TNGG 160408 NS520 triangular insert for turning — Tungaloy, 60° geometry, 0.8 mm radius

TNGG160408 NS520 is a triangular indexable insert designed for finishing and light machining in turning applications, offering a cermet grade optimised for surface quality and dimensional stability.

• Cermet grade NS520 for finishing
• Triangular insert, 16 mm size
• Double-sided chipbreaker for consistent chips
• Compatible with multidirectional turning systems

Precision finishing and consistent surface quality

The cermet NS520 is tailored for finishing and light machining of steel, delivering a balance between wear resistance and surface integrity. The insert’s geometry — a triangular insert with a 0.8 mm radius and a 60° approach angle — supports stable cutting forces that contribute to repeatable dimensional accuracy and fine surface results. For production environments where component tolerance and finish matter, this combination reduces rework and inspection effort.

Reliable chip control and flexible mounting for multi-directional turning

Designed for the AddMultiTurn multidirectional turning system, the insert’s double-sided chipbreaker and cylindrical hole enable secure clamping and predictable chip formation across multiple cutting directions. The 0° relief angle and defined plate thickness provide consistent engagement with the workpiece, simplifying process setup and lowering the risk of unexpected tool behaviour when changing feed direction or toolholder orientation.

Durable cermet substrate for uniform wear and accuracy

The cutting material—a cermet or coated cermet—is selected to maintain a sharp edge with slow, even wear. This results in stable tool life and consistent component quality over longer batch runs. Where surface finish and dimensional repeatability are priorities, the material properties of NS520 support fewer interruptions for insert changes and contribute to predictable maintenance intervals, improving overall process uptime.

System compatibility and straightforward integration

As part of a modular system comprising holder, indexable inserts and a clamping mechanism, this insert integrates into conventional tool setups without additional complexity. The geometry and hole design facilitate quick indexing and secure clamping in compatible toolholders, enabling efficient changeovers and minimal setup time. For workshops adopting multidirectional turning strategies, the insert provides a practical route to higher productivity with lower operator intervention.

FAQ

What machining tasks is this insert intended for?
The TNGG160408 NS520 insert is intended for turning, specifically finishing and light machining of steel where surface quality and dimensional accuracy are required.

Can the insert be indexed to use multiple cutting edges?
Yes, the triangular shape and double-sided design allow multiple indexings, providing several cutting edges before replacement.

How does the NS520 grade benefit production runs?
NS520 combines the cutting-edge stability of a cermet grade with controlled wear, which promotes consistent surface finish and extends the interval between insert changes.

Is the insert compatible with multidirectional turning toolholders?
The insert is designed for integration into the AddMultiTurn multidirectional turning system and similar holders that accept a 16 mm triangular insert with a cylindrical hole.

What material forms are suitable for this insert?
This insert is optimised for steel finishing; the cermet grade is chosen to balance surface quality and wear resistance when turning steel.
