VCMT 160404 GT9530 – ISO turning insert (coated cermet, PSS chipbreaker) by Tungaloy

The VCMT 160404 GT9530 is an ISO‑format rhombic turning insert designed for finishing to light universal turning, offering a coated cermet grade optimised for steel under stable machining conditions

• Coated cermet GT9530 for improved wear resistance
• PSS chipbreaker for finishing and light turning
• Rhombic ISO VCMT 160404, 0.4 mm corner radius
• Cylindrical hole + 40°–60° countersink, 7° clearance

Higher surface quality and longer tool life for finishing operations

The insert delivers a consistent combination of surface finish and tool life thanks to the GT9530 cermet grade and its protective coating. Cermet cutting materials are engineered to combine the hardness of ceramics with the toughness of metal binders; this translates into better abrasion resistance and superior edge integrity when turning steel under steady process conditions. The PSS chipbreaker is tuned for light to finishing cuts, reducing chip entanglement and promoting predictable chip flow, which supports repeatable part quality and less frequent tool changes. Emphasis is placed on measurable benefits such as reduced rework and longer intervals between insert changes.

Accurate fit and predictable clamping for secure machining

Compatibility with the toolholder is determined by form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness; the rhombic ISO shape and standard hole geometry of this insert ensure reliable seating in ISO‑type external holders. Key dimensions—16 mm inscribed size, 4.76 mm plate thickness and 0.4 mm corner radius—contribute to consistent positioning and cutting geometry. The 7° clearance supports stable cutting engagement while the cylindrical hole with one‑sided countersink (40°–60°) simplifies secure fastening and repeatable indexing. Clear, standardised mechanical interfaces minimise assembly time and reduce vibration risk, supporting more stable cutting conditions and enhanced process control.

Selection guidance and application scope for production planning

Choose this insert where finishing or light universal turning of steel is required and where stable machining set‑ups are present. The coated cermet formulation is particularly suited to jobs prioritising surface integrity and longer wear life rather than heavy roughing. For mixed tasks, matching the PSS chipbreaker and GT9530 grade to the workpiece material and cutting data is essential; softer, interrupted or unstable cuts may call for a different geometry or grade. Where process reliability is critical, specify the ISO‑standard insert form to ensure interchangeability between holders, simplify inventory and standardise tool change procedures.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The VCMT 160404 GT9530 is specified for turning steel, with the GT9530 coated cermet grade providing enhanced wear resistance for finishing and light universal applications.

How does the PSS chipbreaker affect performance?
The PSS chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation during finishing cuts; with the GT9530 grade it helps maintain surface quality and reduces risk of chip interference in stable machining conditions.

Is the insert compatible with standard ISO holders?
Yes, the insert follows ISO dimensions and hole geometry (cylindrical hole + 40°–60° countersink), allowing secure clamping in ISO‑type external holders when the holder matches the insert form and tolerance class.

What cutting geometry is offered for edge integrity?
This rhombic insert provides a 0.4 mm corner radius and a 7° clearance angle, designed to balance edge strength and surface finish during finishing operations.

Which SKU should be ordered for this item?
Order using SKU 6998411‑Tungaloy or manufacturer SKU TUN6998411 to ensure the correct VCMT160404‑PSS GT9530 item is supplied.
