TNGG 160408 NS9530 Wendeplatten - Tungaloy

Take advantage of the combination of a sharp cermet grade (NS9530), a 0.8 mm corner radius for accurate profiles and a design optimised for the AddMultiTurn multidirectional turning system to keep cycle times short and surface quality high; order via Metav Werkzeuge or consult our advisors for application recommendations.

TNGG160408 NS9530 triangular turning insert – finishing grade by Tungaloy

The TNGG160408 NS9530 is a triangular turning insert designed for multidirectional turning applications, providing a finishing-grade cermet geometry for fine longitudinal, facing and profiling operations.

• Multidirectional turning compatibility
• Sharp cermet grade for finishing
• 0.8 mm corner radius for fine profiles
• Double-sided chipbreaker, triangular form

Consistent fine surface finish for finishing cuts

The NS9530 grade is an uncoated cermet developed to deliver a high surface finish and consistently low built-up edge during continuous cutting. Cermet combines ceramic and metallic phases to reduce friction and preserve a sharp cutting edge, which is why this insert is particularly suited to finishing operations on steel where small depths of cut and smooth, repeatable profiles are required. The result is fewer downstream polishing passes and reduced finishing time per component.

Reduced tool changes and greater process flexibility

Built for the AddMultiTurn multidirectional system, the triangular insert shape with a central cylindrical hole and a double-sided chipbreaker allows reversible indexing and secure clamping in a variety of holder designs. This configuration reduces the need for frequent tool changes in setups that require multiple cutting directions, improving uptime and simplifying tool inventory management. The combination of reversible edges and stable clamping supports reliable repeatability in batch production.

Geometry and stability for precise profile control

With a 0.8 mm corner radius, a 60° wedge angle and a thickness of 4.76 mm, the insert offers dimensional stability for delicate profile and form turning. The small radius helps maintain edge strength while delivering the contour fidelity needed for finishing passes; the moderate thickness contributes to bending resistance under interrupted cuts. The insert’s 0° relief angle and triangular form provide predictable contact geometry, which aids in consistent chip flow and dimensional control when paired with appropriate feed and speed settings.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for roughing operations? The TNGG160408 NS9530 is engineered as a finishing-grade cermet insert and is optimised for fine finishing and continuous cuts; it is not primarily intended for heavy roughing but can be used for light stock removal under controlled conditions.

Which base materials is this grade intended for? The NS9530 grade is designed for machining steel, offering low cutting forces and good surface quality in finishing applications on a wide range of steels.

Can the insert be used in multidirectional toolholders? Yes. The insert’s geometry and the AddMultiTurn model series compatibility make the TNGG160408 suitable for multidirectional turning systems that accept triangular, hole-mounted inserts.

What holder features are required for secure clamping? The centrally located cylindrical hole and triangular form require a matching clamping design with positive seating; the double-sided chipbreaker supports stable chip control when clamped correctly.
