Ingersoll Cutting Tools 5523134 Turning Insert VNGG330.5ML

Product Description

The INGERSOLL CUTTING TOOLS 5523134 is a solid carbide turning insert in the VNGG series, designed for precision metal-cutting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Carrying the TT5080 manufacturer grade, this insert features a Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) applied AlTiN plus TiN dual coating for extended tool life under demanding cutting conditions. The insert has a 35-degree diamond shape (V-code), a neutral hand orientation, and an ML chip breaker geometry. With four usable cutting edges and a 0.008-inch corner radius, it delivers consistent performance on finishing and light roughing passes. It is installed and replaced by machinists and toolroom technicians.

This insert is engineered primarily for cutting stainless steel, super-alloys, and titanium - workpiece material codes M and S. These are among the most demanding materials in production machining, and the TT5080 carbide grade with AlTiN/TiN PVD coating is suited to handle the elevated temperatures and abrasive wear those materials generate. It is typically used in production turning environments, job shops, and aerospace or medical component manufacturing where tight tolerances and surface finish requirements are critical. The ML chip breaker geometry supports controlled chip formation at moderate feed rates and shallow depths of cut.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with PVD-applied AlTiN and TiN dual coating for heat and wear resistance
• 35-degree diamond (V) insert shape provides a sharp, low-force cutting geometry
• ML chip breaker geometry optimized for stainless steel, super-alloys, and titanium
• Four cutting edges per insert for extended service life per piece
• Neutral hand orientation suits a wide range of toolholder configurations
• Clamp-style insert holding method with ANSI code VNGG330.5MLTT5080 and ISO code VNGG160402ML TT5080

Compatibility

Designed for use in VNGG-series clamp-style toolholders accepting a 3/8-inch inscribed circle, 35-degree diamond insert with a neutral hand. Consult your toolholder documentation to confirm seat geometry, clamp type, and shim requirements before installation.

Installation Notes

This insert is seated and clamped by a machinist or toolroom technician; power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key specified by the toolholder manufacturer when tightening the clamp screw - do not overtighten. Inspect the insert pocket and shim for damage or debris before seating a new insert. Verify the insert is fully seated and the clamp is secure before resuming cutting operations.
