Ingersoll Cutting Tools 5523261 VNMG332EA Turning Insert

Product Description

The INGERSOLL CUTTING TOOLS 5523261 is a VNMG332EA TT5080 solid carbide turning insert designed for precision metal-cutting on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries an AlTiN and Titanium Nitride PVD coating applied over a carbide substrate, providing heat resistance and edge durability at elevated cutting speeds. The insert measures 0.654 inches in length with a 3/8-inch inscribed circle and a 1/32-inch corner radius. With four usable cutting edges and a neutral hand orientation, this insert is suited for production turning applications where tool change frequency and per-edge cost matter. Licensed machinists and CNC operators install this insert using a standard clamp-style toolholder.

This insert is engineered for turning stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium - workpiece material codes M and S under ISO classification. The EA chip breaker geometry is paired with a negative rake and 35-degree diamond insert shape, making it appropriate for finishing and light roughing passes on difficult-to-machine materials. It is commonly used in aerospace, medical device, and oil and gas component machining where tight tolerances and surface finish requirements demand consistent edge performance. The maximum depth of cut is 0.098 inches.

Key Features

• AlTiN and Titanium Nitride PVD coating for heat and wear resistance on hard materials
• TT5080 manufacturer grade optimized for stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium
• 4 cutting edges per insert for reduced per-edge tooling cost
• EA chip breaker geometry for controlled chip evacuation during finishing and light roughing
• Negative rake with 35-degree diamond shape provides strong cutting edge geometry
• Clamp-style holding method compatible with standard VNMG toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use in clamp-style VNMG toolholders. ISO designation VNMG160408EA TT5080. Intended for turning stainless steel, superalloy, and titanium workpieces in applications requiring ISO M and S material grade inserts.

Installation Notes

CNC machinists and turning center operators install this insert. Power down and lock out the machine before seating or indexing the insert. Use the correct clamp screw torque per toolholder manufacturer specifications and ensure the insert pocket is clean and free of debris before seating. Do not exceed the maximum depth of cut listed for this insert geometry, and verify toolholder compatibility with the VNMG insert style before installation.
