Mitsubishi 10561096 Vcmt Carbide Turning Insert

Product Description

The MITSUBISHI 10561096 is a VCMT-style indexable carbide turning insert designed for precision external and internal turning operations on CNC and manual lathes. It features a rhombic insert shape (V) with a 35-degree included angle, a 7-degree relief angle (clearance code C), and a 0.40 mm corner radius. The insert is manufactured from carbide with a PVD coating and carries the manufacturer grade MP9015, making it suited for demanding cutting applications where edge integrity and wear resistance matter. Two cutting edges are available per insert. It is installed by machinists and CNC operators in production and job-shop environments.

This insert is intended for turning applications where a sharp, low-included-angle geometry is required, such as finishing passes on workpieces with tight clearance requirements or contoured profiles. The VCMT style with neutral hand orientation fits a wide range of standard turning toolholders. The LS chip breaker geometry assists in chip control during light-to-medium cutting conditions. It is packaged individually and sold in multiples of 10.

Key Features

• VCMT insert style with 35-degree included angle for sharp, low-force cutting geometry
• PVD-coated carbide grade MP9015 for wear resistance and edge toughness
• 0.40 mm (1/64 inch) corner radius for precise finishing operations
• 7-degree relief angle (clearance code C) with tolerance code M
• LS chip breaker for effective chip control in light-to-medium cuts
• Neutral hand orientation — compatible with standard VCMT toolholders
• 2 cutting edges per insert for extended tool life per unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit insert for standard VCMT-style indexable turning toolholders accepting inserts with a 0.250-inch (6.35 mm) inscribed circle and 0.125-inch insert thickness.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists using a torx or hex key to seat the insert securely in the toolholder pocket. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Inspect the toolholder pocket and clamping screw for wear or debris before seating a new insert. Handle carbide inserts with care — edges are sharp and the material is brittle.
