Mitsubishi 10576588 Vcgt Carbide Turning Insert

Product Description

The MITSUBISHI 10576588 is a VCGT-style carbide turning insert designed for precision metal cutting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Featuring a rhombic insert shape with a 35-degree included angle and a 7-degree relief angle, this insert is engineered for light finishing and fine finishing passes where tight tolerances and superior surface finish are required. The 0.40 mm corner radius and PVD coating combine to support consistent cutting performance on a range of workpiece materials. With two cutting edges per insert, machinists get extended tool life per unit. The MP9015 grade designation indicates suitability for demanding finishing applications.

This insert is intended for use in turning applications where fine surface finishes and accurate dimensional control are critical. The VCGT style with a neutral hand orientation fits a wide range of standard toolholders used in production and job-shop turning environments. The LS chip breaker geometry supports chip control during light finishing cuts. This insert suits residential machine shops, production facilities, and toolrooms running CNC or manual turning equipment on ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Key Features

• VCGT insert style with rhombic shape and 35-degree included angle for acute-angle turning
• 0.40 mm (1/64 inch) corner radius for fine finishing and tight-radius contour work
• 7-degree relief angle (clearance code C) for reduced cutting forces on finishing passes
• PVD coating over carbide substrate for wear resistance and edge integrity
• MP9015 manufacturer grade optimized for finishing-cut applications
• LS chip breaker geometry for controlled chip formation at light depths of cut
• Neutral hand orientation compatible with standard VCGT toolholders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit insert for standard VCGT-style turning toolholders accepting a 1/4-inch inscribed circle insert with a 1/8-inch insert thickness.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician familiar with indexable insert tooling. Power down and lock out the machine before seating or indexing the insert. Ensure the toolholder pocket and clamp are clean and free of chips before installing the insert to maintain proper seating and edge alignment. Follow the toolholder manufacturer's clamping torque guidelines and do not over-torque the clamp screw.
