VCGT110304 110302 110308-AK H01 CNC 35 Degree Single-sided Alloy Turning Insert Blade

This CNC turning insert blade is a practical choice for machinists working with aluminium and other alloy materials. Its single-sided, 35-degree design helps reduce cutting forces and provides good chip control during both finishing and roughing passes. The blade is made from alloy material, chosen for its hardness and ability to hold an edge under typical CNC turning conditions. Available in three nose radius sizes, it can be matched to different surface finish requirements and depth-of-cut settings. Ideal for workshops that need a simple, replaceable cutting edge for lathe operations.

Features and Construction

The blade is built around a standard VCGT geometry with a single-sided cutting face and a precision-ground chipbreaker.

Material and Build

The insert is manufactured from alloy material, offering a good balance of toughness and wear resistance for machining aluminium and similar metals. It features a ground cutting edge and a plain top surface for reliable chip evacuation.

Size and Practical Fit

The blade is available in three nose radius options: VCGT110302 (R0.2) for fine finishing, VCGT110304 (R0.4) for general purpose fine turning, and VCGT110308 (R0.8) for roughing operations. The 35-degree point angle allows access to shallow internal profiles.

Uses and Placement

This insert is designed for use with compatible VCGT or VBGT tool holders on CNC lathes and turning centres.

Event or Professional Use

Suitable for production machining of aluminium parts, particularly in automotive, aerospace, and general engineering environments where consistent cutting edge geometry is required.

Everyday Home Use

Also practical for hobby machinists with a toolpost that accepts standard indexable inserts. The alloy material and sharp edge make it effective for light to medium cutting on non-ferrous metals.

Benefits and Buying Value

The main advantage of this blade is its replaceable nature and the ability to change nose radius without resetting tool offsets.

Reuse and Low Maintenance

Simply rotate or replace the insert when worn. No regrinding or sharpening required. The alloy construction provides a reliable service life under normal use.

Why Choose This Product

It offers a straightforward solution for turning aluminium with a single-sided insert. The multiple radius options and compatibility with common holders mean it fits easily into existing machining workflows.
