TCGT080102 NS9530 Tungaloy indexable insert – compact parting and grooving for turning, 60° main angle

The TCGT080102 NS9530 Tungaloy indexable insert is a compact triangular plate engineered for precise parting-off and grooving in turning operations where installation space is limited.

• Compact triangular insert for tight spaces
• NS9530 uncoated cermet for fine finish
• Low cutting forces and sharp cutting edge

Precision finishing in restricted work envelopes

The TetraForce-Cut series insert offers a compact geometry that converts limited clamping room into reliable finishing capability. The NS9530 cermet grade is formulated for steel finishing, delivering a consistently sharp cutting edge and low cutting forces; this reduces vibration and helps achieve a high surface quality on continuous cuts and small depths of cut. The triangular format maximises usable edges while keeping the insert footprint small, so multiple index positions extend tool life without requiring larger toolholders.

Consistent performance and easier process planning

Low cutting forces and the one-sided chipbreaker design provide predictable chip control and stable cutting conditions during repetitive turning operations. The 0.2 mm radius and the controlled geometry with a 7° clearance minimise edge chipping in finishing passes and improve batch-to-batch repeatability. These technical attributes translate directly into less rework and more reliable cycle times, helping to streamline production planning in component machining.

Application guidance for dependable results

Intended primarily for parting-off and grooving in turning, the insert performs best under continuous cuts and small feedrates typical of finishing operations in steel. The uncoated cermet grade excels where a fine surface and minimal cutting forces are priorities. For operators less familiar with cermet behaviour: cermet offers superior wear resistance and a fine-grained edge, so moderate cutting temperatures and steady feed help exploit the grade’s strengths without compromising edge integrity.

System compatibility and handling benefits

The insert is supplied for use within a compact system comprising holder, inserts and fastening screws, and its triangular form with a central hole and a cylindrical hole plus one-sided countersink (40°–60°) ensures secure clamping and straightforward mounting. The moderate plate thickness supports rigidity while the small size reduces interference in narrow grooves. Together, these design choices make the insert an efficient option when tool access and space limit the choice of tooling.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The TCGT080102 NS9530 Tungaloy indexable insert is optimised for finishing in steel, where the NS9530 cermet provides a sharp edge and low cutting forces.

Does the insert include a chipbreaker and what is its function?
Yes, the plate features a one-sided chipbreaker; it improves chip control during continuous cuts and helps maintain stable cutting conditions for consistent surface quality.

How is the insert secured to the holder?
The TetraForce-Cut insert is designed with a central hole and a cylindrical hole plus one-sided countersink (40°–60°) for positive clamping in compatible holders, providing reliable fixation for parting and grooving tasks.

What advantage does the 0.2 mm radius offer in finishing?
A 0.2 mm radius combines edge strength with the ability to produce a fine surface in finishing passes, reducing the risk of edge chipping while maintaining good surface integrity.

Is this insert suitable for small workpieces and tight setups?
Yes, the compact triangular geometry of the TCGT080102 NS9530 insert is intended for limited installation spaces and small components where accessibility is restricted.
