Ingersoll Cutting Tools 5523135 Turning Insert VNGG331ML

Product Description

The INGERSOLL CUTTING TOOLS 5523135 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 PVD-applied AlTiN and TiN dual coating that extends tool life in demanding cutting conditions. The 35-degree diamond shape (Insert Shape Code V) combined with a 3/8-inch inscribed circle and a 1/64-inch corner radius makes it well-suited for finishing and light-to-moderate roughing passes. Licensed machinists and CNC operators working in production or job-shop environments are the primary users of this insert.

This insert is engineered for use on stainless steel, super-alloys, and titanium workpieces (ISO material codes M and S). Its negative rake geometry and ML chip breaker designation target controlled chip formation during tight-tolerance turning operations. The neutral hand orientation makes it usable in both right-hand and left-hand toolholders designed for VNGG-style inserts. The clamp-style insert holding method is standard across most VNGG-compatible toolholders.

Key Features

• TT5080 grade solid carbide with PVD-applied AlTiN and TiN coating for wear and heat resistance
• 35-degree diamond insert shape (V) provides a strong cutting edge geometry
• ML chip breaker promotes controlled chip flow on stainless steel, super-alloys, and titanium
• Neutral hand orientation compatible with both right-hand and left-hand VNGG toolholders
• Four cutting edges per insert maximize tool economy
• ISO-standardized geometry (ISO Code: VNGG160404ML TT5080) ensures broad toolholder compatibility

Compatibility

Designed for use in VNGG-style clamp-type turning toolholders. Confirmed primary workpiece materials are stainless steel, super-alloys, and titanium (ISO material codes M and S). ANSI Code: VNGG331MLTT5080. ISO Code: VNGG160404ML TT5080.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by CNC machinists or tool-and-die professionals. Before seating the insert, power down the machine and engage all lockouts per standard lockout/tagout procedures. Ensure the toolholder pocket and clamping surfaces are clean and free of chips before seating the insert. Do not exceed the maximum depth of cut specified for the grade and workpiece material combination in use.
