VBMT110308-PS AH6235 VBMT 110308 — Turning insert (PVD-coated carbide, 0.8 mm radius) by Tungaloy

VBMT110308-PS AH6235 is an ISO-format turning insert developed for demanding stainless-steel machining and interrupted-cut applications.

• PVD-coated carbide grade AH6235
• Suited for stainless steel machining
• PS chipbreaker for interrupted cuts
• 0.8 mm corner radius, rhombic shape

High-process reliability and cutting performance

The combination of a PVD-coated surface and the AH6235 grade provides improved resistance to built-up edge and thermal shock, which translates into more consistent tool life when turning stainless steels. The PS chipbreaker is engineered to control chip formation in unstable cutting conditions, reducing the risk of edge breakouts and minimising rework. For production environments where repeatability matters, this insert delivers stable cutting forces and predictable wear patterns.

Compatibility and mounting for straightforward integration

As an ISO-format insert, fitment is determined by form, clearance, tolerance class, fixation, size and thickness; the rhombic geometry with a cylindrical hole plus single-sided countersink (40°–60°) ensures secure clamping in common external holders and boring bars. Matching the insert to a correctly sized clamping kit and screw avoids movement under load and preserves surface finish, making tool changes quick and reliable in shop-floor routines.

Material and coating advantages explained

Constructed from carbide with a PVD coating, the grade emphasises toughness for stainless steel and applications with an elevated risk of edge chipping. The coating reduces adhesion and friction at the cutting edge, improving heat resistance and enabling steadier cutting when feeds and speeds are pushed for productivity gains. The result is fewer unscheduled tool changes and higher net output per shift.

Practical application guidance for best results

Use the insert for external and internal turning where interrupted cuts or stringy chips are common; select the 0.8 mm corner radius to balance edge strength and detail in the workpiece contour. Set up with the specified 5° clearance to maintain the intended rake and contact pattern; when machining stainless grades, favour modest cutting speeds and increased feed to avoid work hardening. For mixed-batch production, this insert helps safeguard dimensional stability across variable setups.
