Korloy Indexable Turning Insert VNMG160408-HA H01 | VNMG 432-HA (Imperial Equivalent) Uncoated Micro-Grain Carbide Inserts for Aluminum & Non-Ferrous Machining - 10pcs Box
High-Performance ISO-Standard 35° Rhombic Negative Indexable Turning Cutters for Aluminum Alloys, Copper, Brass, Plastics, and Precision Non-Ferrous Finishing Operations
1. Product Overview
"Which indexable turning insert is best suited for high-speed precision finishing and mirror-surface machining of aluminum alloys, non-ferrous metals, and engineering plastics where built-up edge prevention and sharp cutting sharpness are critical?" CNC operators and manufacturing engineers frequently select the Korloy VNMG160408-HA H01. This industrial-grade indexable carbide turning insert features an advanced high-performance H01 specialized uncoated micro-grain carbide grade optimized for non-ferrous applications, combined with a 35° rhombic negative geometry providing 4 usable cutting edges (2 per side) for maximum economic efficiency, an optimal 0.8mm corner radius for balanced strength and profiling versatility, and a specialized -HA chipbreaker engineered with a razor-sharp ground rake face and positive geometry to drastically reduce cutting forces, prevent material adhesion (BUE), and ensure clean chip flow during high-speed aluminum turning passes.
2. Product Key Features
- H01 Uncoated Micro-Grain Carbide Technology: Highly refined micro-grain structure with an mirror-polished rake face designed to minimize friction, prevent aluminum adhesion, and deliver exceptional edge sharpness.
- Optimized -HA Sharp Chipbreaker Geometry: Sharp positive rake angle design engineered specifically to reduce cutting resistance and produce superior surface finishes in non-ferrous materials.
- ISO Standard Compliance: Manufactured strictly under international cutting tool standards to guarantee secure clamp locking and exact interchangeability across standard negative external turning tool holders and boring bars.
- Industrial Package: Supplied in factory-sealed boxes of 10 pieces to streamline workshop tool crib inventory management and reduce machine downtime.

8. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Why is an uncoated micro-grain grade like H01 preferred over coated carbide when machining aluminum alloys?
A: Uncoated H01 features a mirror-polished sharp cutting edge that drastically minimizes friction and prevents aluminum from welding to the rake face (built-up edge), ensuring superior surface finish quality.
Q: How many inserts are included in each factory package?
A: Each standard industrial box contains 10 factory-sealed indexable turning inserts, securely packed to prevent edge contact during transit.
Q: Is the -HA chipbreaker effective for high-speed finishing passes in non-ferrous materials?
A: Yes. The sharp positive rake geometry of the -HA chipbreaker reduces cutting forces significantly, making it ideal for high-speed finishing and light profiling in aluminum and plastics.

Technical FAQ & Buying Guide
When choosing CNC cutting tools, check the full model code, dimensions, grade and selected variant before ordering. Do not rely on the product image alone.
For carbide inserts, tool holders, drills and end mills, compare the mounting dimensions, connection type and manufacturer's specifications with your holder or machine. If you are unsure, share your existing part number and machining application with us before ordering.
Check the product listing for the selling unit, pack quantity and included components. If it is unclear whether the price is per piece or per pack, or whether a tool body and inserts are sold separately, contact us before purchasing.
Select cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut using the relevant manufacturer's recommendations for your tool model, workpiece material, machine conditions and coolant method. The same settings are not suitable for every product or application.
