VCMT160408 GT9530 turning ISO insert — coated cermet, PS chipbreaker (Tungaloy)

A VCMT160408-PS GT9530 ISO turning indexable insert designed for finishing to light‑general turning of steel, offering high surface quality and consistent tool life in stable machining setups.

• Coated cermet grade GT9530
• PS chipbreaker for fine finishing
• Rhombic 16 mm insert, 4.76 mm thick
• 7° clearance angle for stable cuts

Consistent finishing performance for steel components

The rhombic indexable insert with a corner radius 0.8 mm is engineered to deliver reliable fine finishing on steel components. The coated cermet composition increases wear resistance compared with uncoated cermet grades, which translates into more consistent part quality over longer runs. Because the geometry is optimised for stable setups, the insert reduces vibration and improves surface finish, especially when a lower feed and light depth of cut are chosen. The combination of material and geometry therefore supports predictable process results and less frequent tool changes.

Precise chip control and predictable tool life

A dedicated PS chipbreaker manages chip formation for finishing passes, producing short, controllable chips that reduce the risk of material re‑cutting and protect the workpiece surface. Under appropriate cutting conditions, the GT9530 grade demonstrates extended tool life relative to standard finishing grades, helping to lower downtime and overhead for frequent insert changes. The insert’s clamping and hole design contribute to repeatable seating and stable cutting forces, which is beneficial for batch production and longer machining cycles.

Practical compatibility and easy integration into existing systems

The insert is made to the ISO series dimensions; compatibility with a holder is determined by form, 7° clearance angle, tolerance class, clamping method, 16 mm size and 4.76 mm thickness. The insert features a cylindrical hole with a single‑side countersink (40°–60°) to suit common securing systems. This standardisation enables quick replacement in many established toolholder systems without the need for special adapters, reducing setup complexity and supporting smooth production flow.

Where this insert brings real value

For operations requiring reliable finishing on steel—where consistent surface quality and longer intervals between index changes matter—this insert offers a cost‑effective solution through lower process variability and reduced rework. The design supports high process reliability when machine rigidity and toolholder stability are sufficient. If adaptability for different steels or more aggressive cutting is needed, selecting the appropriate chipbreaker and matching the GT9530 grade to the application ensures optimum results. The Tungaloy production pedigree adds an assurance of consistent manufacturing quality and material homogeneity.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The VCMT160408-PS GT9530 is intended primarily for steel finishing operations and performs best under stable cutting conditions.

How does the PS chipbreaker affect machining?
The PS chipbreaker produces short, controllable chips for finishing passes, improving surface integrity and reducing the risk of re‑cutting.

What are the key dimensions to check for holder compatibility?
Verify insert size (16 mm), thickness (4.76 mm), corner radius (0.8 mm) and the 7° clearance angle when matching the insert to a holder.

Is the insert suitable for roughing cuts?
The GT9530 grade and PS chipbreaker are optimised for finishing to light‑duty universal turning; for heavy roughing applications a different grade or chipbreaker should be selected.

What is the article number and manufacturer SKU?
Article number 6998417, manufacturer SKU TUN6998417 for the Tungaloy VCMT160408-PS GT9530 insert.
