Tungaloy VB & VC Series 35° Diamond Turning Inserts | VBMT VCMT VBGT VCGT

Tungaloy VB & VC 35° Diamond Turning Inserts

The Ultimate Collection for Precision Finishing & Profiling

Which Tungaloy 35° insert provides the best chip control for high-precision steel finishing?

The Tungaloy VB and VC Series collection represents the pinnacle of 35° rhombic (V-shape) turning technology. Designed for intricate profiling where clearance is a mechanical necessity, these inserts are available in both VBMT/VBGT (5° clearance) and VCMT/VCGT (7° clearance) configurations. Whether you are utilizing the NS9530 Cermet grade for mirror-like surface finishes or the T9200 series CVD carbide for high-speed production, these inserts provide the thermal stability and edge sharpness required for modern CNC machining.

Premium Finishing Geometries

Geometries like the -PS and -24 are optimized for light depths of cut, ensuring exceptional chip breaking and preventing surface scratches on high-value parts.

Superior Surface Integrity

Tungaloy's unique Cermet grades (NS9530) offer chemical inertness that eliminates built-up edge (BUE), maintaining mirror finishes throughout long production cycles.

Advanced CVD Coating

The T9200 series features a thick Alumina layer for incredible heat resistance, allowing for high-speed machining in dry conditions without compromising tool life.

Technical FAQ

Q: What is the difference between VBMT and VCMT?

A: VBMT has a 5-degree relief angle, while VCMT has a 7-degree relief angle. VCMT provides more clearance for internal boring and intricate profiling.

Q: Should I use Cermet (NS9530) or Carbide (T9200) for finishing?

A: Choose Cermet for high-gloss, mirror surface requirements on steel. Choose T9200 Carbide for higher productivity and tougher applications.

Q: Can I use these for interrupted cuts?

A: 35° inserts are geometrically thinner. For interrupted cuts, ensure you use a tougher grade like T9225 and a larger nose radius (0.8mm).

Machinist Tip: Surface Roughness (Ra)

For the best surface Ra when finishing, ensure your feed rate (f) is roughly 1/3 of the nose radius. For a 0.4mm radius, a feed rate of **0.12 mm/rev** or lower is recommended. **BEYOND CNC** - Precision Delivered.
