VCMT-Tungsten Carbide Indexable Inserts
VCMT tungsten carbide indexable inserts are designed for finishing, medium cutting and roughing of steel, stainless steel and superalloys. CVD and PVD coating grades are available, combined with a high-resistance carbide substrate to improve cutting stability, wear resistance and tool life. The 35° diamond geometry supports access to tight profiles, while different corner radii, materials and groove designs can be selected for different machining requirements. High-precision ground VCGT versions are also available for finish turning.

What does VCMT160408 Code mean？
- V means this carbide insert is 35°diamond shape
- C means 7° rake angle
- M means tolerance class is M level, thickness tolerance is ±0.013mm,length tolerance is±0.013mm, inscribed circle diameter tolerance is±0.08mm
- T Indicates it has cylindrical hole and one side groove
- So VCMT160408 means it is 35 °diamond shape insert with7°rake angle, tolerance M level with inscribed circle diameter 9.525mm, thickness 4.76mm, corner radius 0.8mm.
Advantages：
- Both CVD and PVD coating grades are available and have excellent performance.
- Widely used for various steel,stainless steel, super alloys from finishing,medium and roughing machining.
- 3.The substrate is high resistance combined with heat resistance coating.It also improves stability and wear resistance.
- New coating technology can increase 20% tool life.More economical.
VCGT is ground with high precision(thickness tolerance is ±0.13mm,length tolerance is±0.025mm, inscribed circle diameter tolerance is±0.025mm),suitable for finish turning. It can processing materials such as stainless steel, quenched steel, titanium alloy, etc. Materials with a hardness of HRC55 or less. And mostly are used in the industry of Auto Parts,Glass,CNC machining, Aircraft, Precision Mold.
