Iscar VNMG Lathe Tool SVJNL 1616H-12F

Description

Product Overview

The Iscar SVJNL 1616H-12F is a precision External Turning and Profiling Toolholder built for intricate lathe work. Featuring a more compact footprint, it brings high-end insert rigidity to smaller machines and tight tooling envelopes.

• 16mm Compact Shank: Designed with a 16mm x 16mm square shank, this holder is the perfect drop-in upgrade for smaller CNC lathes, Swiss-type automatics, or manual lathes equipped with a standard quick-change toolpost.
• Left-Hand Orientation: This is a Left-Hand (L) cutting tool. Depending on your setup, it is designed to feed away from the chuck, or it can be used inverted on a sub-spindle or rear turret.
• Aggressive Profiling: The “J-style” geometry provides a 93-degree approach angle and utilizes 35-degree diamond inserts (VNMG / VNGG size 12). This is your go-to tool for deep undercutting, sharp shoulders, and complex finishing passes where a standard 80-degree insert simply won’t fit.
• Screw-Lock Clamping: Features a specialized screw-lock mechanism that pulls the insert securely into the pocket, maximizing rigidity and virtually eliminating chatter during delicate finishing cuts.

Condition

Used (Good Condition / Complete with Spares!).

This toolholder is in used condition, showing the typical visual patina and coolant staining of a working shop-floor tool, but it is fully functional and ready to cut.

• The Best Part: Not only is the insert pocket clean and undeformed, but this unit also comes in its original Iscar box, complete with the clamping tool and spare insert screws. Because let’s be real—tiny insert screws always find a way to vanish into the chip tray, so having factory spares on hand is a massive bonus. (Note: Inserts are not included).
