VCMT160404-PS 160404 NS9530 – ISO turning insert for Turning by Tungaloy

A VCMT160404-PS NS9530 ISO turning insert designed as a finishing-grade cermet for external and internal turning of steel.

• Finishing cermet grade NS9530
• Sharp cutting edge for superior surface finish
• Ideal for continuous cuts and small depths
• ISO 160404; 7° clearance; 0.4 mm radius

Consistent finishing and improved part quality

The uncoated cermet grade NS9530 delivers a finishing grade optimised for low cut forces and an exceptionally sharp cutting edge, which translates directly into better first-pass surface integrity and reduced secondary operations. In practice, this means fewer passes to reach dimensional tolerances and a superior surface finish on turned components made from steel. The combination of a small corner radius and the grade’s edge retention supports stable performance during continuous cuts and small depths of cut, enabling predictable cycle times and less scrap.

Reliable fit within ISO tool systems for straightforward integration

As an ISO-normed insert, the VCMT160404-PS is compatible with holders when form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness are matched. The rhombic geometry with a cylindrical hole and single-sided countersink (40°–60°) ensures secure clamping and repeatable seating in standard clamping systems. Key dimensions such as 16 mm inscribed circle, 4.76 mm thickness and the 0.4 mm corner radius make selection of the correct seat and screw straightforward, reducing setup time and promoting repeatable tool life across batches.

Practical application: when to choose this insert and how to use it

Select the VCMT160404-PS for finishing operations on steel where continuous cutting and small depths of cut dominate the cycle. Pair the insert’s PS chipbreaker with a stable holder and rigid workholding to exploit the grade’s low cutting forces and minimise vibration. For abrasive or interrupted cuts consider alternative grades; for high-feed or roughing tasks select a chipbreaker and geometry optimised for higher stock removal. For further parameter tuning or compatibility checks, Metav Werkzeuge’s technical team can advise on holders, clamping sets and spare screws to ensure the insert performs as intended.
