Value Collection VNMG160408SC30 Turning Insert VNMG332

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION VNMG160408SC30 is a solid carbide turning insert designed for precision external turning operations on CNC and manual lathes. This uncoated (bright finish) insert carries the ANSI designation VNMG332 and ISO designation VNMG160408. It features a 35-degree diamond (rhombic) shape, a negative side clearance, and an I55 manufacturer grade with C5/C6 material grade classification. The G-style chip breaker geometry assists with chip control during cutting. With a 3/8-inch inscribed circle and a 1/32-inch corner radius, this insert suits finishing and light roughing passes on a range of workpiece materials classified under ISO material group P (ferrous metals).

This insert is suited for use in VNMG-style toolholders used in shop environments handling turning of steel and similar ferrous workpiece materials. It is appropriate for use in both production and job-shop settings where an uncoated carbide grade is preferred for its consistent cutting edge sharpness and dimensional stability. The clamp and pin holding method is standard for this insert style. This insert is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

• Compatible with clamp and pin holding systems standard to VNMG toolholder bodies

Compatibility

Designed for use in VNMG-style turning toolholders that accept the VNMG332 (ANSI) or VNMG160408 (ISO) insert seat with a clamp and pin holding method. Verify toolholder insert pocket specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing inserts. Ensure the insert pocket and seating surfaces are clean and free of chips or debris before clamping to achieve proper seating and prevent premature edge failure. Follow the toolholder manufacturer's clamping torque specifications for the clamp screw.
