TNGG 160404 NS9530 Tungaloy indexable insert for turning, triangular 60°

A TNGG160404 NS9530 indexable insert engineered for finish turning of steel, offering a sharp cutting edge and a double-sided chipbreaker for continuous-cut applications.

• Finishing grade NS9530 for superior surface
• Uncoated cermet with sharp cutting edge
• 60° triangular shape, 0.4 mm corner radius
• Double-sided chipbreaker, cylindrical hole

Achieve superior surface finish with a finishing-grade insert

The combination of the NS9530 finishing grade and an uncoated cermet cutting edge reduces built-up edge and keeps cutting forces low, making this insert particularly well suited to finish turning of steel. The sharp edge geometry promotes a fine chip separation and minimises vibration during light cuts, which directly translates into a high surface finish and reduced rework. For operations that require consistent part appearance and tight dimensional tolerances, this geometry supports stable, reproducible results.

Reliable fit and system compatibility for predictable machining

Designed to match ISO specifications, the insert’s triangular 60° form and cylindrical hole allow secure mounting in standard turn-holders; compatibility depends on form, relief angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness. The 0° clearance relief and the standardised TNGG160404 format simplify holder selection and changeover in mixed-machine environments, reducing downtime. Where precision and interchangeability are priorities, the ISO-conforming design ensures the insert integrates smoothly into the tooling system.

Productivity and tool-life considerations for finishing applications

The double-sided chipbreaker offers two usable edges, improving economy while maintaining the required edge condition for finishing cuts. With a corner radius 0.4 mm and moderate insert thickness 4.76 mm, the geometry supports steady chip flow in continuous cuts and small depths of cut, balancing edge strength and the need for fine surface integrity. The materials and design of this insert favour stable chip formation and repeatable performance, so fewer tool changes are required over a production run, aiding overall process efficiency.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for finish turning steel components? Yes. The TNGG160404 NS9530 insert is a finishing grade designed specifically for steel, providing a sharp edge and low cutting forces that promote a high surface finish.

How many usable cutting edges are available per insert? The insert features a double-sided chipbreaker, giving two usable edges per indexable face and supporting economical tool use in finishing operations.

What should be considered when selecting a holder for this insert? Holder compatibility depends on form, relief angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness; choose a holder that accepts triangular 60° ISO inserts with a cylindrical hole and 4.76 mm plate thickness.

Can this insert be used for interrupted cuts or only continuous finishing? This grade and geometry are optimised for continuous cuts and small depths of cut; for heavy interruption, consider grades and geometries designed for tougher shock resistance.
