VBMT160402-TSF AH8015 — ISO turning insert, PVD-coated carbide, 0.2 mm radius by Tungaloy

The VBMT160402-TSF AH8015 is an ISO-standard rhombic turning indexable insert designed for external and internal turning operations where a balance of wear resistance and edge stability is required.

• ISO rhombic insert for turning
• PVD-coated carbide grade AH8015
• 0.2 mm corner radius for fine finishes

Consistent cutting performance when machining heat-resistant alloys

The PVD-coated carbide grade AH8015 combines wear resistance with edge reliability for machining heat-resistant alloys and general engineering steels. The TSF chipbreaker is optimised for controlled chip formation under varying cutting conditions, which reduces the risk of built-up edge and keeps machining stable. By choosing the appropriate chipbreaker and grade for the workpiece and operational stability, the operator benefits from longer tool life and fewer interruptions for insert changes, supporting uninterrupted production.

Precision geometry that improves surface finish and repeatability

A small 0.2 mm corner radius together with a 35° approach angle and rhombic geometry produces a fine surface quality while maintaining cutting-edge strength. The insert’s 4.76 mm thickness and 16 mm size give adequate mass for stable clamping, and the cylindrical hole with single-sided countersink (40°–60°) ensures reliable fixation and repeatable positioning in the toolholder. These geometric details translate into less rework, predictable tolerances and faster setup times across batch runs.

ISO compatibility and practical system integration for workshop efficiency

Belonging to the ISO turning insert series, the plate integrates into standard toolholder systems when holder form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness match. The typical system comprises the insert, a compatible external holder or boring bar, backing pad/clamping set and spare screws. This modular approach simplifies inventory management and enables quick replacement during shifts. The combination of productive machining and straightforward integration supports economical turning operations and consistent part quality.
