TNGG160408 GT9530 — Tungaloy triangular indexable insert for turning, coated cermet, R 0.8 mm

A TNGG160408 GT9530 triangular insert designed for multidirectional turning in the AddMultiTurn system, optimised for finishing to light and general-purpose steel.

• Coated cermet grade GT9530 for durable finishing
• Triangular 16 mm insert with 60° cutting geometry
• 0.8 mm corner radius for fine surface quality
• Double-sided chipbreaker, cylindrical hole design

Predictable finishing and extended tool life

The GT9530 is a coated cermet grade developed for wear-resistant finishing to light and general-purpose steel. Its chemistry and coating combination provide a stable cutting edge that favours consistent surface finish and longer tool life under steady cutting conditions. Cermet grades excel where fine finishes are required because they retain edge sharpness at moderate cutting speeds; this reduces downstream grinding and saves time on finishing operations.

Reduced setup time through multidirectional capability

Integrated into the AddMultiTurn model series, this insert supports multidirectional turning, allowing a single geometry to be used for longitudinal, facing and light profiling passes without frequent tool changes. The system concept—holder, changeable inserts and clamping mechanism—reduces machine downtime and simplifies tool management. For production environments seeking higher throughput, that means fewer interruptions and better utilisation of turning centres.

Geometry engineered for consistent accuracy and chip control

The insert’s 60° geometry and 0.8 mm corner radius balance cut strength and surface integrity: a larger corner radius improves edge robustness, while the modest 0.8 mm radius still produces a high-quality finish. The double-sided chipbreaker gives reliable chip formation and evacuation, essential for stable cutting and predictable tool behaviour. A cylindrical hole and a thickness of 4.76 mm ensure secure clamping and repeatable positioning in compatible holders, supporting dimensional consistency across batches.

Practical guidance for integration and performance

Designed for turning applications, including longitudinal, facing and profiling operations, the insert fits into multi-directional holders intended for the AddMultiTurn system and works best under stable cutting conditions—steady feeds, consistent depths of cut and appropriate coolant or misting where required. The tungsten carbide substrate provides the base strength needed for normal shop use; when paired with correct holder selection and machine rigidity, the result is improved process stability and dependable component quality. The TNGG160408 GT9530 insert is especially suitable where surface finish and repeatability are priorities.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The TNGG160408 GT9530 insert is tailored for finishing and light general-purpose turning of steel; its coated cermet composition favours excellent surface quality on such materials.

Is the insert reversible and how many indexable edges are available?
The triangular shape with a double-sided chipbreaker provides multiple usable edges; the design allows turning over to use alternate cutting corners, enhancing tool economy.

Which holder system is required for correct use?
The insert is intended for use in holders compatible with the AddMultiTurn multidirectional turning system; holders must secure the cylindrical hole and support the 4.76 mm plate thickness.

How does the 0.8 mm corner radius affect performance?
A 0.8 mm corner radius offers a compromise between edge strength and surface finish: it reduces edge chipping risk while maintaining the ability to produce a fine surface without excessive cutting forces.

Can this insert be used for profiling passes as well as facing and turning?
Yes, the geometry and chip control are suitable for light profiling as well as longitudinal and facing operations, provided cutting parameters remain within stable ranges for the grade.
