VBMT 160408 AT9530 ISO turning insert for turning – PS chipbreaker, 0.8 mm radius (Tungaloy)

VBMT160408-PS AT9530 is an ISO turning insert designed for finishing and light turning of Stahl, optimised for high surface quality and uniform wear

• Coated cermet grade AT9530
• 0.8 mm corner radius for fine finish
• PS chipbreaker for finishing cuts
• ISO rhombic 16 format, cylindrical hole

High-quality finish with predictable wear

The coated cermet AT9530 is designed for finishing and light machining, delivering a consistently high surface finish and uniform wear behaviour. Its coating and substrate combination reduce microchipping and maintain edge integrity over repeated cycles, which cuts variability in finishing operations and lowers the need for frequent tool changes. The result is a more predictable machining process and fewer downstream quality checks.

Seamless integration into ISO turning systems

The insert conforms to ISO geometry and the VBMT form, so compatibility with standard turning holders is determined by insert shape, clearance angle and thickness. The cylindrical hole with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°) ensures secure clamping and accurate positioning in many commercial holders. For workshop logistics, this compatibility simplifies tool inventory management and enables rapid retrofitting into existing turning tool systems.

Controlled chips and stable light machining

Equipped with the PS chipbreaker, this insert promotes short, controllable chips in finishing cuts, improving process security and reducing the risk of surface damage. The 0.8 mm corner radius paired with a 5° clearance angle and a 35° lead/approach angle produces low cutting forces and stable contact conditions, which benefits thin-walled components and precision shafts during external and internal turning.

Practical selection guidance for production use

Select the PS chipbreaker and the AT9530 grade when the priority is surface quality on Stahl and steady, repeatable tool life. The system concept includes the ISO insert, a matching external holder or boring bar, a shim/clamping set and spare screws for continuous operation. For varied workpiece stability, choose a chipbreaker and feed that balance cutting engagement and machine rigidity to preserve the desired finish with minimal dressing.

FAQ

What applications suit this insert best?
The VBMT160408-PS AT9530 is intended for finishing and light turning tasks, especially where a high surface finish on Stahl is required.

How does the PS chipbreaker affect machining?
The PS chipbreaker on this Tungaloy insert produces short, manageable chips during finishing cuts, improving process reliability and protecting delicate surfaces.

Is this insert compatible with standard holders?
Yes, the ISO geometry and the cylindrical hole with countersink make the insert compatible with common ISO turning holders when form and thickness match.

Which material groups can be machined with this grade?
The AT9530 coated cermet is optimised for Stahl; choose a different grade if the primary workpiece material differs significantly from Stahl.

What system components are required for installation?
A matching external holder or boring bar, an appropriate shim/clamping set and the correct replacement screws are required for proper assembly.
