VBMT 160402 GT9530 – Turning insert (coated cermet, 35° geometry) by Tungaloy

VBMT160402-PS GT9530 is a rhombic ISO turning insert designed for finishing and light universal turning of steel, offering a coated cermet grade for improved surface quality and tool life

• Coated cermet grade GT9530 for long life
• Optimised for finishing and light turning
• 35° rhombic geometry with 0.2 mm corner radius
• Cylindrical hole plus single-sided countersink

Improved finishing performance with longer tool life

The coated cermet formulation delivers a balance between hardness and toughness that is particularly effective for finishing operations on steel. The GT9530 grade is engineered for extended tool life, reducing the frequency of index changes and supporting consistent batch quality. In practice, this means a smoother surface finish and fewer secondary operations; the insert’s wear resistance helps sustain dimensional accuracy over longer runs. The combination of a precise edge preparation and a stable substrate assists shops in reducing overall machining costs while maintaining required tolerances.

Reliable ISO fit and secure clamping for process repeatability

Designed to the ISO code 160402, the insert ensures compatibility with standard holders where form, relief, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness are matched. The ISO-standard form simplifies tool inventory and changeover. The rhombic plate with a 35° geometry and a 0.2 mm corner radius gives reliable engagement during external and internal turning. The cylindrical hole with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°) secures the insert in the clamp assembly, improving repeatability and reducing risk of movement under stable cutting conditions.

Practical benefits for stable cutting and predictable results

Using a chipbreaker suited to the material and operation is key; the PS chipbreaker on this grade supports controlled chip formation under stable setups, contributing to stable cutting and predictable cycle times. The plate thickness of 4.76 mm and the rhombic shape provide constructive support during cutting, which reduces vibration and improves surface integrity. For operations where good surface finish and longer insert life are required, the combination of geometry, grade and chip control reduces rework and increases productivity.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for? The GT9530-coated cermet insert is optimised for machining steel and is designed for finishing and light universal turning in stable conditions.

Which chipbreaker is fitted and what is its function? The insert uses the PS chipbreaker, which supports controlled chip formation for improved surface finish and machining stability in finishing applications.

How does the 35° geometry affect cutting performance? The 35° rhombic lead angle provides a favourable cutting force direction for finishing; it helps achieve a high-quality surface and consistent dimensional control when paired with a stable setup.

How is the insert fixed to the holder? The insert features a cylindrical hole with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°) for secure clamping in standard ISO-compatible holders, ensuring repeatable positioning and reduced movement during cutting.
