VNMG 160412 T5105 indexable turning insert for turning – Tungaloy

A VNMG160412 T5105 indexable insert engineered for high-speed turning of cast iron under stable machining conditions, compatible with ISO-standard holders.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T5105 for high-speed use
• Designed for efficient cast iron turning
• Double-sided chipbreaker for stable chip control
• ISO-standard VNMG 160412 geometry for easy fit

Consistent cutting performance and wear resistance

The combination of a CVD-coated surface and a cemented carbide substrate delivers enhanced wear resistance under elevated cutting speeds. This grade is formulated to keep flank and crater wear low during continuous turning operations on cast iron, so cycle times remain predictable and tool changes are reduced. The coating reduces built-up edge formation and preserves the cutting edge, providing a measurable contribution to process stability and cost-efficiency in production environments.

Geometry that ensures repeatable results and simple set-up

With an ISO-compliant VNMG 160412 form, the insert offers clear dimensional references: 35° lead angle, 0° clearance angle, edge radius 1.2 mm and a 4.76 mm thickness, all of which affect chip flow and surface finish. The rhombic shape and cylindrical hole enable secure clamping in standard external holders or boring bars; tolerance and fixing are determined by form, relief, and thickness, ensuring repeatable seating and concentricity. Choosing the correct holder and tightening torque completes the system for reliable machining.

Practical advantages in everyday turning applications

The dual-sided chipbreaker supports controlled chip formation and evacuation, which reduces interruptions and improves operator safety in long production runs. The insert is particularly suited to stable setups and finishing or light roughing where surface quality matters; when combined with the correct coolant strategy and holder rigidity, the double-sided chipbreaker contributes to consistent surface integrity. For repairs, re-indexing restores geometry quickly, helping to keep machine uptime high and inventory manageable.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The VNMG160412 T5105 insert from Tungaloy is optimised for cast iron turning under stable, high-speed conditions and performs well where consistent chip control is required.

Can the VNMG160412 be used for internal and external turning?
Yes, the VNMG160412 geometry and the cylindrical hole permit use in both external holders and appropriate boring bars for internal turning with the correct holder selection.

How does the T5105 grade affect tool life?
The T5105 CVD-coated grade increases wear resistance at higher cutting speeds, helping to extend effective tool life and maintain surface finish over longer runs.

What influence does the 1.2 mm edge radius have on the component finish?
An edge radius of 1.2 mm balances robustness and surface quality: it smooths edge contact and can improve finish while maintaining strength for light turning passes.

Is the insert compatible with standard ISO VNMG holders?
The insert follows ISO VNMG 160412 dimensions; compatibility is determined by form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening and thickness, so matching a standard VNMG holder is typically straightforward.
