TNGA160412 NS520 – ISO triangular turning insert, cermet grade for finishing (Tungaloy)

TNGA160412 NS520 is an ISO-format, triangular turning insert designed for finishing and light machining of steel, offering consistent wear behaviour and high surface quality.

• Cermet grade NS520 for fine finishing
• ISO TNGA triangular 16 mm size
• 1.2 mm corner radius for smooth profiles
• Cylindrical-hole secure fastening

Precise finishing performance with cermet NS520

The insert is produced in the NS520 cermet grade, optimised for surface finish and dimensional accuracy in finishing and light-turning operations. The cermet cutting material combines hardness and thermal stability to reduce built-up edge and promote steady flank wear; this results in fewer reworks and a predictable component finish. The controlled geometry supports repeatable results on steel components where tight tolerances and good surface integrity are required.

System compatibility and secure mounting for efficient changeovers

Designed as an ISO-format triangular plate, the insert features ISO compatibility and a cylindrical hole for positive clamping in matching holders. The triangular geometry with a 1.2 mm corner radius and a plate thickness of 4.76 mm enables secure seating and predictable cutting engagement. Compatibility with a holder depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness; this modular approach reduces setup time and simplifies stocking across multiple turning stations.

Application advice for reliable light machining and finishing

Intended primarily for turning, the insert performs best in finishing to light material removal on steel when paired with a suitable holder and stable machine setup. The insert has a 0° clearance specification and is supplied without a chipbreaker, so selection of an appropriate chip control feature or cutting parameter is advised depending on material and stability. For optimal results, match machining parameters and holder rigidity to the insert’s geometry and material characteristics; for further machining recommendations, technical data and availability can be provided on request.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
This insert in NS520 cermet is specified for finishing and light machining of steel and is optimised for surface quality and dimensional stability.

Does the TNGA160412 NS520 have a chipbreaker?
The insert is supplied without a chipbreaker; chip control should be managed via cutting parameters or by selecting a suitable holder or alternative insert variant.

Which holders are compatible with this ISO insert?
Compatibility is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness; the TNGA160412 matches standard ISO triangular turning holders when those parameters align.

What are the key dimensional specifications to check before ordering?
Check the corner radius (1.2 mm), plate size (16 mm), thickness (4.76 mm), clearance angle (0°) and the cylindrical hole for correct mounting.

How should the TNGA160412 NS520 be used for best surface finish?
Use the insert for finishing cuts with stable clamping and appropriate cutting data; the NS520 cermet supports low flank wear and consistent surface quality under suitable machining conditions.
