Tungaloy VN Series 35° Diamond Negative Inserts | VNMG VNMA Turning

Tungaloy VN 35° Diamond Negative Inserts

Maximum Clearance Profiling | 4-Edge Economy | Precision Finish Technology

Which 35° diamond insert is best for intricate profiling and narrow undercuts?

The Tungaloy VN Series (including VNMG and VNMA) is the specialized solution for complex external profiling and deep undercuts where standard 80° or 55° inserts would interfere with the workpiece. Featuring a sharp 35° diamond profile, these negative inserts offer 4 usable cutting edges, balancing the precision of a profiling tool with the industrial economy of a negative geometry. Utilizing Tungaloy’s T9215 CVD coating for high-speed steel or AH725 PVD for heat-resistant alloys, the VN series maintains exceptional tip integrity. The -ZF (Finishing) and -ZM (Medium) chipbreakers are engineered to manage long, stringy chips typically associated with light-depth profiling cuts.

Extreme Profiling Clearance

The slim 35° profile allows for machining into tight corners and deep recesses that other geometries cannot reach.

Negative 4-Edge Design

Unlike positive V-style inserts, the negative VN series offers double the edges, significantly lowering your tool cost-per-part.

Superior Surface Finish

Tungaloy's ground peripheries and precision-molded chipbreakers minimize chatter in light finishing passes.

Global Shop Success

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Profiling Genius" - R. Miller, USA
"We run VNMG for our tight-radius shaft work. The AH725 grade is the only thing that doesn't chip in the narrow undercuts."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Stable and Precise" - H. Sato, Japan
"Tungaloy VN inserts provided the dimensional stability we needed for a large aerospace contract. Excellent surface finish."

⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Great Economy" - D. Schmidt, Germany
"Switching from positive VCGT to negative VNMG saved us huge on edge costs. BEYOND CNC delivers fast."

Technical FAQ

Q: Can I use VNMG for heavy roughing?

A: No. The 35° angle is structurally weak compared to CNMG or WNMG. Use it primarily for profiling and light-to-medium finishing passes.

Q: What is the benefit of the -ZF chipbreaker?

A: The -ZF (Zero-Friction) chipbreaker is optimized for very light depths of cut, ensuring chip breaking even when taking only 0.1mm per side.

Industrial Tip: Vibrations in Profiling

Due to the long edge of the **VN series**, harmonic vibration can occur in deep profiling. Reduce feed rates slightly and ensure high-pressure coolant is aimed directly at the tip to maintain thermal stability. **BEYOND CNC** - Industrial Strength Precision.
