VNMG160412 AH8015 turning insert (ISO) by Tungaloy — PVD-coated carbide, 35° lead angle

A VNMG160412 AH8015 ISO turning insert designed for external and internal turning of heat-resistant alloys, featuring a rhombic form with cylindrical hole and a 1.2 mm corner radius.

• ISO-compliant rhombic insert, 35°
• PVD-coated carbide AH8015, heat-resistant alloys
• 1.2 mm corner radius for stable cutting
• Double-sided chipbreaker, cylindrical hole

Consistent tool matching through ISO-compliant geometry

The insert is part of an ISO turning insert series, which ensures compatibility with standard holders when form, relief angle, tolerance class, mounting method, size and thickness are matched. Interchangeability is enabled because the geometry is specified to ISO norms; the mounting interface and the cylindrical hole permit repeatable seating and clamping, so tool changes and inventory management are simplified. This objective standardisation reduces downtime and supports consistent process planning across different machines and setups.

Balanced grade and coating for machining heat-resistant alloys

The PVD-coated carbide grade AH8015 offers a balance between wear resistance and cutting edge stability, making it a first-choice grade for general machining of heat-resistant alloys. The PVD layer helps resist adhesive wear at elevated temperatures and supports sustained cutting performance in typical turning operations. Selecting the appropriate chipbreaker and grade according to workpiece material and machine rigidity will extend edge life and improve cost-efficiency per machined component while maintaining reliable surface finish in both external and internal turning.

Robust edge geometry and secure clamping for productive turning

A 1.2 mm corner radius and double-sided chipbreaker deliver robustness and two usable edges per index, improving economy without sacrificing edge strength. The rhombic plate form combined with a cylindrical hole ensures secure clamping and repeatable positioning in compatible holders, which reduces vibration and enhances dimensional consistency. The 35° lead angle moderates cutting forces and can contribute to improved surface quality under typical turning feeds. Together, these features support stable chip control and predictable tool life in serial production.
