VBMT 110308 AH6235 ISO turning insert for Turning by Tungaloy

The VBMT110308-PSS AH6235 is an ISO-format turning insert engineered for external and internal turning, optimised for stainless steels and interrupted cutting conditions.

• ISO turning insert VBMT 110308 AH6235
• PVD-coated carbide for stainless steels
• PSS chipbreaker for interrupted cuts
• 0.8 mm corner radius, 35° geometry
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

Consistent performance in demanding stainless-steel work

The combination of a PVD-coated carbide substrate and the AH6235 grade delivers a tougher cutting edge suited to machining stainless steels and applications with a higher risk of edge breakout. The coating improves wear resistance and thermal stability, which leads to fewer premature changes and a more predictable tool life. For production environments where interrupted cuts or variable material batches occur, this configuration reduces scrap rates and helps maintain consistent dimensional tolerances.

Predictable chip control and surface quality

A dedicated PSS chipbreaker and the insert’s 35° main geometry support controlled chip formation, reducing vibration and improving surface finish on both external and internal passes. The 0.8 mm corner radius increases edge strength and contributes to uniform cutting forces, while the rhombic form ensures good accessibility in tight contours. These design choices translate into measurable benefits: improved component finish and stable cycle times when machining medium to difficult stainless-steel grades.

ISO compatibility for seamless system integration

As an ISO-standard insert, compatibility with holders is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The insert is supplied with a cylindrical hole and one-sided countersink (40°–60°) to match common clamping systems and replacement screws. Using standardised inserts simplifies inventory management and enables rapid replacement during scheduled changeovers, supporting steady production flow and reduced setup complexity.

Lower total process costs through durability and stability

The tougher AH6235 grade and PVD surface treatment combine to extend service intervals and reduce tooling consumption in serial production. Fewer tool changes and improved process stability decrease unplanned downtime and contribute to overall cost-efficiency. The insert’s construction supports reliable performance across a broad range of turning tasks, making it a practical choice where repeatability and production continuity are priorities.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The AH6235 grade with PVD coating is intended primarily for stainless steels and applications prone to interrupted cuts, making it well suited to work-hardened and galled materials.

How does the PSS chipbreaker improve the process?
The PSS chipbreaker on the VBMT110308-PSS promotes stable chip formation and evacuation, which reduces vibration and helps to maintain surface finish during external and internal turning.

Which holders are compatible with this ISO insert?
Compatibility depends on the holder’s form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening and thickness; the ISO format and the central hole with countersink match common external holders and boring bars designed for ISO turning inserts.

What advantage does the 0.8 mm corner radius offer?
A 0.8 mm corner radius increases edge strength and evens out cutting forces, improving dimensional stability and reducing the likelihood of edge chipping on interrupted cuts.

Is this insert suitable for internal turning and grooving?
Yes, the rhombic plate form and geometry make it suitable for many internal turning operations; selection of the correct holder and approach conditions is important for optimal results.
