VCGT 160404 Aluminium

ISO Designation: VCGT 160404 Aluminium

VCGT 160404 Aluminium is a ground-carbide, sharp-angle positive insert for aluminium contour turning, sized per ISO 1832 as 160404.

VCGT inserts combine a 35° rhombic positive geometry with a precision-ground, sharp cutting edge intended for aluminium and other non-ferrous materials, giving access to tighter contours during profile turning.

Per ISO 1832, the leading letters of this code indicate a 35° rhombic insert shape with a 7° relief angle; the remaining characters set the tolerance class, fixing style, size, thickness and corner radius.
