VCMT 110304 AH6225 turning insert by Tungaloy — PVD-coated carbide, 35° cutting angle

The VCMT110304-TM AH6225 is a rhombic, ISO-standard turning insert designed for external and internal turning of stainless steels, offering a balance of sharpness and edge stability for medium-duty operations.

• PVD-coated carbide for stainless steel machining
• Rhombic VCMT shape with 35° cutting angle
• TM chipbreaker for stable chip control
• 0.4 mm corner radius, 3.18 mm thickness

Consistent results with a universal PVD-coated carbide grade

The AH6225 designation denotes a PVD-coated carbide formulated for broad applicability on stainless steels, providing a combination of wear resistance and a precise cutting edge. This makes the insert suitable for jobs where varying cut depths and intermittent conditions occur. The coating improves abrasive resistance and thermal stability, which translates into longer in-service life and fewer index changes, supporting uninterrupted production and predictable maintenance intervals.

ISO-standard geometry that simplifies holder compatibility

As an ISO-standard turning insert, the plate’s compatibility depends on the holder’s geometry, relief angle, tolerance class, and fastening method. The rhombic VCMT form with a nominal 35° cutting angle and 7° free clearance enables both finishing and medium turning tasks. The insert’s cylindrical hole with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°) ensures reliable clamping in appropriately matched toolholders, reducing the risk of movement under load and improving repeatability across tool changes.

Stable chip formation and improved surface quality

The integrated TM chipbreaker is optimised for mid-range turning of stainless steels, promoting short, controlled chips and reducing the likelihood of built-up edge formation. This chip control contributes directly to a more consistent surface finish and reduced vibration, which in turn preserves the integrity of the cutting edge and supports longer tool life. For workshops prioritising throughput and predictable component quality, this behaviour reduces rework and inspection overhead.

Practical dimensions and selection guidance for workshop use

Key dimensions such as the 11 mm inscribed circle, 0.4 mm corner radius, and 3.18 mm plate thickness align with common toolholder families, simplifying stock planning and tool setups. The VCMT geometry and TM chipbreaker combination suit a wide range of turning tasks, while the PVD-coated carbide substrate provides robust performance across variable conditions. When selecting holders, match form, free angle and tolerance class to ensure correct clamping and to exploit the insert’s full performance potential.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The VCMT110304-TM AH6225 is formulated primarily for stainless steels, with the PVD-coated carbide substrate providing wear resistance and edge stability under varying turning conditions.

Which machining tasks are typical for this insert?
Designed for external and internal turning, the insert is best applied to medium machining operations where a balance of surface quality and tool life is required; the TM chipbreaker improves chip control in these scenarios.

How does the chipbreaker affect performance?
The TM chipbreaker promotes short, controlled chips and stabilises cutting forces, which improves surface finish and reduces the risk of built-up edge on stainless-steel workpieces.

What dimensions should be checked to ensure holder compatibility?
Verify the holder’s acceptance for a VCMT rhombic plate, the 11 mm inscribed circle, the 3.18 mm thickness, the 7° free clearance and the hole/countersink style to ensure correct clamping and tolerance match.

Which SKU and manufacturer numbers identify this product?
The item is listed under SKU 6951578-Tungaloy, Manufacturer SKU TUN6951578 and Manufacturer article number 6951578 for ordering and inventory purposes.
