VBMT 160402 AH6225 VBMT — Turning insert, PVD-coated carbide, Tungaloy

VBMT160402-TSF AH6225 is an ISO‑standard rhombic turning insert designed for efficient external and internal turning of stainless steels with a balance of sharpness and edge stability

• PVD-coated carbide AH6225
• Designed for stainless steel turning
• Rhombic 35° geometry with 0.2 mm radius
• Cylindrical hole with one-sided countersink

Higher throughput with consistent edge performance

The PVD-coated carbide grade AH6225 combines wear resistance with a controlled cutting geometry to deliver repeatable performance in mixed‑condition turning operations. Due to its tailored coating and substrate, the insert maintains a sharp cutting edge while resisting premature flank wear, which reduces unplanned tool changes and supports higher process stability. Where cycle time and surface quality matter, this grade is specified to enable steady material removal rates and predictable tool life in turning of stainless steels.

Secure clamping and straightforward system integration

Built to ISO norms, the insert’s rhombic form with a 35° main angle and a 0.2 mm corner radius ensures compatibility with standard external holder systems; clamping compatibility depends on form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The cylindrical hole with one-sided countersink (40°–60°) provides firm seating and simplifies index changes, reducing set‑up time. For workshops seeking reliable repeatability, the standardised format makes tool inventory and holder selection straightforward and cost‑efficient.

Versatile mid-range grade for varying conditions

Intended as a universal choice for machining demanding alloys, this insert suits mid‑level roughing and finishing tasks where variable workpiece conditions require a compromise between sharpness and robustness. The design supports stable chip formation with the TSF chipbreaker, helping to avoid built‑up edge on tough stainless grades and improving surface finish without sacrificing productivity. The VBMT160402-TSF designation indicates the insert geometry and chipbreaker combination optimised for turning, making it a practical option for mixed‑batch production.
