VBMT 160404 HA SM30 carbide turning insert is a positive indexable insert designed for CNC turning, profiling, facing and contour machining. The 35° rhombic geometry and 5° positive clearance angle provide efficient cutting action and allow access to complex profiles. The 0.4 mm nose radius is suitable for finishing and light-to-medium turning operations.

The indexable design provides two effective cutting edges and allows quick replacement when an edge becomes worn, making it suitable for compatible VBMT tool holders and CNC lathe tooling.

Applications

• CNC external turning
• Internal turning with compatible holders
• Facing
• Profiling and contour turning
• Shoulder machining
• Finishing and light-to-medium machining
• Shaft and component machining
• General engineering and production turning
