VNMG160408 AT9530 – Tungaloy rhombic indexable insert for turning, coated cermet, 0.8 mm radius

The VNMG160408 AT9530 is an ISO-format rhombic indexable insert designed for external and internal turning, optimised for finishing and light machining of steel.

• Coated cermet grade AT9530 for fine finishes
• Rhombic 16 mm format, 35° cutting angle
• 0.8 mm corner radius for precise profile
• Double-sided chipbreaker with cylindrical hole

Superior surface quality through optimised material choice

The coated cermet grade AT9530 delivers a measurable advantage when the priority is surface finish and even wear across the cutting edge. Cermet combines ceramic and metallic binder phases to give a hard, wear-resistant cutting face while remaining less prone to built-up edge than conventional carbides in finishing operations. This results in consistent surface finish and extended intervals between regrinds or indexings, making the component flow more reliable and reducing secondary operations.

Cost-effective edge utilisation and system compatibility

The rhombic ISO format and double-sided geometry enable efficient use of each insert, doubling the number of indexable edges compared with single-sided designs and reducing per-edge cost. The plate’s 16 mm size, 4.76 mm thickness and cylindrical hole ensure stable clamping when used with compatible holders; compatibility depends on form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening and thickness. As a consequence, the insert integrates into established tool systems with straightforward replacement cycles and predictable tool life.

Practical guidance for application and machining stability

The insert’s 0.8 mm corner radius and 35° cutting angle favour light-cut finishing passes on steel, where dimensional accuracy and surface appearance are critical. The double-sided chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation during lower-depth-of-cut operations, while the nominal 0° relief angle in the plate designation requires the holder to provide the necessary clearance. Select a holder and clamping set that match the ISO geometry to maintain cutting stability and avoid unnecessary vibrations; modest feeds and moderate cutting speeds are recommended for the best compromise between finish and productivity.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for? The VNMG160408 AT9530 is optimised for machining steel in finishing and light-roughing operations; the coated cermet grade AT9530 emphasises surface quality and even wear.

How many usable cutting edges are available per insert? The insert is double-sided, providing multiple indexable edges and thereby improving cost efficiency per cutting edge.

Which tool holders are compatible with this insert? Compatibility is determined by ISO form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; select a matching ISO turning holder and clamping set for stable operation.

What advantages does the AT9530 coating offer? AT9530 provides a wear-resistant, fine-cutting surface that helps maintain consistent surface finish and reduces built-up edge during finishing passes.

Is the insert suitable for internal turning as well as external turning? Yes, the geometry and ISO format of this rhombic insert permit use in both external and internal turning applications when paired with an appropriate holder and clamping system.
