“Upgrade your turning – longer edge life, faster feeds, and lower cost per part with Korloy VBMT160408-HMP PC9030!”

The Korloy VBMT160408-HMP PC9030 is a robust, diamond-shaped turning insert featuring a 35° geometry, 9.525 mm inscribed circle, 4.76 mm thickness, and a 0.8 mm corner radius. The PC9030 grade, with TiAlN PVD coating, is designed to withstand medium to heavy interruption cutting in stainless steel, delivering outstanding chipping and welding resistance. This results in longer edge life, smoother feeds, and reduced downtime. The insert is well-suited for tough turning tasks in automotive, aerospace, die & mold, and general engineering industries, where durability and precision are essential.

Key Features

  • Geometry: VBMT160408 – 35° diamond-shaped, neutral hand, positive insert with:

    • Inscribed circle (IC): 9.525 mm

    • Thickness: 4.76 mm

    • Corner radius (RE): 0.8 mm 

  • Grade & Coating: PC9030 – a PVD TiAlN-coated grade formulated for medium to heavy roughing, interrupted cuts in stainless steels. Offers exceptional chipping and welding resistance for stable machining.

  • Cutting Application: External turning and boring of stainless steel and exotic materials, especially under interrupted and heavy cutting conditions.

Why It's a Best Seller

  • Longer Tool Life & Less Downtime: PC9030 coating enhances edge durability under heavy, interrupted cuts, meaning fewer tool changes and more uptime.

  • Excellent Surface Finish: The sharp, positive geometry delivers clean, consistent finishes—even at higher feed rates—with minimal chatter.

  • Reliable Performance: Built for tough material removal, it excels in demanding turning operations, maintaining stability and precision.

Ideal

  • Automotive – turning shafts, sleeves, and housings from stainless variants
