About Kyocera VN 35° Diamond Negative Inserts
The VN 35° diamond negative geometry is the most specialized turning geometry. With 4 cutting edges per insert, 35° narrow point, and negative rake, VN inserts are purpose-built for profiling and contouring where wider geometries can't reach.
Key advantages of the VN family:
- Maximum profile clearance — 35° point for tight profiling
- Lowest radial forces among negative geometries — best for slender workpieces
- Internal boring capability — small IC for small-diameter bores
- Specialty work — mold & die, aerospace, medical components
The VN family includes sub-designations:
- VNMG — 35° diamond negative w/ hole + molded chipbreaker. The standard VN style.
- VNMA — 35° diamond negative w/ hole + no chipbreaker. Cast iron or specialty applications.
Kyocera Corporation (Kyoto, Japan) is one of the world's leading manufacturers of CNC cutting tools, with over 60 years of tooling expertise. The Kyocera PR series (CVD-coated steel), TN series (cermet), PV series (PVD-coated stainless), CA series (CVD stainless / cast iron), and KW series (uncoated aluminum) represent decades of grade development.

How to Choose the Right Kyocera VN Insert
Selecting the correct VN insert involves three decisions:
- Material → Grade: Steel → PR930. Stainless → CA5525. Steel finishing → TN60.
- Operation → Chipbreaker: General profiling → TM. Finishing → TS / 11.
- IC size → Tool holder: VNMG 16 (9.525 mm) → MVJNR/L 16. VNMG 22 (12.7 mm) → MVJNR/L 22.
Tip: For ultra-slim profiling, start with VNMG160408-TM T9125-equivalent grade. For finishing, use TS chipbreaker.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these genuine Kyocera original inserts?
Yes — all 32 products in this catalog are 100% genuine Kyocera originals manufactured by Kyocera Corporation in Kyoto, Japan. Each insert ships in original Kyocera factory packaging with full traceability.
What is the difference between VN and other turning geometries?
VN 35° has the narrowest point of any negative geometry. Use VN when profiling clearance matters most; use DN 55° when you need both profiling + general work; use CN 80° when edge strength matters most.
What does the IC size mean in this VN family?
IC sizes: VNMG 16 = 9.525 mm, VNMG 22 = 12.7 mm. Smaller IC for tighter profiling work.
What tool holder do I need for VN inserts?
VN 35° diamond negative inserts fit standard MVJNR/L, MVVNN external turning holders tool holders. Browse our turning tool holder catalog for compatible options.
What grade should I choose for stainless steel?
For stainless steel work, Kyocera recommends CA5525 (CVD M-grade) or PV720 (PVD grade) — both provide superior wear resistance and edge security on 304/316 stainless. Choose CA5525 for heavier roughing; choose PV720 for finishing operations.
How does VN compare to the negative-rake alternative?
VN is a negative-rake insert with weaker edge strength than wider geometries (CN, SN, TN). Use VN only for profiling; use CN/SN/TN for general turning and roughing.
