At CNC Tools Depot, we proudly offer the world’s largest collection of VBMT Carbide Inserts from top global brands like Korloy, Kennametal, Widia, Taegutec, and more. Designed with a 35° diamond shape, VBMT inserts are widely used in turning operations requiring excellent surface finish, profiling, and semi-finishing applications.
Whether you’re working with steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, or high-temp alloys, VBMT inserts deliver precision, durability, and consistent performance.
The ISO code VBMT gives a detailed specification:
V → Insert Shape: 35° Diamond (sharp for fine finishing & profiling)
B → Relief Angle: 5° clearance (minimizes cutting forces, improves finish)
M → Tolerance: Medium (ISO standard for balanced accuracy and economy)
T → Fixing Method: Single-sided insert with central hole for clamping
This design makes VBMT inserts ideal for applications where precision and surface quality are critical.
VBMT inserts are best suited for:
Finishing & Semi-Finishing: Achieve high-quality surface finish in precision machining.
Profiling: Excellent for contour turning and complex shapes.
Light Turning: Efficient in shallow cuts with reduced cutting forces.
Boring Operations: Can be used in internal turning for fine finishes.
Materials: Optimized for steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous alloys.
At CNC Tools Depot, we offer VBMT inserts in various grades, coatings, and chipbreakers to suit different machining needs:
Uncoated VBMT Inserts – For non-ferrous and general finishing.
CVD Coated Inserts – Designed for high-speed machining of steel and cast iron.
PVD Coated Inserts – Ideal for stainless steel and heat-resistant alloys.
Different Chipbreakers – Finishing (F), Medium (M), Roughing (R).

VBMT means a 35° diamond-shaped insert (V), with 5° relief (B), medium tolerance (M), and through-hole clamping (T).
They are mainly used for finishing, semi-finishing, profiling, and light turning operations.
VBMT inserts work well on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and super alloys.
No, VBMT is best for finishing and light cuts due to its sharp geometry. For roughing, SNMG or CNMG inserts are preferred.
Yes, VBMT inserts are commonly used for internal turning and boring operations with high precision.
Top brands include Korloy, Widia, Kennametal, Taegutec, Mitsubishi, Seco, and Sandvik.
It allows fine profiling and finishing with minimal cutting forces, improving surface quality.
Yes, available in multiple chipbreaker styles such as Finishing (F), Medium (M), and Roughing (R) for specific applications.
Typically in boxes of 5 or 10 inserts, with each insert in its own compartment to prevent edge damage.
