TNGG160408 NS9530 Tungaloy indexable insert for turning — triangular 60°, 0.8 mm radius

The TNGG160408 NS9530 is a triangular indexable insert designed for multidirectional turning in the AddMultiTurn system, optimised as a finishing grade for steel with a sharp cutting edge and consistent surface quality.

• Uncoated cermet NS9530 for fine finishing
• Sharp cutting edge with low cutting forces
• Triangular 60° insert, 16 mm size
• Double-sided chipbreaker with cylindrical hole

Precise finishing performance with low cutting forces

The insert’s core advantage is its uncoated cermet composition, grade NS9530, engineered specifically for finishing operations in steel. Cermet combines ceramic and metallic binders to deliver a fine-grain cutting edge that sustains a sharp profile through continuous cuts, resulting in low cutting forces and a noticeably high surface finish. For applications where small depths of cut and consistent part quality matter, this material reduces the need for secondary grinding and supports predictable process capability.

Multidirectional turning capability for flexible tool setups

Built for the AddMultiTurn model series, the geometry enables a true multidirectional turning system: one tool assembly handles longitudinal, facing and profiling directions without compromising edge stability. The triangular 60° geometry offers multiple indexed corners, making the insert an efficient choice where frequent indexing and quick position changes are required. The indexable design supports process flexibility while keeping machine downtime and tool-change complexity to a minimum.

Reliable chip control and secure clamping for steady cuts

Practical details influence real-world machining. The insert features a double-sided chipbreaker and a cylindrical hole for positive clamping and consistent chip formation, even under finishing feeds. The geometry includes a 0.8 mm corner radius and a 0° clearance angle, paired with a plate thickness of 4.76 mm and a 16 mm seat size, which together improve contact stability and reduce vibration. Stable chip evacuation and firm clamping translate into repeatable surface quality and safer, more efficient production runs.

Economic advantages and recommended applications

As a finishing grade for steel, this insert reduces cycle time per part by enabling higher feed stability and fewer rework steps; the combination of the sharp cutting edge and controlled chipbreaking decreases tool-related variability. The TNGG160408 NS9530 insert is particularly suited to continuous cutting and small material removals where surface specification and dimensional consistency are priority outcomes. The design supports longer intervals between indexings and contributes to lower overall machining costs through reduced secondary operations.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The TNGG160408 NS9530 is specified as a finishing grade for steel and performs best in continuous cutting applications where a sharp edge and high surface quality are required.

How does the NS9530 cermet differ from coated carbide grades?
NS9530 is an uncoated cermet focusing on edge retention and surface finish; compared with coated carbides it typically delivers better finish at finishing feeds while requiring appropriate cutting parameters for optimum life.

Is the insert indexable on multiple corners?
Yes. The triangular 60° shape provides multiple indexable corners, enabling quick corner changes within the AddMultiTurn system to reduce downtime.

What chip control features are included?
A double-sided chipbreaker and cylindrical hole support consistent chip formation and secure clamping, improving evacuation and reducing the risk of built-up edge during finishing.

Which series and system is this insert part of?
This insert belongs to the AddMultiTurn model series and is intended for multidirectional turning systems that use a holder, indexable plates and a clamping mechanism.
