VCMT 160408 GT9530 – ISO turning insert (coated cermet, 0.8 mm corner radius) by Tungaloy

A VCMT160408-PF GT9530 rhombic ISO turning insert engineered for finishing and light universal turning, optimised for steel machining under stable conditions

• Coated cermet GT9530 for wear resistance
• ISO rhombic 16 mm size, 4.76 mm thickness
• 0.8 mm corner radius for fine surface finish
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

Consistent surface finish and predictable results

The GT9530 coated cermet grade is designed to deliver stable cutting and an improved surface finish in finishing and light universal turning of steel. The small 0.8 mm corner radius helps reduce vibration at the cutting edge and supports a finer machined surface, which can lower downstream finishing effort. In practical terms, the grade’s wear characteristics lead to more predictable tool changes and reduced scrap rates, contributing directly to process reliability and overall efficiency.

Longer tool life and efficient machining in stable setups

The insert’s PF chipbreaker geometry and the hard, wear‑resistant cermet layer result in longer tool life where rigidity and consistent setup are maintained. Because the grade is optimised for stable cutting conditions, cycle times and tool consumption can be reduced when the machining environment is controlled. This translates into a favourable cost‑per‑part calculation for medium‑ to high‑volume batches and supports continuous production runs with fewer interruptions.

Seamless integration with ISO tooling systems

As an ISO rhombic insert, compatibility with holders is governed by form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The insert’s cylindrical hole with a 40°–60° countersink ensures secure clamping in many standard holders; the 35° lead angle and 7° relief provide the expected approach geometry for general turning tasks. Selection of an appropriate holder and stable clamping is essential to unlock the grade’s performance advantages and achieve repeatable results across workpieces.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The VCMT160408-PF GT9530 is formulated primarily for steel machining, offering a wear‑resistant cermet surface suited to finishing and light universal cuts in stable setups.

How does the GT9530 grade affect tool life?
The GT9530 coated cermet improves wear resistance compared with uncoated grades, which can extend tool life under stable cutting conditions and reduce overall tool consumption.

Which holder features are required for proper clamping?
Secure clamping requires a matching ISO holder that accommodates the VCMT160408-PF form, relief angle, tolerance class and the cylindrical hole with a 40°–60° countersink to ensure repeatable stability.

What surface finish can be expected with a 0.8 mm corner radius?
A 0.8 mm corner radius supports finer surface finishes in finishing passes by reducing edge vibration and producing more consistent microgeometry on the workpiece.

Is the insert delivered with matching hardware?
The article is an ISO insert; the complete system includes a suitable external holder or boring bar plus shim/clamp sets and replacement screws, which should be selected to match the VCMT160408-PF geometry and mounting requirements.
