S: Indicates a Screw-down clamping system. The insert is held down via a single center screw, maximizing chip clearance room. [1, 3]
V: Designed explicitly for 35° Rhombic / Diamond-shaped inserts (like VBMT or VCMT). [1]
J: Denotes the specific tool body style, featuring a 93° approach angle with a -3° side cutting edge angle. This geometry allows the tool to easily plunge or profile contours without rubbing the workpiece. [1, 2]
B: Specifies a 5° positive insert clearance angle to minimize rubbing friction and lower tool pressure. [1, 3]
R: Represents a Right-Hand cutting direction. [1]
3232: Represents the shank cross-section size. The steel bar is exactly 32 mm high by 32 mm wide. This large shank provides exceptional rigidity for high-load industrial cutting. [1, 3]
P: Indicates the overall tool length, which is exactly 170 mm long. [1]
16: Specifies the insert cutting edge length size, which is 16 mm. It is specifically built to match VBMT 1604... or VCMT 1604... insert series. [1, 3]
Compatible Inserts & Replacement Spares
Primary Insert Pockets: Compatible with VBMT 160404 (0.4mm nose radius for finishing) or VBMT 160408 (0.8mm radius for medium roughing).
Insert Torx Screw: Standard M3.5 x 8 mm or M3.5 x 9 mm screws.
Torx Wrench/Driver: Uses a standard T15 flag key or wrench.
Anvil / Shim (Under-pad): Uses a VB-16 shim with a matching shim screw to protect the tool holder steel block in case of an insert breakage. [1, 2, 4, 5, 6]
