TNMG160408 AT9530 Tungaloy indexable insert — Coated cermet for finishing, ISO 160408

The TNMG160408 AT9530 is an ISO triangular indexable insert for turning, optimised for finishing and light machining of steel with a focus on surface quality and uniform wear.

• ISO triangular insert TNMG form
• Coated cermet grade AT9530
• 0.8 mm corner radius for fine finish
• Double-sided chipbreaker, with cylindrical hole

Consistent surface quality and prolonged edge life

The combination of a coated cermet cutting grade and a precisely defined corner radius delivers measurable improvements in surface finish and edge stability. The AT9530 grade is developed for finishing and light cuts in steel, promoting uniform wear across the cutting edge and reducing the need for frequent edge changes. As a result, machining cycles become more predictable and set-up intervals are minimised, contributing directly to higher process efficiency and lower per-part production effort. The triangular form supports multiple indexed edges, extending effective tool life without compromising part quality.

Flawless integration into ISO-standard toolholders

Designed to conform to the ISO indexable insert system, compatibility depends on form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening and thickness. The insert features a 0° relief angle, an included angle of 60°, and a thickness of 4.76 mm, which together influence clamping stability and cutting geometry. The central cylindrical hole and the standard TNMG geometry allow straightforward clamping with the appropriate outside holder or boring bar; correct selection of the holder and underlay/clamping set ensures repeatable positioning and safe chip evacuation. Clear identification of these parameters avoids guesswork during tool assembly and supports consistent cutting results.

Productivity gains from a capable chipformer and grade

The double-sided chipbreaker provides controlled chip formation in light finishing operations, reducing the risk of irregular chip flow and contributing to stable cutting conditions. Because the grade emphasises surface quality, in many applications fewer finishing passes are required, which reduces cycle time and improves throughput. The insert’s multiple usable edges and reliable wear characteristics translate into a positive cost-benefit over production runs, making the component particularly suitable where surface integrity and process repeatability are priorities.

Well-suited for finishing steel and simple to specify

Intended primarily for turning of steel in finishing and light machining operations, the indexable insert offers practical advantages where dimensional accuracy and surface appearance matter. The 0.8 mm corner radius balances edge strength with the ability to produce fine profiles, while the triangular shape yields economical edge utilisation. When selecting this insert, match the AT9530 chipformer and the holder rigidity to the part geometry and clamping setup to exploit the grade’s strengths. Technical data such as the designation and size simplify procurement and ensure the correct replacement inserts are ordered for consistent results.
