Corner turning head T500TM — Indexable insert holder, Ø50 mm head, for VCGT 1604 inserts (Teknik Makina)

A compact corner turning head designed to accept VCGT 1604 indexable inserts, engineered for tight turning applications and stable toolholding.

• Ø50 mm head for tight access
• Compatible with VCGT 1604 indexable inserts
• 22 mm shank diameter for secure mounting
• Torx M4x10 screw, T15 key specification

Faster set-ups through compact, rigid design

The compact head diameter and short overall length reduce interference in confined toolpost layouts while maintaining a stable cutting position. The Ø50 mm head and 52 mm overall length permit close access to workpiece shoulders, and the 22 mm shank diameter is specified to deliver repeatable clamping stiffness. These dimensional choices translate into reduced vibration and more consistent surface finish, so cycle times are often shorter and rework risk is minimised. The component weight of 0.362 kg keeps the rotating mass low, which supports dynamic balance in common turning machines.

Reliable clamping and straightforward insert compatibility

The holder is designed specifically for VCGT 1604 inserts, which are widely used for general turning and finishing operations; the format guarantees easy indexing and the benefit of multiple cutting edges per insert. The clamping screw is a Torx M4x10, compatible with a T15 key, which enables secure fixation with a controlled torque application. Because the fastening interface uses a Torx drive, the screw is resistant to cam‑out and allows for precise torque transfer; this characteristic is especially useful when consistent clamping force is required across tool changes, ensuring insert stability and extending insert life.

Practical benefits for workshop workflows and toolroom stock

Engineered as a direct and practical solution for small to medium turning tasks, the tool head integrates with standard toolholders where a 22 mm shank is accepted. The 90° cutting angle is suitable for corner machining and facing operations where perpendicular tool entry is required, which reduces the need for multiple specialised holders. As a spare or replacement item, this head supports streamlined inventory management: a single, robust holder that fits a common insert size reduces the variety of stocked items without compromising process flexibility. For purchasers seeking reliable supply and European distribution, Metav Werkzeuge offers consistent availability and logistics from its Emmerich hub.

FAQ

Which inserts fit this holder?
The holder accepts VCGT 1604 indexable inserts; the geometry is matched to standard VCGT pockets for secure seating and reliable indexing.

What shank size is required in the toolpost?
A toolpost accepting a 22 mm shank is required; the shaft diameter is specified as 22 mm for rigid mounting.

Which screw and key are specified for clamping?
Clamping is carried out with a Torx M4x10 screw; the corresponding drive size is T15 for torque application.

Is the tool suitable for corner and facing operations?
Yes — the 90° cutting angle and compact head profile are designed for corner turning and facing where perpendicular entry and close access are required.

How does the weight affect machine dynamics?
With a mass of 0.362 kg, the head keeps rotating mass low, supporting balance and reducing vibration in typical lathe operations.
