This page covers every VBMT 160408-MV insert we can supply — 5 variants across HADSTO, published for Steel, Stainless steel, Cast iron, Non-ferrous. The 35° rhombic geometry gives it 4 cutting edges and makes it suitable for fine profiling, copying and sharp internal corners.
The designation encodes the geometry: the first letter is the shape (V), the following letter the clearance angle, then the tolerance class, then size, thickness and nose radius. If you want to check any of it, our ISO insert code decoder breaks the full string down character by character.

Cutting data
The 5 variants of VBMT 160408-MV listed here are supplied without a full published cutting-data set, so we do not publish one. Ask us for the specific grade and chipbreaker you are considering and we will send the manufacturer's window for it.
Carbide grades available
5 variants of VBMT 160408-MV are stocked in these grades: HS6120, HS7125, HS7225, HS8115, HS8125.
Across this range the grades specified most often are HS6120, HS7125, HS7225, HS8115, HS8125. Within one brand's range, a higher middle digit usually means a tougher grade — better on interrupted cuts, slightly less wear resistant. See carbide grades explained for how to read the names.
Chipbreaker geometries
Chipbreakers stocked for VBMT 160408-MV: MV.
The chipbreaker sets the usable feed window far more than the depth of cut does. A roughing geometry run at finishing feed will not break the chip; a finishing geometry pushed into a roughing cut will chip. Match it to the feed you will actually run — chipbreaker selection guide.
