VNMG inserts are 55° diamond-shaped, double-sided carbide inserts designed for high-precision turning, profiling, and finishing operations in CNC lathes. Their sharp nose geometry and negative rake angle make them ideal for achieving fine surface finishes, especially in applications with tight tolerances or complex contours.
VNMG stands for:
V – 55° Diamond shape (acute angle, ideal for profiling)
N – 0° relief angle (neutral rake)
M – Medium tolerance
G – Type of chipbreaker/clamping configuration
With 4 cutting tips per insert (2 per side), VNMG inserts are favored in industries like aerospace, automotive, and die manufacturing where finish quality is critical.
Geometry: 55° diamond shape – perfect for profiling and taper turning
Relief Angle: Neutral (0°), ideal for strength in finish cuts
Cutting Edges: 2 per side, 4 total usable edges
Edge Sharpness: Excellent for finishing and profiling jobs
Application: Precision turning, light roughing, finishing, and contour cutting
Mounting: Suited for clamp-style turning toolholders
High-precision external and internal turning
Finishing cuts in stainless steel, aluminum, and exotic alloys
Profiling and taper machining
Interrupted finishing on shafts, bores, and complex geometries
VNMG inserts are available in high-performance materials such as:
Carbide – For high wear resistance and edge durability
Cermet – For exceptional surface finish in low-heat conditions
Coatings:
CVD (TiCN, Al₂O₃, TiN) – For continuous cutting at high speeds
PVD (TiAlN, AlTiN) – For interrupted cuts and edge toughness
Uncoated – Ideal for precision dry cutting or fine finish requirements

Perfect inserts for machinists seeking high surface quality and tool reliability
VNMG inserts are primarily used for high-precision turning, profiling, and finishing in CNC lathes, especially in tight tolerance applications.
VNMG = V: 55° diamond shape, N: 0° relief angle, M: medium tolerance, G: chipbreaker/clamp configuration.
They can machine steel, stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, and other exotic alloys used in precision engineering.
Yes, VNMG inserts are ideal for finishing due to their acute angle and sharp cutting edge.
Each VNMG insert has 4 cutting edges (2 per side).
VNMG inserts are 55° and sharper, better for finishing; CNMG inserts are 80° and stronger, ideal for roughing.
Yes, their shape makes them excellent for both internal and external profiling and taper machining.
Yes, they are available with PVD and CVD coatings like TiN, TiAlN, and Al₂O₃ depending on material and application.
Common chipbreakers include MF, VP, PF for fine finishing, and MM for light roughing.
