VCMT110308 AH725 — ISO turning insert VCMT110308-PS AH725 by Tungaloy, PVD-coated carbide with PS chipbreaker and 35° geometry

A VCMT110308-PS AH725 insert designed for ISO‑standard turning applications, offering a universal, fracture‑resistant grade suited to steel and stainless steel in both external and internal turning operations.

• ISO‑standard VCMT form, 35° cutting angle
• PVD‑coated carbide grade AH725 for steels
• PS chipbreaker for stable chip control
• 0.8 mm corner radius; cylindrical hole with countersink

Consistent chip control for reliable production

The rhombic insert geometry with a 35° cutting angle and the dedicated PS chipbreaker deliver predictable chip formation and evacuation under varying cutting conditions. The combination of the chipbreaker design and the 0.8 mm corner radius reduces the risk of built‑up edge and breakouts during interrupted cuts or mixed material runs, which enhances process stability on small tools and demanding setups. This results in fewer unplanned tool changes and a more continuous production flow.

Durable grade for mixed steels and higher process security

The AH725 grade is a PVD‑coated carbide developed as a universal, fracture‑resistant option for machining steel and stainless steel, making it especially suitable where workpiece types vary. The PVD coating improves wear resistance and heat tolerance, extending tool life in many turning operations. Explained simply: the coating forms a thin, hard layer that reduces abrasion and maintains edge integrity, while the core carbide substrate provides toughness against mechanical loads.

ISO compatibility and straightforward integration into tool systems

As an ISO‑standard turning insert, compatibility with holders is defined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The insert is rhombic, 11 mm in size, 3.18 mm thick and supplied with a cylindrical hole plus a single‑sided countersink (40°–60°), facilitating secure clamping in common external holders or boring bars. The modular system approach — insert, matching outer holder or boring bar, shim/clamp set and spare screws — simplifies inventory and reduces setup time when swapping inserts between machines.

Practical benefits for workshop efficiency

Choosing this insert supports consistent surface finish and repeatable performance thanks to its engineered geometry and coating. The PVD‑coated AH725 grade balances wear resistance and edge toughness, which is particularly advantageous for shops running mixed batches or seeking to reduce variety in insert families. Fewer tool failures and stable chip control contribute to higher uptime and reduced process variation, thereby improving productivity across turning operations.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The VCMT110308-PS AH725 insert is specified for machining steel and stainless steel; the AH725 PVD‑coated carbide grade provides improved wear resistance and fracture control for mixed material runs.

How does the PS chipbreaker benefit turning operations?
The PS chipbreaker on this insert promotes short, manageable chips and reliable evacuation, improving process stability and reducing the risk of chip entanglement during external and internal turning.

What are the key dimensions to check for holder compatibility?
Check the ISO form (VCMT), plate size (11 mm), thickness (3.18 mm), hole type (cylindrical with countersink) and clearance angle (7°) to ensure the insert fits the intended holder and tolerance class.

Is the coating suitable for higher cutting speeds?
The PVD coating on the AH725 grade increases heat and wear resistance, supporting efficient performance across a range of cutting speeds typical for steel and stainless steel applications.

Can this insert be used for interrupted cuts or unstable setups?
Yes, the fracture‑resistant AH725 grade combined with the PS chipbreaker and 0.8 mm corner radius improves robustness in interrupted cutting and less rigid setups.
