VBMT160404-TSF AH6225 — VBMT 160404 AH6225 turning insert (Tungaloy)

A VBMT160404-TSF AH6225 insert for precision external and internal turning with PVD-coated Hartmetall, optimised for rostfreier Stahl.

• PVD-coated Hartmetall for rostfreier Stahl
• ISO 160404 rhombic format for ISO holders
• 0.4 mm corner radius for precise finishing
• Cylindrical hole with single-sided countersink

Versatile grade for reliable medium turning

The VBMT160404-TSF AH6225 grade combines a PVD-coated Hartmetall substrate with a geometry tailored for changing cutting conditions. The AH6225 mix offers a sharp and stable cutting edge, which reduces built-up edge formation when machining rostfreier Stahl and similar alloys. For workshops that run mixed batches or encounter variable feed and speed, this insert provides consistent surface quality without frequent edge dressing. The universal nature of the grade means fewer insert changes and improved machine uptime.

Geometry that delivers consistent dimensional accuracy

Optimised for accessibility and control, the ISO 160404 rhombic format with an included 35° angle and a 0.4 mm corner radius helps achieve repeatable part tolerances and fine finishes on external and internal contours. The modest corner radius supports fine finishing passes while preserving edge strength during intermittent cuts. The insert thickness and shape contribute to chip flow stability, making it suitable for medium-duty operations where both precision and process reliability are required.

Secure mounting and straightforward tool matching

Clamping compatibility is determined by form, relief, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness; the insert features a cylindrical hole with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°) and a 5° relief angle to match common ISO holders. Use with the correct outer holder or boring bar, plus the prescribed underlay/clamping set and replacement screws, to ensure repeatable seating and torque transmission. This configuration supports secure fixing and minimises vibration, directly aiding tool life and part quality.

Practical productivity in everyday workshop use

With the TSF chipbreaker and the universal AH6225 grade, the insert balances cutting-edge sharpness with a durable flank for mid-range feeds and varied material batches. Selection of the chipbreaker and matching holder provides operators with the means to tailor chip formation to material and stability conditions, improving cycle times and reducing manual rework. The insert is ideal for manufacturing environments seeking dependable, easy-to-integrate tooling that supports both one-off and series production without complex parameter changes.

FAQ

What materials is this insert designed for?
The VBMT160404-TSF AH6225 insert is designed primarily for rostfreier Stahl and similar alloys, benefiting from the AH6225 PVD-coated Hartmetall grade for stable cutting.

Which toolholders are compatible with the ISO 160404 format?
Compatibility depends on holder form, clearance angle, tolerance class and fastening; use holders matching the ISO 160404 rhombic format to ensure proper seating for the VBMT160404-TSF AH6225.

How does the TSF chipbreaker affect chip formation?
The TSF chipbreaker on the VBMT160404-TSF AH6225 promotes controlled chip segmentation suited to medium feeds, improving evacuation and surface finish under variable conditions.

Is special clamping hardware required for the countersunk hole?
Standard ISO-style clamping sets and the correct underlay are required to secure the insert via its cylindrical hole with single-sided countersink; correct assembly ensures repeatable positioning for the VBMT160404-TSF AH6225.
