Introduction to V (35° Diamond) Inserts

V-style carbide inserts (35° Diamond) are among the most popular turning inserts used in CNC machining and metal cutting. Their 35° included angle makes them highly versatile for precision turning, profiling, and finishing applications, especially when working on complex geometries and narrow slots.

At CNC Tools Depot, we offer a complete range of V (35°) inserts from industry-leading brands like Korloy, Widia, Kennametal, Taegutec, Mitsubishi, Seco, Sandvik, and more.
