VBMT110304-PS AH725 ISO turning insert for steel and stainless steels by Tungaloy, 35° geometry

The VBMT110304-PS AH725 is an ISO rhombic indexable insert designed for external and internal turning, offering a universal, fracture-resistant grade suited to mixed-material production and operations requiring high process security.

• PVD-coated carbide AH725 for steel and stainless
• ISO rhombic insert VBMT110304-PS, 35° angle
• 0.4 mm corner radius for accurate profiling
• Cylindrical hole with one-sided countersink

Stable cutting and predictable tool life for mixed production

The combination of a PVD-coated carbide substrate and the AH725 grade aims to deliver process reliability in environments where material types vary. The coating reduces built-up edge and improves wear resistance, which translates into longer effective tool life and fewer interruptions for index changes. For production settings where small inserts are preferred, the fracture-resistant composition reduces the risk of unexpected breakouts while maintaining consistent surface quality on both steel and stainless steels.

Geometry engineered for secure seating and accurate profiles

A rhombic plate form with a main geometry angle of 35° and a relief of 5° gives controlled engagement and predictable cutting forces. The 0.4 mm corner radius supports fine profiling and improved strength at the insert tip, while the plate thickness of 3.18 mm provides the body stiffness needed for repeatable results. These dimensional choices simplify set-up, improve repeatability across batches and reduce vibration, which in turn enhances surface finish and reduces rework.

Chip control and clamping details that support productivity

The PS chipbreaker is tuned for reliable chip formation in turning operations, encouraging short, controllable chips that evacuate cleanly in both external and internal machining. The insert is supplied with a cylindrical hole and a one-sided countersink (40°–60°) to ensure secure clamping in compatible holders; this mechanical interface minimises micro-movement under load and supports higher feeds where process stability is required. Compatibility with standard ISO holders is determined by insert form, relief angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness.

Material range and recommended applications

Designed primarily for machining steel and stainless steels, this indexable insert is especially suitable where workpiece materials change frequently or where high process security is a priority. The universal nature of the grade makes it a practical choice for batch production, jobbing shops and toolrooms that need one reliable insert for a variety of turning tasks. Typical uses include finishing and medium-duty semi-finishing in both external and internal turning where consistent edge behaviour and chip control are essential.
