TNGG 160404 NS9530 Tungaloy indexable turning insert for finishing steel (turning)

TNGG 160404 NS9530 is an ISO-standard triangular indexable insert designed for finishing operations on steel, offering a sharp cermet edge and low cutting forces for continuous cuts.

• Finishing cermet grade NS9530
• 0.4 mm corner radius for fine edges
• Triangular ISO form, 60° cutting angle
• Cylindrical hole with double-sided chipbreaker

High-quality finishing for steel turning

The NS9530 grade is an uncoated cermet developed for fine finishing of steel components. Its formulation provides a sharp cutting edge and reduced built-up edge tendency, which directly contributes to a higher surface finish on turned parts. For continuous cutting and small depths of cut the combination of a sharp cermet substrate and a small corner radius reduces cutting forces and vibration, helping to maintain dimensional accuracy on long runs. The insert’s performance is particularly evident where consistent surface quality and tight tolerances are essential.

Design and compatibility that simplify tool selection

The insert follows the ISO designation TNGG160404, with a triangular plate form and a 60° included angle. Key design elements — plate size 16 mm, thickness 4.76 mm, 0.4 mm corner radius and a cylindrical hole — determine compatibility with ISO holders; matching is governed by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The double-sided chipbreaker allows economical use of both edges and supports predictable chip control under finishing conditions. These standardised dimensions make the insert straightforward to integrate into established tooling systems on lathes and turning centres.

Practical benefits in daily machining and handling

Using this grade and geometry yields tangible productivity benefits: lower cutting forces mean less load on the toolholder and machine spindle, and the sharp edge reduces the need for secondary finishing operations. The insert’s 0° clearance angle and cermet substrate suit continuous feeds and precise finishing passes, reducing cycle times while delivering reproducible surface quality. Replacement and indexing are economical thanks to the two usable sides, and the ISO conformity of the plate simplifies inventory management and reordering for production environments.
