VNMG 120408 AH8015 VNMG120408E-TSF – ISO turning indexable insert, 35° (Tungaloy)

The VNMG120408E-TSF AH8015 is an ISO turning indexable insert designed for external and internal turning of heat-resistant alloys and general-purpose turning applications.

• VNMG120408 profile, ISO 120408 geometry
• PVD-coated AH8015 carbide for heat-resistant alloys
• TSF chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• Compatible with standard ISO 35° turning holders

Optimised performance for heat-resistant alloys

The combination of a PVD-coated surface and the AH8015 carbide substrate provides a reliable balance between wear resistance and edge stability for machining temperature-resistant alloys. The 35° lead angle improves cutting engagement and reduces radial cutting forces, which supports steady metal removal rates and consistent component geometry. This geometry and coating pairing is suited to medium to high cutting speeds where tool life and surface integrity are priorities, enabling fewer insert changes and more predictable production planning.

Reliable chip control and consistent surface finish

The TSF chipbreaker is engineered for controlled chip formation in a wide range of turning conditions, reducing the risk of entangling swarf and improving cycle repeatability. The insert’s 0.8 mm radius strengthens the cutting edge for interrupted cuts and contributes to a stable surface finish, while the 4.76 mm thickness and rhombic outline provide rigidity against chatter. The 0° clearance specification influences contact behaviour at the cutting zone and, together with the cylindrical hole for secure clamping, ensures consistent performance across successive indexings.

ISO compatibility that simplifies tool selection and set-up

Belonging to the ISO series for turning indexable inserts, the ISO 120408 geometry permits straightforward interchangeability with compatible holders; compatibility depends on form, relief geometry, tolerance class, fastening type, size and thickness. The insert is furnished with a central cylindrical hole and matches widely used clamping systems, easing inventory management and reducing setup complexity on production lines. For shops seeking process reliability, the standardised format and the indexable insert concept support quick replacement and reproducible results in batch production.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert best suited for?
The AH8015 grade on the VNMG120408E-TSF insert is optimised for machining heat-resistant alloys and provides a broad capability for general turning tasks where a balance of wear resistance and edge stability is required.

How does the TSF chipbreaker influence machining?
The TSF chipbreaker on this indexable insert produces controlled chips that reduce entanglement and promote continuous machining, supporting stable cycle times and safer chip evacuation.

Is the insert compatible with standard ISO holders?
Yes, the ISO 120408 geometry is compatible with holders designed for that ISO designation; correct match depends on holder form, relief angle, tolerance and clamping method.

What does a 0.8 mm radius mean for surface finish?
A 0.8 mm cutting edge radius increases edge robustness and is beneficial for semi-finishing and roughing operations, offering improved tool life while still delivering an acceptable surface quality.
