VCMT 110304 AH725 ISO turning insert — PVD-coated carbide, PS chipbreaker (Tungaloy)

A VCMT110304-PS AH725 ISO turning insert engineered for external and internal turning, offering a universal, breakage‑resistant grade suitable for mixed steels and stainless steels.

*PVD-coated carbide grade AH725 for process security
*Universal, breakage-resistant grade for steel and stainless steels
*Rhombic VCMT shape with 7° clearance angle
*Central hole with cylindrical seat and single-sided countersink 40°–60°

Longer tool life and consistent performance for mixed steels

The PVD-coated cemented carbide grade AH725 combines wear resistance and stable edge behaviour to support uninterrupted production. As a universal, breakage-resistant grade, it reduces the need for frequent insert changes when machining both steel and stainless steels, which improves uptime and lowers tool handling overhead. The chipbreaker PS promotes predictable chip formation, thereby stabilising the cutting process and helping to maintain consistent surface quality with fewer interventions.

Geometry engineered for reliable clamping and simple indexing

The rhombic VCMT geometry with a 35° design and 7° clearance ensures broad compatibility with standard ISO turning holders. Key dimensions such as 3.18 mm thickness, insert size 11 and a 0.4 mm radius provide mechanical stability and repeatable positioning in the pocket. A central hole with a cylindrical seat and a single-sided countersink (40°–60°) secures the insert reliably; compatibility to a specific holder is determined by shape, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness, which simplifies selection in modular tool systems.

Ready-to-install system advice and application scope

Designed for both external and internal turning, this insert is typically used with an appropriate external holder or boring bar, plus a shim/clamping set and replacement screws to complete the system. The combination of a universal grade and the PS chipbreaker makes the insert suitable for a range of operations from medium finishing to general turning where process security and predictable tool life are priorities. For demanding feeds or interrupted cuts, the compact corner radius and the PVD coating contribute to reduced flank wear and improved edge stability.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for stainless steels?
The VCMT110304-PS AH725 is designed as a universal, PVD-coated grade for machining both steel and stainless steels, offering improved process security and reduced risk of edge chipping.

Which holders are compatible with this VCMT geometry?
Compatibility depends on the rhombic VCMT form, 7° clearance and the insert dimensions; select a holder that matches the insert shape, tolerance class, fastening method, size 11 and 3.18 mm thickness.

What type of chip control does the PS chipbreaker provide?
The PS chipbreaker promotes short, controllable chips for general turning and medium finishing, aiding swarf evacuation and stabilising cutting forces on the Tungaloy insert.

Can the insert be used for internal boring operations?
Yes, the design supports both external and internal turning when combined with an appropriate boring bar and correct clamping components within the system.

How can tool life be optimised with this insert?
Optimise cutting data to suit AH725, ensure secure clamping in a compatible holder, and maintain appropriate coolant or lubrication strategy to extend edge life and stabilise the process.
