It carries the DA1000 manufacturer grade, which is optimized for moderate wear resistance and toughness in N-class (non-ferrous) applications. The insert features a 35-degree diamond (rhombic) shape, a positive rake angle, and a 7-degree relief angle with positive side clearance. The GD chip breaker geometry supports efficient chip control in continuous and light-interrupted cuts on aluminum alloys, copper, and other soft non-ferrous metals. It ships uncoated and ready for use with standard VCMT-style toolholders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is intended for turning operations on non-ferrous metals in both production and job-shop environments. The VCMT221 form factor fits a wide range of neutral-hand external turning and profiling toolholders. PCD cutting edges are well suited to high-speed finishing and semi-finishing passes on aluminum, copper, and similar materials where long edge life and surface finish quality are priorities. Licensed machinists and CNC operators in aerospace, automotive, and general precision machining typically specify this insert for high-volume aluminum component work. The insert complies with both ANSI and ISO 13399 standards, making it cross-referenceable by ISO code NF-VCMT110304N-GD.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePCD (polycrystalline diamond) cutting material for superior edge life on non-ferrous metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDA1000 grade: balanced moderate wear resistance and toughness for aluminum and non-ferrous (N-class) work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e35-degree diamond (rhombic) insert shape enables access in tight profiling and contour operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGD chip breaker geometry promotes effective chip evacuation in aluminum turning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePositive rake and 7-degree relief angle reduce cutting forces on soft materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eComplies with ANSI and ISO 13399 standards; dual-coded VCMT221 \/ VCMT110304\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in VCMT-style neutral-hand turning toolholders accepting a 221 (ANSI) or 110304 (ISO) insert size.

Seat the insert firmly against the toolholder pocket and pocket stop before torquing the clamping screw or engaging the pin lock to the manufacturer specification for the toolholder. PCD edges are brittle and should not contact hardened steel, interrupted cuts on ferrous material, or abrasive workpiece surfaces, as edge chipping or catastrophic failure can result. Inspect the seating pocket for chips or debris before each insert index.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eANSI Insert Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: VCMT221\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISO Insert Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: VCMT110304\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISO Full Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: NF-VCMT110304N-GD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: DA1000\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: PCD (Polycrystalline Diamond)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: V - Diamond (Rhombic) 35 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: GD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating \/ Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Uncoated (Bright)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positive\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelief Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSide Clearance\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positive\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInscribed Circle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch (0.2500 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1339 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch (0.1252 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/64 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.30 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Holding Method\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pin; Screw\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Non-Ferrous Metal (N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade Characteristics\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum and Non-Ferrous - Moderate Wear Resistance and Toughness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTolerance Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: M\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClearance Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: C\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-Use Tool\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI; ISO 13399\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23242105\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SUMITOMO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16HQEHA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SUMITOMO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51742859886898,"sku":"16HQEHA","price":114.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/cd3e3494822024ca107410456f115e9c_1da2509d-f83e-451c-929d-42c5b616a63c.jpg?v=1788839918","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/sumitomo-16hqeha-turning-insert-pcd-vcmt221-da1000","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
