TNMG160404 NS9530 – ISO indexable turning insert (finishing, 0.4 mm radius) by Tungaloy

A TNMG160404 NS9530 indexable turning insert designed for finishing operations in steel, offering a sharp cutting edge and a double-sided chipbreaker for continuous cuts

• Cermet finishing grade NS9530 for steel
• Sharp cutting edge for low cutting forces
• 0.4 mm corner radius for fine finishing
• Double-sided chipbreaker for continuous cuts
• ISO triangular TNMG insert, 60° geometry

High-quality finishing with reduced cutting forces

The uncoated cermet NS9530 is formulated as a finishing grade for steel, delivering a sharp cutting edge and low cutting forces that result in consistently improved surface quality. This composition is particularly suitable for continuous cutting and small depths of cut, where chatter resistance and edge stability determine the final finish. The combination of edge geometry and chip control reduces secondary operations and helps maintain cycle-time predictability in production environments.

Easy integration into ISO tooling systems

Designed to the ISO TNMG specification, the insert features a triangular 60° geometry, a 0.4 mm corner radius and a standard thickness of 4.76 mm, which simplifies toolholder selection and stock management. Compatibility with appropriate holders is determined by form, relief angle, tolerance class, clamping and size; the cylindrical hole ensures secure seating for repeatable clamping. This standardisation supports quick changeover and reduces setup time, improving overall machining throughput.

Application-focused performance and predictable results

For external and internal turning where a fine surface finish is required, the indexable insert provides reliable cutting behaviour with controlled chip formation thanks to its double-sided chipbreaker. The finishing nature of the grade means smaller feeds and depths of cut give superior results on steel components, making it ideal for parts that demand tight surface specifications. If exact cutting parameters are required for a specific steel grade or machining setup, technical consultation ensures optimal speeds and feeds for consistent tool life and part quality.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for? The TNMG160404 NS9530 is a finishing cermet grade intended primarily for use on steel, providing low cutting forces and high surface quality.

Is the insert reversible or single-use? The TNMG triangular insert is double-sided with a chipbreaker, allowing indexation of multiple cutting edges to extend service life.

Which geometry and radius does the insert have? The insert features a 60° triangular geometry with a 0.4 mm corner radius, designed for fine finishing cuts.

How does the NS9530 grade affect machining strategy? NS9530’s sharp edge and finishing focus favour smaller depths of cut and stable, continuous feeds to achieve superior surface finishes with reduced secondary machining.

Can the insert be used in standard TNMG toolholders? Yes, the TNMG160404 conforms to ISO sizing and will fit compatible TNMG toolholders provided form, relief angle, tolerance class, clamping and thickness match.
