VBMT110308-TSF AH8015 — ISO turning insert for external and internal turning by Tungaloy

The VBMT110308-TSF AH8015 is an ISO-format indexable insert designed for turning operations, optimised for the general machining of heat‑resistant alloys.

• PVD-coated carbide grade AH8015
• For heat‑resistant alloy machining
• ISO rhombic 35° geometry
• Cylindrical hole with countersink 40°–60°

Engineered for consistent high‑speed turning and longer runtimes

The combination of a PVD‑coated carbide substrate and the balanced AH8015 grade provides a controlled compromise between wear resistance and cutting‑edge stability, making the insert suitable for demanding turning of heat‑resistant alloys. The coating reduces adhesive wear and increases thermal resilience, which translates into longer tool life and fewer interruptions for insert changes. For producers seeking reliable cycle times, the optimised grade supports steady material removal rates while maintaining consistent surface quality.

ISO compatibility that simplifies toolholding and setup

Designed to ISO dimensions, the insert ensures interchangeability with standard holders when the form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness match the clamping system. The listed 5° clearance and 35° geometry define the engagement and cutting vector, while the 3.18 mm plate thickness and 11 mm inscribed size suit conventional external holders and boring bars. Integrating the insert into an existing tool system reduces setup time and avoids costly trial‑and‑error: simply select a holder with matching seat and clamping provisions, add the correct shim or clamping set and secure with the appropriate screw.

Practical features for secure clamping and improved chip control

The insert’s rhombic form and 0.8 mm radius provide a balance between strength and finishing capability at the cut edge. The cylindrical hole with one‑sided countersink (40°–60°) offers positive, repeatable clamping; combined with the TSF chipbreaker, this produces short, controllable chips and steady cutting forces. For both external and internal turning, these traits help maintain dimensional accuracy and surface finish while lowering the risk of edge chipping under interrupted cuts. Selecting the correct chipbreaker and grade according to workpiece stability and material ensures predictable performance and cost efficiency.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The VBMT110308-TSF AH8015 insert from Tungaloy is specified as a first choice for the general machining of heat‑resistant alloys, offering a balance of wear resistance and edge stability for those materials.

How does the TSF chipbreaker affect chip control?
The TSF chipbreaker on this Tungaloy turning insert shapes chips into short, controllable segments, improving evacuation and reducing the likelihood of entanglement in turning operations.

Which holder characteristics must match for correct use?
Compatibility depends on the insert form, clearance angle (5°), tolerance class, fastening method, size (11 mm) and thickness (3.18 mm); choose a holder or boring bar that matches these parameters for secure clamping.

How is the insert clamped and secured?
The insert features a cylindrical hole with a one‑sided countersink (40°–60°) that, together with the correct screw and clamp set, provides repeatable and stable fixation in the holder.

What machining tasks suit this geometry and grade best?
The rhombic 35° geometry with a 0.8 mm corner radius is well suited to both external and internal turning, especially where a combination of strength and finish is required on heat‑resistant alloys.
