The VBMT insert can equip with multiple chip breakers to deal with finishing, semi-finishing, and roughing works.
We also develop various applicable coatings to enhance productivity.
Key Features of VBGT Inserts
Shape:
V:Rhombic (diamond-shaped) with a 35° included angle. This sharp angle offers strength at the cutting tip and allows for versatility.
Clearance Angle:
B:5° relief angle (clearance angle). This ensures the insert doesn’t rub on the workpiece.
Other Features
Positive Rake Angle:The cutting face slopes slightly forward from the cutting edge, providing smoother cutting and lower cutting forces, suitable for softer materials or low-power machines.
Chipbreakers:VBMt inserts often feature chipbreaker geometries to control chip formation and flow.
Coatings:They can be coated with materials like TiN, AlTiN, etc., to improve wear resistance and tool life.

Understanding the VBMT Code
Here’s what the letters and numbers in the VBMt designation mean:
V:35° rhombic shape
B:5° relief angle (clearance angle)
M:Tolerance class (indicates precision of the size)
T:Can indicate hole type and chipbreaker design (varies by manufacturer)
Numbers:
Usually the first two numbers represent the inscribed circle (size of the diamond) in sixteenths of an inch (or directly in millimeters for ISO codes).
The third number represents thickness in sixteenths of an inch.
The last number often indicates the nose radius (smaller means sharper).
The Science Behind Carbide Inserts: How They're Made and Why They're So Strong
Carbide inserts are some of the most versatile and durable cutting tools available. But how are they made? And what makes them so strong? In this video, we’ll explore the science behind carbide inserts, from the properties of tungsten carbide to the manufacturing process.
