VCMT Metal Lathe Cutting Inserts

VCMT turning inserts are highly regarded in the metalworking industry for their precision and reliability, especially in 

metal lathe cutting tools used in turning operations. These single-sided inserts feature a 35° diamond design with a 

positive 7° flank angle, giving them two effective cutting edges, making them ideal for semi-finishing and finishing 

tasks.

The geometry of VCMT inserts provides a positive rake angle, which reduces cutting forces and enables an excellent 

surface finish, especially on harder materials such as steel. Their design also allows for precise control during cutting, 

making them a popular choice for a variety of applications, including soft and exotic alloys.

The carbide material ensures that VCMT inserts retain their edge and durability for longer, even with continuous use.
