Ingersoll Cutting Tools 6308032 Turning Insert VNMG331FLP

Product Description

The INGERSOLL CUTTING TOOLS 6308032 is a solid carbide turning insert in the VNMG series, designated grade TT8115B with a CVD-applied multilayer coating of TiCN, Al2O3, and TiN. The insert carries a VNMG331FLP designation, indicating a 35-degree diamond shape, neutral hand, M-tolerance, N-clearance, and an FLP chip breaker geometry. The inscribed circle measures 0.375 inches, overall insert length is 0.654 inches, thickness is 0.187 inches, and corner radius is 0.016 inches. Four usable cutting edges are available per insert. Primary application is turning of steel workpiece materials. Licensed machinists and CNC turning center operators are the primary installers.

This insert is engineered for turning steel components in production and job-shop environments. The FLP chip breaker geometry is suited to finishing and light profiling passes where controlled chip evacuation and consistent surface finish are priorities. The negative rake configuration and rigid clamp-style holding method make it compatible with standard VNMG toolholders used on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. Maximum depth of cut is 0.060 inches, positioning this insert for finish to light-medium turning operations on steel. ISO code VNMG160404FLP TT8115B provides the international cross-reference for toolholder and insert catalog matching.

• Negative rake, N-clearance, M-tolerance construction for secure clamp-style mounting
• Corner radius of 0.016 inches suits fine-finish turning requirements
• ISO cross-reference: VNMG160404FLP TT8115B

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard VNMG-style clamp toolholders on CNC lathes and turning centers. Primary workpiece material is steel (ISO material code P). ISO insert code VNMG160404FLP TT8115B provides the international reference for confirming toolholder compatibility.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC setup technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the turret is in a safe index position before seating or replacing inserts. Use the correct clamp screw torque per the toolholder manufacturer's specification and verify the insert seats flush against the pocket locating surfaces before resuming cutting operations. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris that could prevent proper seating and affect dimensional accuracy.
