VBMT 160408
ISO Designation: VBMT 160408
VBMT 160408 carries the VBMT family's sharp-angle rhombic geometry, designated 160408 under ISO 1832, for contour and profile turning.
VBMT inserts use a 35° rhombic positive geometry. The sharp point angle is well suited to profiling and contour turning where the tool needs to follow a changing radius, and the positive rake keeps cutting forces low on slender components.
Per ISO 1832, the leading letters of this code indicate a 35° rhombic insert shape with a 5° relief angle; the remaining characters set the tolerance class, fixing style, size, thickness and corner radius.
