FANAR PLYTKA 16 ER 0.70 ISO BMA — cutting insert, 16 mm, 0.70 mm, ISO geometry

FANAR PLYTKA 16 ER 0.70 ISO BMA is a cutting insert designed for indexable tooling systems with ISO geometry. With a nominal 16 mm size and a 0.70 mm thickness/profile, this insert is manufactured to consistent dimensions to ensure repeatable engagement in turning and grooving operations. It is intended for use in holders compatible with the 16 ER series and provides a defined cutting edge geometry for metalworking tasks where ISO-compliant inserts are required.

Advantages

The insert delivers consistent dimensional accuracy and straightforward interchangeability in tooling systems that accept 16 ER inserts. Its ISO geometry supports predictable chip control and stable cutting performance when mounted in the correct holder. The slim 0.70 mm profile allows for narrow groove cutting and fine finishing passes while maintaining the rigidity needed for repeatable results in production environments.

Suitable for

• External turning on lathes with compatible 16 ER holders
• Grooving operations requiring a 0.70 mm insert profile
• Indexable tooling setups in batch or continuous machining
• Workpieces made of common industrial metals where ISO inserts are specified

Key specifications

• Geometry: ISO standard profile for indexable inserts
• Size: 16 mm nominal designation
• Thickness/profile: 0.70 mm
• Use type: cutting insert for turning and grooving
• Compatibility: designed for holders that accept 16 ER series inserts

How to use

Install the insert into a compatible 16 ER series holder following the holder manufacturer's mounting procedure, ensuring correct seating and clamping torque. Verify the insert orientation matches the cutting direction and that the cutting edge is free of damage before starting the machine. Set appropriate cutting parameters—speed, feed and depth of cut—based on material, toolholder rigidity and machine capability. Replace the insert when wear or edge chipping affects surface finish or dimensional accuracy.

Usage recommendations

Use coolant or appropriate cutting fluid where recommended for the workpiece material to improve tool life and chip evacuation. Inspect clamping components regularly and use inserts only with holders specified for 16 ER ISO geometry to maintain safe and consistent machining results.
