VCMT110308-PSS AH725 — ISO turning insert for external and internal turning — Tungaloy

The VCMT110308-PSS AH725 is a rhombic ISO turning insert engineered for reliable external and internal turning, combining a universal, breakout‑resistant grade with a PVD coating for stable cutting on steel and stainless steel.

• PVD-coated AH725 for consistent performance
• Universal for steel and stainless steel
• ISO rhombic VCMT 110308 geometry
• 0.8 mm corner radius with central hole

Consistent cutting performance for mixed‑material production

The PVD‑coated, carbide cutting grade AH725 is designed as a universal, breakout‑resistant solution where material mix and small tool sizes require high process security. With its PVD layer and carbide substrate, the insert delivers improved wear resistance and a stable cutting edge under varying cutting conditions, which reduces unscheduled tool changes and aids predictable cycle times. That combination makes it particularly suitable for job shops and flexible production lines that switch between alloyed steels and stainless steels.

Accurate system fit and predictable chip control

Built to the ISO VCMT geometry, the insert offers a rhombic profile with a 35° included angle and a 7° relief, ensuring the correct engagement geometry with compatible holders. The 0.8 mm corner radius and 3.18 mm plate thickness contribute to edge strength and allow controlled depth‑of‑cut choices. The central cylindrical hole with a one‑sided countersink (40°–60°) ensures secure clamping and repeatable positioning; compatibility is determined by form, relief angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness, so selection of the matching external holder or boring bar is essential for best results.

Productivity advantages and practical handling on the shop floor

Equipped with the PSS chipbreaker, the insert promotes stable chip formation across a wide range of cutting parameters, supporting predictable surface quality and extended tool life. The modest corner radius helps balance surface finish and edge robustness for medium and finishing passes. As part of an ISO insert system, the package concept typically includes a suitable holder, shim/locking set and replacement screws to simplify maintenance and reduce downtime. For routine workshop operations, this configuration supports efficient set‑ups and fewer interruptions for tool changes.

FAQ

Which materials are best suited to this insert?
The VCMT110308‑PSS AH725 insert is optimised for machining steel and stainless steel, with the AH725 grade offering breakout resistance and stable cutting across mixed materials.

What is the corner radius and how does it affect results?
The corner radius is 0.8 mm, which supports a balance between edge strength and surface finish; it is suitable for medium and finishing passes where a controlled surface quality is required.

How is holder compatibility determined for this ISO insert?
Compatibility depends on the insert form, relief angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness; the ISO VCMT geometry ensures wide compatibility with matching holders and boring bars.

What advantages does the PVD coating provide?
The PVD coating on the AH725 grade increases wear resistance and protects the cutting edge at elevated temperatures, contributing to longer life and more consistent process performance.

Is this insert suitable for roughing and finishing operations?
The grade and PSS chipbreaker provide a universal solution; selection of cutting parameters and holder rigidity will determine suitability for roughing or finishing in specific applications.
