TNGG 160402 NS9530 Wendeplatten - Tungaloy

A finishing insert that combines the NS9530 uncoated cermet grade with a 60° triangular ISO geometry delivers low cutting forces and excellent surface quality in turning operations; compatibility with ISO holders depends on matching shape, clearance, tolerance, clamping and thickness. Order the insert directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult their technical team for holder compatibility and availability.

TNGG 160402 NS9530 Tungaloy turning insert – ISO 60° triangle, uncoated cermet

The TNGG 160402 NS9530 is an ISO-standard triangular turning insert designed for finishing steel in external and internal turning operations

• Finishing cermet grade NS9530
• Sharp cutting edge for low cutting forces
• 60° triangular ISO geometry
• Double-sided chipbreaker with cylindrical hole

High-finish turning with lower machining effort

The uncoated cermet grade NS9530 is formulated for finishing operations on steel, offering a sharp cutting edge and reduced cutting forces that help achieve a superior surface finish with minimal secondary processing. In continuous cuts and small depths of cut the material combination gives consistent surface quality and predictable tool behaviour, enabling shorter cycle times and reduced hand-finishing. The result is a measurable improvement in part appearance and process efficiency with fewer downstream operations.

ISO compatibility and secure clamping for repeatable results

The insert follows ISO designation TNGG160402 and must be mounted in a matching ISO holder; secure fixation is determined by insert form, 0° relief, tolerance class, clamping method and plate thickness (4.76 mm). The triangular 60° geometry and cylindrical hole allow double-sided use for economical indexing. When the holder, shim and clamp set correspond to the insert’s geometry and size (16 mm), repeatable positioning and consistent cutting angles are achieved, which supports predictable cycle times and consistent part quality.

Practical selection: chipbreaker and process guidance

Select the chipbreaker and grade according to workpiece material, machining type and stability of the setup. The double-sided chipbreaker on this insert is designed to support controlled chip formation during finishing passes, promoting safe evacuation and stable cutting conditions. While the finishing grade performs best in continuous, light passes, stability considerations should guide feed and depth choices; in marginal setups a different chipbreaker or a more robust grade may be preferred. For complex requirements or unusual materials, technical consultation is recommended to optimise tool life and part quality.

FAQ

Which applications suit this insert best? The TNGG 160402 NS9530 insert is designed primarily for finishing steel in external and internal turning, especially for continuous cuts and small depths of cut.

How does the NS9530 grade affect surface quality? NS9530 is an uncoated cermet finishing grade that provides a sharp edge and reduced cutting forces, supporting improved surface finish and reduced need for secondary operations on turned steel components.

Is the insert indexable and economical to use? Yes, the triangular geometry with a cylindrical hole and double-sided chipbreaker allows indexable use, offering economical rotation of cutting edges and consistent positioning.

What should be checked for holder compatibility? Confirm the holder matches the insert’s shape, 0° relief, tolerance class, clamping style, plate size (16 mm) and thickness (4.76 mm) to ensure secure mounting and repeatable cutting geometry.

Can this grade handle interrupted cuts? The TNGG 160402 NS9530 is optimised for finishing and continuous cuts; for heavy interrupted cuts a tougher, coated grade may be more appropriate.
