• 60° triangular shape with 0.4 mm radius

Achieve superior surface finish with a cermet cutting grade

The combination of a coated cermet cutting material and a carefully controlled corner radius delivers a measurable improvement in surface quality during finishing passes. Cermet grades are engineered to retain hardness at elevated temperatures and to produce a fine, stable cutting edge; this results in a uniform wear pattern and reduced burr formation on turned parts. The specified 0.4 mm corner radius supports low-vibration engagement in light cuts, helping to maintain dimensional accuracy and to reduce the need for rework. Where surface appearance and repeatability matter, this insert provides a balance between edge strength and a fine cutting action.

Stable chip control and consistent process reliability

A double-sided chipbreaker combined with the insert’s geometry improves chip formation and evacuation in a range of turning conditions. Consistent chip control reduces the risk of chip packing and tool interference, which in turn lowers machine downtime and scrap rates. The insert is manufactured to ISO dimensional standards so that clamping, tolerance class and form determine holder compatibility; the presence of a cylindrical central hole permits secure fastening and precise seating in matched toolholders. For production environments that prioritise cycle stability and predictable tool life, the insert’s features support continuous, repeatable machining.

Easy integration into ISO tooling systems for cost-efficiency

Designed as an ISO TNMG format, the insert fits established indexable tool systems when paired with the appropriate holder and clamping kit. Key dimensional data such as 16 mm inscribed circle, 4.76 mm thickness and 60° included angle simplify selection of compatible holders and reduce inventory complexity. The insert’s coated cermet AT9530 chemistry is intended for finishing and light turning of steel, making it possible to consolidate grades across similar applications and to lower tooling costs through predictable edge life. Choosing a single, defined insert family for finish operations can shorten set-up times and improve overall process economy.

Practical handling, indexing and application notes

The triangular plate form provides multiple indexable edges and, when combined with the double-sided chipbreaker, increases the total number of usable cutting edges before disposal. With a relief angle of 0°, the insert suits a broad range of external and internal turning set-ups; however, correct selection of holder geometry and cutting parameters remains essential to exploit the grade’s advantages. Light finishing cuts at moderate feeds and cutting speeds appropriate for cermet grades yield the best surface results. For unfamiliar applications, testing under representative conditions is recommended to identify the optimal combination of speed, feed and depth of cut.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert suited for?
The TNMG160404 AT9530 insert is optimised for finishing and light turning of steel, with the coated cermet grade providing a fine cutting edge and uniform wear for improved surface quality.

How many indexable edges are available on the plate?
Due to the triangular plate form and double-sided construction, the insert offers multiple usable cutting edges; this extends cost-effective life before replacement of the TNMG160404 AT9530.

What determines compatibility with a toolholder?
Compatibility depends on insert form, relief angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness; the ISO TNMG format and the 16 mm inscribed circle simplify selection of matching holders.

Is the chipbreaker suitable for mixed turning operations?
The double-sided chipbreaker supports predictable chip formation in finishing and light operations; selection of an alternative chipbreaker style is advised when heavier roughing cuts are required.

What is the recommended approach to set cutting data?
Begin with conservative speeds and feeds appropriate for cermet grades, then adjust to achieve the desired surface finish and stable chip form; request Metav Werkzeuge cutting data for application-specific guidance.
