VNMG TM FOR STEEL
VNMG TM FOR STEEL
Cargo Carbide VNMG TM Steel Grade Insert is developed for CNC turning applications where a V-shaped cutting profile is useful for machining component contours, shoulders, and external profiles in steel. The VNMG format offers a compact cutting configuration that provides good access to detailed areas of turned components.
The TM geometry is intended for steel machining and can be selected for suitable turning, profiling, facing, and finishing operations. Its indexable construction allows the cutting edge to be changed when required, making it practical for repetitive CNC production and routine tooling maintenance.
VNMG TM inserts are particularly useful when the component requires more than straightforward diameter turning. Their geometry can assist with profile-oriented work on shafts, stepped components, bushes, flanges, and other engineered steel parts.
The actual insert grade, nose radius, cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut should be selected according to the steel grade, machining operation, machine rigidity, and required surface finish.
