TNMG 160408 AT9530 Turn insert TNMG160408 for precision turning — Tungaloy

The TNMG160408 AT9530 insert is an ISO-indexable triangular turning insert engineered for fine and light finishing of steel components, prioritising surface integrity and uniform tool wear.

• ISO-indexed triangular insert TNMG160408
• Coated cermet grade AT9530 for fine finishing
• Double-sided chipbreaker for extended use
• 0.8 mm corner radius for superior surface quality

High-precision finishing for steel components

The coated cermet grade AT9530 is designed specifically for fine and light machining of steel, delivering a combination of refined surface results and consistent wear over repeated indexings. Cermet is a ceramic‑metal composite that offers a harder cutting edge than conventional carbides while maintaining toughness, which explains the improved finish when compared with standard grades. The 0.8 mm radius and 60° geometry support low‑vibration cutting, reducing the need for secondary finishing and ensuring predictable part quality even in medium‑ to high‑volume production.

Reliable indexable design and secure clamping

As an ISO-indexed insert, the TNMG160408 fits standard holders when form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness are matched. The triangular shape with a double-sided chipbreaker provides multiple indexable edges, improving tool life and lowering downtime for replacements. Compatibility is determined by mechanical fit rather than brand alone, so selecting a matching holder and correct clamping kit ensures process stability and repeatable positioning for batch production.

Improve throughput while maintaining surface standards

Selecting a finishing grade such as AT9530 helps to balance productivity and component quality: fewer tool changes, steadier cutting forces and reduced scrap rates contribute to a favourable cost profile in production runs. The insert’s coated cermet composition supports smooth chip flow during finishing operations, while the double-sided design extends usable life. For manufacturing environments focused on reliable part finish and predictable tool behaviour, this insert offers a practical route to higher overall equipment effectiveness.
