NIGEL has never been more excited to present the VNMG 331 Grooving Inserts! It is a special cutting tool meant for performing two operations - turning and facing. If you don’t know yet what turning and facing are, I wouldn’t worry! A Cutting Tool is a particular kind of tool used to change the shape and cut from materials like metal or plastic. Turning is when a part rotates around, and a tool removes material from the outside. Facing is when the tool performs flat surfaces in the ends of the part. Both of these methods are factory production tools
Now you may be asking yourself, wtf is so special about the VNMG 331 insert over any other tool? Well, it is designed to be smarter and speedier! VNMG = “V shape with chip breaker, Negative shape, Multi-layer coating, General purpose. It sounds complicated, but this long name really means this tool can save the day, a whole variety of jobs, and there’s a lot of different materials that it goes through, at a good range of speeds. The 331 gives us information of the insert size as well. It is approximately 3/8 of an inch wide and 1/8 of an inch thick. With this size, it becomes quite useful for various cutting work.
Cutting tools are essential for the manufacturing process. If you have the wrong tool, it may not cut well, and you will waste a lot of time repairing mistakes. The VNMG 331 Turning Inserts is optimized for smoother cuts. When it slices through metal or plastic, this means it leaves fewer jagged edges. With fewer rough edges, you don’t have to spend as much time polishing them later. Also, this tool is designed to outlast tons of other cutting tools. So you won’t have to change tools so quickly, giving you more time making actually the cool stuff you want to do!
Hill found that the VNMG 331 Carbide Inserts performed extremely well when cutting at higher speeds, as well. This is the reason factories emphasise making things fast, without wasting any money or time; a train of thought that ally moves after the standard and moves on the rail, exactly as pushing the same in and from a rail energy transport. The more you can produce single items, the more you can sell — so it is good for business! The problem is that quick-cutting is rough on the tool, and takes a toll on it. The VNMG 331 insert is precisely designed for this type of stress. It can keep producing high-quality cuts, even while working hard and fast. This makes it an invaluable tool for busy factories.
Thanks to the VNMG 331 insert, it is also creating better surface finish on the materials it was cutting. So when you produce a component of a machine, or some product, you want it to be physically appealing and functionally efficient. Surface finish: The surface finish is essentially the smoothness/ appearance of the surface after it has been cut. A better surface finish translates to improved function and final products that look more refined and professional. If you want your stuff to be noticed and of a high standard, then this is absolutely crucial.
Last but not least, the VNMG 331 insert has been built to endure for a long time. Over time, especially when cutting tools are used frequently and on hard materials, they might wear out as well. Tools get old and dull, and when they do, they need to be replaced, which costs time and money. VNMG 331 insert features a unique coating that allows it to remain tough and functional for a longer duration. This means you spend less time replacing tools and more time focused on making products that make you money.
