TNGG 160404 NS9530 Tungaloy indexable insert for turning — uncoated cermet finishing, 60° geometry

The TNGG160404 NS9530 is a triangular ISO-format indexable insert designed for turning operations, especially finishing of steel with continuous cuts and fine surface requirements.

• ISO 160404 triangular insert, 60° geometry
• Uncoated cermet NS9530 for finishing cuts
• 0.4 mm corner radius for fine surface finish
• Double-sided chipbreaker with cylindrical hole for secure clamping

Precision finishing for demanding steel turning

The uncoated cermet NS9530 is developed as a finishing grade that prioritises a sharp cutting edge and low cutting forces, which together help achieve an improved surface quality on steel components. The combination of the cermet cutting material and a small 0.4 mm corner radius is well suited to continuous cuts and small depths of cut, ensuring consistent results when tight tolerances and surface integrity matter. The composition and geometry reduce built-up edge and support longer intervals between inspections, translating into a more efficient production flow.

Secure ISO compatibility and stable clamping

Engineered to the ISO 160404 format, the insert‘s 60° geometry and triangular shape provide predictable seating in standard turning holders. The cylindrical hole and double-sided construction enable secure fastening and two usable faces before re-indexing, which lowers per-edge cost. Compatibility with a holder is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; this insert’s dimensions and hole style make it straightforward to match with common ISO external holders or boring bars, reducing setup time and ensuring repeatable positioning for each change.

Application-focused efficiency and process reliability

As a finishing-grade insert intended primarily for steel turning, the design emphasises low cutting forces and high surface quality rather than aggressive material removal. The double-sided chipbreaker improves chip control during continuous cutting conditions, while the uncoated cermet substrate preserves a sharp cutting edge for fine machining. For manufacturers seeking productivity and predictable results in series production, this insert offers a balance of economical indexation and high-quality finish, backed by the reputation of its manufacturer for consistent tool performance.
