating also aids thermal stability at higher cutting speeds, supporting a consistent cutting geometry throughout a machining batch.

Geometry tuned for stable external and internal turning

The rhombic shape with a 35° lead angle and a 1.2 mm radius delivers a balance between edge strength and finish capability. The double-sided chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation for a range of turning depths, improving surface integrity on both external and internal contours. Compatibility with holders depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixation and size, so selecting the correct external holder or boring bar ensures the geometry performs as intended and delivers the required surface quality.

ISO system integration and handling benefits

As part of an ISO series of indexable turning inserts, the item integrates into established tool systems consisting of an insert, suitable holder or boring bar, a shim/clamp set and replacement screws. The insert is supplied with a cylindrical centre hole, enabling secure clamping and simple indexability to use both cutting edges. Clear labelling and the manufacturer SKU support inventory control and rapid replenishment, helping workshops maintain high machine utilisation without complex logistics.

Practical advantages for production workflows

Using a grade optimised for wear resistance and a robust chipforming geometry reduces scrap rates and the need for frequent rework. The insert supports a variety of steel and alloy applications when paired with an appropriate chipbreaker and holder stability, making it suitable for mixed-production shops and jobbing environments. In addition, the standardised form factor simplifies training for operators and streamlines the setup procedures at the machine.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The VNMG160412 AH110 insert is a PVD‑coated carbide grade designed for a wide range of steels and common alloyed materials when used with the correct chipbreaker and cutting parameters.

How does the double-sided chipbreaker influence machining?
A double-sided chipbreaker provides controlled chip formation on both cutting edges, improving surface finish and reducing the risk of built-up edge during turning operations with the VNMG160412 AH110.

Is this insert compatible with standard ISO holders?
Yes; the insert is part of an ISO series and is compatible with holders and boring bars that match the form, fixation, tolerance class, size and thickness of the VNMG160412 profile.

What is the advantage of the 1.2 mm nose radius?
The 1.2 mm radius offers a compromise between edge strength and surface finish, allowing stable cutting forces and good workpiece appearance in general turning tasks.

Can the insert be indexed to use both cutting edges?
Yes; the rhombic, double-sided design and central cylindrical hole permit indexing to utilise both cutting edges for economical use.
