Value Collection ICP65125E Turning Insert VBMT2205 TCN55

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION ICP65125E is a solid carbide turning insert with a TiN (titanium nitride) coating, designed for use in CNC lathes and manual turning operations. Manufactured to the VBMT2205 ANSI insert code (ISO: VBMT110302), it features a 35-degree diamond (rhombic) shape with a positive side clearance and a 5-degree relief angle. The inscribed circle measures 0.25 inches (6.35 mm), the corner radius is 0.008 inches, and the insert thickness is 0.125 inches. A screw-clamping hold method and the T-style chip breaker make this insert suitable for a range of turning, facing, and profiling operations on ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials.

This insert is suited for general-purpose turning applications in both production shop and job-shop environments. The TCN55 manufacturer grade with TiN coating is appropriate for use on steel and stainless steel workpieces, corresponding to primary workpiece material codes M and P. It is typically installed in VBMT-compatible toolholders used by machinists and CNC operators performing external turning, chamfering, and light profiling cuts. The screw-on mounting method provides positive insert retention during interrupted and continuous cuts.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with TiN coating for improved wear resistance on steel and stainless steel
• 35-degree diamond (rhombic) insert shape for accessibility in tight-clearance profiling and turning operations
• 0.008 inches corner radius for a balance of edge strength and surface finish capability
• Positive side clearance geometry reduces cutting forces and heat generation
• T-style chip breaker promotes controlled chip formation across a range of feed rates
• Screw-clamping insert holding method for secure, repeatable seating in compatible toolholders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard insert for VBMT-style toolholders accepting ANSI code VBMT2205 inserts with a 0.11 inches hole diameter and screw-on mounting.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC operators. Power down and lock out the machine before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to secure the clamping screw to the toolholder manufacturer's specified procedure — do not overtighten. Inspect the toolholder pocket for wear or debris before seating the insert to ensure proper contact and runout.
