VBMT 160404 NS9530 — ISO turning insert, uncoated cermet, for finishing by Tungaloy

The VBMT160404-PSF NS9530 is an ISO‑standard rhombic turning insert designed for finishing cuts in steel, offering a sharp cutting edge and low cutting forces for continuous, small-depth turning.

• Finishing-grade uncoated cermet
• Sharp cutting edge for fine surface
• Optimised PSF chipbreaker for continuous cuts

High-precision finishing for steel turning

The VBMT160404‑PSF NS9530 is engineered as a finishing solution for steel turning where surface quality and low cutting forces matter. The uncoated cermet grade NS9530 provides a sharp, wear-resistant cutting edge that reduces built-up edge and produces a fine surface without aggressive cutting parameters. The rhombic geometry combined with an approach angle of 35° and a rake (clearance) angle of 5° ensures a stable chip flow and low radial load, which benefits machines and workpieces alike. For operations with small depths of cut and continuous feeds, this insert helps maintain dimensional accuracy and consistent surface finish while keeping cutting forces manageable.

Efficiency and repeatability in production

Designed for repeatable performance in series production, the insert’s PSF chipbreaker controls chip formation for uninterrupted turning and eases evacuation in long runs. The ISO conformity of the geometry means interchangeability with standard holders when shape, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening and thickness are matched, simplifying tool changeover and inventory. The combination of a sharp cermet cutting edge and the PSF chipbreaker reduces the need for secondary finishing passes, improving throughput and offering a favourable cost‑per‑part ratio in finishing operations on steel.

Simple integration and practical handling on the shop floor

The insert is supplied in a conventional ISO format with a rhombic shape, 16 mm inscribed circle, 4.76 mm thickness and a 0.4 mm corner radius, enabling reliable clamping and predictable cutting engagement. The cylindrical hole with a single‑sided countersink (40°–60°) supports secure fastening and repeatable seating in compatible holders. For application planning, document the material to be machined, choose appropriate feeds and speeds for a finishing cermet, and verify holder compatibility by matching form, clearance angle and tolerance class. If application parameters need clarifying, Metav Werkzeuge can provide cutting data and compatibility advice.

FAQ

Which holders are compatible with this insert?
Compatibility depends on holder form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness; the VBMT160404‑PSF NS9530 fits standard ISO rhombic holders that accept VBMT 160404 inserts.

For which materials is this grade recommended?
The NS9530 grade is a finishing cermet developed for steel; it excels in continuous cuts with small depths of cut and aims to deliver high surface quality.

What benefits does the PSF chipbreaker provide?
The PSF chipbreaker on the VBMT160404‑PSF NS9530 promotes controlled chip formation for continuous turning, reducing interruptions and improving surface consistency.

How should cutting data be adjusted for this cermet insert?
Use finishing parameters with modest depths of cut and appropriate feeds; the sharp cermet edge of the VBMT160404‑PSF NS9530 favours moderate cutting speeds and feeds optimised for surface finish rather than aggressive metal removal.

How is the insert identified for ordering and traceability?
Order using the manufacturer article number 6998578 or SKU 6998578‑Tungaloy to ensure the correct VBMT160404‑PSF NS9530 insert is supplied.
