WNMG 060408 NS9530 Tungaloy indexable insert — ISO turning insert for finishing

The WNMG060408 NS9530 Tungaloy insert is an ISO‑standard, trigon indexable insert developed for external and internal turning, optimised as a finishing grade for steel with low cutting forces and high surface quality.

• Trigon WNMG 060408 format
• Uncoated cermet NS9530 grade
• 0.8 mm corner radius for fine finishing
• Double-sided chipbreaker, cylindrical hole

High-precision finishing with low cutting forces

The NS9530 grade is an uncoated cermet developed for finishing operations on steel; its sharp cutting edge and tailored composition reduce cutting forces and improve surface integrity. For shops targeting fine surface tolerances, this geometry supports continuous cuts and small depths of cut, reducing the need for secondary operations. The combination of cermet cutting material and the insert’s geometry results in a stable cutting action that maintains dimensional conformity across long runs.

Smooth integration into ISO indexable systems

This insert follows ISO conventions for shape and size, enabling straightforward replacement in compatible holders. The trigon shape and the presence of a cylindrical hole for positive locating ensure secure clamping and repeatable seating. Compatibility with a holder is governed by shape, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixation method, size and thickness; selecting a matching clamping system reduces setup time and minimises runout, which directly benefits process reliability and reduces scrap rates.

Geometry tuned for consistent surface finish and economy

A 0.8 mm corner radius provides a balanced contact zone for finishing cuts, improving workpiece finish without introducing excessive cutting edge stress. The insert’s double‑sided chipbreaker allows economical use of both faces where applicable, extending effective tool life per physical insert and lowering part cost. With a 4.76 mm thickness and a 0° clearance angle, the geometry is optimised for controlled chip formation and steady tool behaviour during finishing passes.

Application guidance for turning operations

Designed primarily for turning, the insert is suitable for both external and internal operations where a finishing grade is required. Its strengths lie in delivering excellent surface quality on steel in continuous feed conditions; for interrupted cuts or heavy roughing, a different grade or geometry should be chosen. Shops seeking predictable results and stable production flow will value the balance of precision, repeatability and cost‑efficiency that this insert brings to finishing cycles.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The NS9530 uncoated cermet grade is optimised for steel finishing; the WNMG060408 insert performs best in continuous cutting conditions and small depths of cut.

Is the insert reversible or single-use per side?
The insert features a double‑sided chipbreaker, allowing use of both cutting edges where the holder and setup permit, improving economy per insert.

Which holders are compatible with this ISO format?
Compatibility is determined by shape, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixation, size and thickness; ISO‑standard holders sized for WNMG 060408 formats will accept this insert when specifications match.

What surface finish improvements can be expected?
The combination of a sharp cermet edge and a 0.8 mm corner radius supports low cutting forces and a refined surface texture compared with roughing geometries.

Does the insert include a hole for positive locating?
Yes — the insert is supplied with a cylindrical hole for secure positioning in the clamping system.
