TNGG 160408 NS9530 indexable insert for turning by Tungaloy

The TNGG160408 NS9530 is a triangular, multiturn indexable insert designed for multidirectional turning applications, delivering a finishing-focused performance in steel machining.

• TNGG160408 triangular insert, 16 mm size
• NS9530 cermet for high surface finish
• 0.8 mm corner radius, sharp cutting edge
• Double-sided chipbreaker for continuous cuts

Increase process efficiency with a finishing-grade cermet

The NS9530 grade is an uncoated cermet developed for finishing operations in steel, offering a high surface finish with reduced need for subsequent machining. Its combination of a sharp cutting edge and low cutting resistance leads to a predictable metal removal rate and less mechanical stress on the toolholder, which supports longer uninterrupted cycles and a more stable production flow. This results in fewer rework cycles and a clearer path to consistent part quality.

Flexible usage across turning directions reduces tool changeover

Built for the AddMultiTurn system, this insert supports multidirectional turning such as longitudinal, facing and profile operations without frequent tool swaps. The triangular form and 60° included angle deliver versatile orientation options while the 16 mm size offers a balance between rigidity and accessibility in confined tool pockets. The result is a reduction in process interruptions and improved machine utilisation for medium to high-volume turning tasks.

Predictable geometry and reliable chip control for consistent surfaces

The geometry provides a 0.8 mm corner radius that is well suited to small depth-of-cut finishing passes, producing fine surface textures while maintaining edge stability. The double-sided chipbreaker supports efficient chip formation during continuous cuts, and the insert’s secure clamping via a cylindrical hole ensures repeatable seating and minimal vibration. The body is manufactured from carbide, delivering the necessary substrate stiffness to exploit the cermet cutting edge effectively.
