TPGM 160304 NS9530 – Tungaloy ISO turning insert, 60° triangular finishing grade

TPGM 160304 NS9530 is an ISO-standard triangular turning insert designed for finishing operations on steel, optimised for continuous cuts and small depths of cut and suitable for both external and internal turning.

• ISO triangular insert, 60° included angle
• Uncoated cermet NS9530 for fine finishing
• Sharp cutting edge for low cutting forces
• Compatible with standard ISO holders

Consistent finishing and low cutting forces for steel turning

The uncoated cermet NS9530 is a finishing grade developed for precision work on steel, delivering a sharp cutting edge that reduces cutting forces and vibration. This combination results in a measurable improvement in surface quality and reduces rework. For operations where small depths of cut and continuous turning predominate, the deposit-free cermet ensures repeatable, high surface finish results. The material chemistry of cermet balances hardness and fracture resistance, which makes it especially effective when the goal is a mirror-like finish rather than aggressive material removal.

Reliable fit and system compatibility for workshop integration

Designed to ISO geometry, the triangular shape with a 60° included angle and a standard mount configuration allows straightforward integration into existing tool systems. Compatibility depends on holder form, clearance angle, tolerance class, attachment method, size and thickness; the insert’s specifications—such as the 11° relief angle and 3.18 mm plate thickness—are selected to align with common external holders and boring bars. Clear specification of these parameters reduces setup time and ensures the insert seats correctly, which in turn preserves the cutting edge and maintains process stability.

Operational advantages: productivity without compromise

Using a finishing cermet such as NS9530 yields operational benefits beyond surface quality. The low cutting forces reduce tool-induced deflection and can permit modestly higher feed stability in delicate turning operations, while the sharp edge minimises heat build-up at the cutting zone. For shops seeking to optimise cycle times without sacrificing finish, this insert offers an economical route: reduced secondary operations, fewer finishing passes and more consistent part tolerance. When machining continuous cuts, the single-sided chipbreaker helps control chip flow and supports safe swarf evacuation.

Practical selection guidelines and application notes

When selecting this triangular insert for turning, match the corner radius (0.4 mm) and chipbreaker style to the desired surface tolerance and feed rate. The insert is supplied with a cylindrical hole, providing secure fixation in standard clamp systems and easing indexation. Choose the NS9530 finishing grade for operations prioritising surface quality on steel; for roughing or interrupted cuts, consider a different grade or geometry optimised for toughness. The modular system—insert, suitable external holder or boring bar, backing pad and replacement screws—allows flexible tooling set-ups and straightforward maintenance planning.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The NS9530 finishing grade is formulated for machining steel and is especially suited to operations where a fine surface finish is required.

Is the insert compatible with standard ISO triangular holders?
Yes, the triangular ISO geometry (160304) and the specified size and thickness are intended for compatibility with standard ISO holders and boring bars when matched by form and tolerance.

What does the NS9530 cermet offer compared with coated carbide?
NS9530 provides a very sharp edge and excellent surface finish for continuous, light-depth turning; compared with coated carbide, it focuses on finishing performance rather than heavy-duty toughness.

Can this insert be used for internal turning as well as external turning?
Yes, the design supports both external and internal turning operations, provided the correct holder and setup are used for the application.

What is the manufacturer article number and product identification?
The item is listed under article number 6998021 and SKU 6998021-Tungaloy; the manufacturer SKU is TUN6998021 for ordering and reference.
