VBMT 160404 AT9530 – ISO turning insert for finishing, PS chipbreaker (Tungaloy)

A VBMT 160404 AT9530 ISO turning insert designed for finishing and light machining of steel, optimised for superior surface quality and even wear.

• ISO‑standard rhombic insert, size 16
• Cermet grade AT9530 for fine finishing
• PS chipbreaker for stable chip control
• 0.4 mm corner radius, 5° clearance

Improved surface finish and uniform wear for finishing passes

The coated cermet grade AT9530 offers a balance between hardness and toughness that is tailored for finishing and light turning of steel. The fine-grained coating reduces flank wear and helps maintain a sharp cutting edge for longer intervals, which translates into a more consistent surface finish and fewer reworks. For operations prioritising dimensional accuracy and appearance, this insert provides the advantage of stable edge condition rather than high-volume roughing performance.

Predictable chip control and assured holder compatibility

Equipped with a PS chipbreaker, the insert promotes short, manageable chips during finishing and light cuts, reducing the risk of entanglement and improving process stability. The insert is ISO‑compatible in form and size; compatibility with a toolholder depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness. Key geometric data such as the 0.4 mm corner radius, 5° clearance and rhombic profile ensure predictable engagement and facilitate straightforward replacement in standard holders.

Practical benefits for production efficiency and setup clarity

A compact plate thickness of 4.76 mm combined with the rhombic shape and the central hole with cylindrical bore and one‑side countersink (40°–60°) enables secure clamping and repeatable positioning, supporting stable machining cycles. The modest corner radius reduces the tendency to notch or chip under finishing conditions, extending useful life in precision work. Selecting this insert for finishing operations contributes to lower touch‑up time and a calmer process window, which benefits throughput and parts quality.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The VBMT 160404 AT9530 is specified for finishing and light machining of steel; its coated cermet grade is optimised to deliver improved surface quality and uniform wear when turning steel.

How does the PS chipbreaker affect machining?
The PS chipbreaker promotes short, controlled chips during finishing passes, enhancing process stability and reducing the likelihood of chip interference with the workpiece or tool.

Which holder features must be checked for compatibility?
Compatibility depends on insert form, clearance angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness; the rhombic VBMT form, 16 mm size and 4.76 mm thickness are standard ISO parameters to match against the holder.

Can the 0.4 mm corner radius be used for light profiling?
Yes, the 0.4 mm corner radius is suitable for finishing profiles and helps reduce edge chipping while maintaining good surface quality.

Is the insert suitable for automated tool changes in production cells?
The insert’s ISO form, central hole and standard thickness support repeatable clamping and straightforward replacement, which is compatible with automated tool change systems that accept ISO rhombic plates.
