TPGT16T304 GT9530 triangular turning insert by Tungaloy — coated cermet, 60° form

The TPGT16T304 GT9530 is an ISO indexable triangular turning insert designed for finishing and light universal turning on steel; its geometry and chip‑control options suit stable turning conditions and applications requiring a high‑quality surface finish.

• Coated cermet grade GT9530 for long tool life
• Triangular 60° form for versatile turning
• 0.4 mm corner radius for fine surface finish
• Cylindrical hole with single-sided countersink

Consistent finishing through geometry and grade

The combination of the GT9530 coated cermet grade and the 0.4 mm corner radius delivers a balance between wear resistance and surface quality. Coated cermet is formulated to resist flank wear while maintaining a fine cutting edge for finishing passes; this means fewer part reworks and more predictable batch outcomes. The 60° triangular form enables straightforward indexing and stable chip engagement, which contributes to consistent dimensional control across series production.

Straightforward holder compatibility and system integration

This insert belongs to the ISO series of indexable turning plates; compatibility with a toolholder is governed by the insert form, 11° clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, nominal size and thickness. The specification of 3.97 mm thickness and the cylindrical hole with a single‑sided countersink (40°–60°) are key for selecting the correct clamp and screw set. For workshop planning, treat the insert as a system component — a matching holder, underlay/shim and replacement screws complete the assembly and ensure repeatable clamping performance.

Material suitability and machining advice

The cutting material is a coated cermet (GT9530) optimised for finishing and light universal turning of steel under stable conditions. Compared with uncoated ceramics or conventional carbide, coated cermet enhances surface finish and extends edge life when process stability is given. The single‑sided chipbreaker suits finishing cuts; select the appropriate chip control and feed to avoid built‑up edge during low‑speed heavy feeds or interrupted cuts. For roughing or unstable setups, consider grades and geometries tailored to higher toughness.

Reliability, productivity and workshop benefits

Manufactured to ISO standards, the insert supports productive machining with predictable flank wear and stable cutting behaviour. The combination of grade and geometry reduces setup iterations and tool change frequency, which contributes to shorter make‑ready times and improved overall equipment effectiveness. For operations where surface integrity, repeatability and long tool life are priorities, this insert provides a pragmatic balance between performance and economy while aligning with standard holder systems.
