TNMG 160404 NS9530 — Turning insert (Tungaloy)

TNMG 160404 NS9530 is an ISO‑standard turning insert designed for fine finishing in conventional turning applications, delivering low cutting forces and excellent surface quality with a sharp cermet cutting edge.

• Cermet grade NS9530 for fine finishing
• ISO TNMG 160404 geometry for holder compatibility
• Sharp cutting edge with low cutting forces
• Double‑sided chipbreaker, triangular insert

High-quality finishing with a cermet cutting edge

The insert features a cermet substrate in the NS9530 grade, an uncoated finishing material formulated to deliver a high surface finish while keeping cutting forces low. This makes the insert particularly suitable for continuous cuts and operations with small depths of cut where dimensional accuracy and surface integrity matter. The material choice reduces plastic deformation at the edge and supports reliable, repeatable finishing results on steel workpieces; in practice this translates to fewer passes and reduced downstream rework. The combination of a sharp edge geometry and cermet metallurgy is aimed at producing a consistent microroughness level across serial production runs.

Stable geometry for straightforward holder compatibility

Built to the ISO standard for TNMG inserts, the ISO TNMG form ensures predictable orientation and seating in compatible holders. The insert is triangular with a 0.4 mm corner radius and a 60° included angle, and it comes with a cylindrical hole for secure clamping. The 0° rake angle contributes to the low cutting forces characteristic of this finishing grade. Compatibility with a specific toolholder depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; typical system components include the ISO insert, a matching external holder or boring bar, a shim/clamp set and replacement screws. Using standardised inserts simplifies tool change‑overs and inventory management while maintaining process stability.

Application benefits and operational economy

As a finishing insert, the grade excels in producing fine surfaces on steel under continuous cutting conditions and small feeds, with the double‑sided chipbreaker aiding consistent chip control during steady machining. The carbide‑based cermet substrate offers edge stability that supports repeatable part quality and extended intervals between regrinds or replacements, contributing to lower unit costs in high‑volume turning. For shops seeking predictable finishing performance, the geometry and chip control features promote shorter setup times and fewer adjustments.

FAQ

Which holder types are compatible with this insert?
Compatibility is determined by the ISO TNMG form, the holder's clearance angle and tolerance class; the TNMG160404 NS9530 insert fits standard TNMG holders when size, thickness and fastening match the holder specification.

Is this insert suitable for roughing operations?
The NS9530 grade is a finishing cermet designed for low cutting forces and high surface quality; it is optimised for continuous finishing cuts rather than heavy roughing.

Can the insert be used on stainless or alloyed materials?
The insert is specified for finishing of steel; for other alloys or stainless applications, evaluate material compatibility and cutting parameters—Metav Werkzeuge can advise on suitable grades and conditions.

How does the double‑sided chipbreaker help during turning?
The double‑sided chipbreaker supports repeatable chip formation in continuous cuts, improving chip evacuation and stabilising the cutting process to maintain surface quality with the NS9530 finishing grade.

What are the key features of the TNMG160404 NS9530 that improve process reliability?
The combination of ISO TNMG geometry, a 0.4 mm corner radius, a 0° rake angle and the NS9530 cermet substrate yields low cutting forces, a sharp cutting edge and consistent chip control, all contributing to dependable finishing performance.
