Manufactured to ISO and ANSI standards under the ISO designation VBMT160404-PS, this insert features an AH725 grade substrate with a PVD-applied TiAlN coating for thermal resistance and extended tool life. The 35-degree diamond shape (V) provides a sharp, positive-rake geometry suited for finishing and semi-finishing passes. With a 0.4 mm corner radius and a maximum depth of cut of 2.50 mm, it delivers consistent surface quality across a wide range of workpiece materials. Installed via screw-hold clamping, it fits standard VBMT toolholders and is ready for immediate use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is intended for turning, facing, boring, back turning, and back boring operations on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials. It is well-suited for both production-floor CNC environments and job shop lathe work where multi-material capability is required. The neutral hand orientation and two cutting edges make it a practical choice for high-mix, low-waste machining programs. Material grades P15, P30, M15, M30, K25, K30, S15, and S25 are covered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAH725 carbide grade with PVD TiAlN coating for heat resistance and wear protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e35-degree diamond insert shape with positive rake angle (10 degrees) for reduced cutting forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.4 mm corner radius and honed cutting edge for consistent surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo cutting edges per insert to extend usable life per unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with turning, facing, boring, back turning, and back boring operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI and ISO standards; ISO code VBMT160404-PS, industry standard VBMT 331 PS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use insert for standard VBMT screw-clamp toolholders accepting a 3\/8-inch inscribed circle, 3\/16-inch thick diamond-style insert in the VBMT series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician with the machine in a safe, powered-down or E-stopped state before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate Torx or hex key to secure the clamping screw to the toolholder manufacturer's specification. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surface for chips or debris before seating the new insert. Confirm proper seating and clamping torque before resuming cutting operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISO Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: VBMT160404-PS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: VBMT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: AH725\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Diamond 35 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 35 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiAlN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Process\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4 mm (1\/64 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16.60 mm (1.308 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInscribed Circle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9.53 mm (3\/8 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.76 mm (3\/16 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.50 mm (0.0984 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.40 mm (0.173 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelief Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positive\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Edge Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Honed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: PS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Cutting Edges\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Holding Method\u003c\/strong\u003e: Screw\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWiper Edge\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Stainless Steel, Cast Iron, Non-Ferrous Metal, Superalloys and Titanium, Hard Material\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grades\u003c\/strong\u003e: P15, P30, M15, M30, K25, K30, S15, S25\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI, ISO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.024 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: TUNGALOY\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6856689\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TUNGALOY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51971367698738,"sku":"6856689","price":45.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/8e400415c352652e0472505c3ac1a2a6.jpg?v=1789955881","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/tungaloy-6856689-vbmt160404-ps-ah725-turning-insert","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
