VCMT 080204 AH725 ISO turning insert for turning by Tungaloy — PSF chipbreaker, 7° clearance

The VCMT080204-PSF AH725 is an ISO-format indexable insert designed for external and internal turning, offering a universal, chipbreak-optimised grade suitable for mixed steels and stainless steels.

• Universal PVD-coated AH725 grade
• PSF chipbreaker for stable chip control
• Rhombic VCMT form, 7° clearance
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

Stable cutting with a versatile PVD-coated grade

The combination of a PVD-coated surface and the AH725 carbide composition delivers a balance between wear resistance and fracture toughness, making the insert suitable for a wide range of steels and rostfreier Stahl (stainless steel). The PSF chipbreaker is designed to produce short, controllable chips under varied cutting conditions, which reduces the risk of entanglement and supports uninterrupted production. For applications where material composition changes frequently or where smaller tooling is used, this insert provides consistent performance and improved process reliability through enhanced edge stability and predictable tool life.

Precise ISO fit for fast, repeatable set-up

The rhombic VCMT 080204 geometry and ISO sizing ensure compatibility with standard holders; the insert’s cylindrical hole with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°) guarantees secure clamping and repeatable positioning. With a plate thickness of 2.38 mm and a nominal corner radius of 0.4 mm, the design offers a defined cutting edge for repeatability and predictable surface finish. These mechanical characteristics translate directly into reduced set-up times, consistent tolerances across batches and easier insertion into existing tool systems, making the component practical for both one-off and series production.

Efficiency and process security for demanding turning tasks

Designed for turning operations, the insert’s carbide substrate combined with the PVD layer provides a robust cutting edge that resists built-up edge and thermal degradation during extended runs. The engineered chip control reduces interruptions and cleaning cycles, so machining cycles become more economical. The ISO-standard geometry allows use with a wide range of external holders and boring bars; select the holder that matches the form, clearance angle and tolerance class to achieve best results.
