YNMG 160404 NS9530 Turning Insert by Tungaloy

The YNMG 160404 NS9530 is an ISO-standard turning insert designed for finishing steel, offering a sharp cutting edge, low cutting forces and excellent surface quality in continuous turning operations.

• ISO‑standard YNMG 160404 geometry
• Uncoated cermet NS9530 for fine finishing
• Sharp cutting edge for low cutting forces
• Double‑sided chipbreaker, cylindrical hole

Consistent fine finishing with reduced cutting forces

The finishing grade is based on uncoated cermet NS9530, a composition selected to produce a sharp cutting edge and stable performance during light, continuous cuts. This combination reduces the mechanical load on the tool, which translates into lower cutting forces and an improved part surface without aggressive feeds. The modest 0.4 mm corner radius supports narrow profiles and precision features, while the plate’s geometry helps maintain tool life under steady finishing conditions.

Predictable fit and secure clamping for repeatable results

As an ISO standard plate, compatibility with holders is dictated by form, clearance, tolerance class, fastening and thickness; the insert’s 4.76 mm thickness and cylindrical hole ensure secure clamping in standard external holders or boring bars. Correct mating between insert and toolholder reduces set-up variation and runout, which directly benefits part-to-part consistency and reduces scrap. The size 16 designation aligns with common holder ranges for straightforward integration into existing tooling systems.

Stable chip control and productivity in continuous turning

A double-sided chipbreaker design promotes uniform chip formation when machining steels in continuous cuts with small depths of cut. This chip management reduces the risk of entanglement and improves surface finish, meaning fewer interruptions for cleaning or rework. Using a finishing cermet in this configuration often results in longer intervals between tool changes and a more stable machining cycle, helping to sustain production throughput without compromising quality.

Practical selection guidance and application notes

The insert is optimised for turning steel in finishing applications; being uncoated, the grade performs best with continuous cuts and modest feeds rather than heavy interrupted work. When selecting a holder pair and clamping kit, match the insert’s geometry, clearance angle 0°, and tolerance class to the holder specifications. For assured results, pair the insert with holders specified for YNMG geometry and verify fastening torque and seat cleanliness before operation. The combination of material choice and plate design offers a dependable solution for precise surface requirements and repeatable finishing performance.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The NS9530 finishing grade is intended primarily for steel applications; the YNMG 160404 NS9530 Tungaloy turning insert provides a fine surface finish and is optimised for continuous cuts and small depths of cut.

Can this insert be used for interrupted cuts?
The uncoated cermet grade is best for continuous finishing operations; interrupted or heavily variable cutting conditions may reduce edge life compared with grades designed for roughing.

Which toolholders are compatible with this insert?
Compatibility depends on ISO YNMG geometry, the 4.76 mm thickness and the cylindrical hole; holders specified for YNMG inserts and matching tolerance classes provide reliable clamping for the Tungaloy YNMG160404 plate.

How does the chipbreaker affect machining behaviour?
The double-sided chipbreaker promotes stable chip formation during continuous turning, improving surface quality and reducing the need for frequent intervention when machining steel with small depths of cut.

Is the insert coated?
No, the NS9530 grade for this insert is an uncoated cermet, chosen to deliver a sharp cutting edge and superior finish in light finishing operations.
