VCMT 160404 GT9530 — ISO turning insert, coated cermet, PS chipbreaker | Tungaloy

The VCMT160404‑PS GT9530 is an ISO‑standard rhombic turning insert designed for finishing and light universal turning of steel where surface quality and tool life are priorities

• ISO rhombic insert VCMT 160404 PS chipbreaker
• Coated cermet grade GT9530 for longer life
• 7° clearance and 35° approach angle for stability
• Cylindrical hole with single‑side countersink 40°–60°

Precise finishing with durable cermet technology

The VCMT160404‑PS GT9530 combines a coated cermet cutting material with a geometry geared towards finishing and light universal turning. The GT9530 grade delivers extended tool life under stable set‑ups while maintaining a fine surface finish, reducing the need for secondary passes. Cermet grades are designed to resist abrasive wear and to preserve a sharp cutting edge; this means fewer interruptions for insert changes and a more consistent part quality across production runs.

Predictable chip control for consistent productivity

The PS chipbreaker offers controlled chip formation at finishing feeds and moderate depths of cut, helping to avoid entanglement and irregular chip shapes that can harm surface integrity. The combination of chipbreaker and grade promotes a short, curlable chip under recommended conditions, so cycle times remain stable and disposal is safer. The insert’s cylindrical hole with a 40°–60° countersink assures reliable clamping and repeatable positioning in standard screw‑clamp holders.

Straightforward ISO compatibility and secure clamping

Manufactured to ISO dimensions, the rhombic shape and precise tolerances simplify retrofitting into existing holder systems when form, clearance angle, tolerance class, attachment method, size and thickness match. Key geometry values such as 35° approach angle, 7° clearance angle, radius 0.4 mm and 4.76 mm thickness support stable cutting behaviour and predictable tool engagement. These characteristics make the insert suitable for both external and internal facing operations when used with an appropriate holder and set‑up.

Recommended applications and machining guidance

This grade and geometry are optimised for machining steel in finishing or light universal operations where excellent surface quality and consistent edge life are required. For best results, select the chipbreaker and grade that match workpiece material, machine rigidity and cutting parameters; the combination of a stable set‑up and the GT9530 coating yields repeatable results and reduced scrap rates. When in doubt about the best chipbreaker or cutting data for a specific job, Metav Werkzeuge can provide tailored recommendations.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert best suited for?
The GT9530 grade is formulated for machining steel in finishing to light universal turning; the VCMT160404‑PS insert performs well where a fine surface finish and longer tool life are required.

How does the PS chipbreaker influence machining behaviour?
The PS chipbreaker promotes short, controllable chips at finishing feeds, improving surface integrity and enabling safer chip handling with the VCMT160404‑PS GT9530 insert.

What must be checked for holder compatibility?
Compatibility depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, attachment, size and thickness; ensure the ISO‑standard rhombic geometry and the 4.76 mm thickness match the chosen holder before fitting.

Is the insert suitable for internal and external turning?
Yes; the geometry and chipbreaker suit both external and internal operations, provided the holder and set‑up offer sufficient rigidity for finishing cuts with the GT9530 grade.

What are the identifying codes for ordering?
Order using the model designation VCMT160404‑PS GT9530 or the article number 6998416; the manufacturer SKU is TUN6998416.
