TPGA160304 NS9530 triangular indexable insert for turning — Tungaloy

The TPGA160304 NS9530 is an ISO-standard triangular indexable insert designed for precision finishing in turning applications, optimised for steel finishing with a sharp cutting edge and continuous-cut conditions.

• ISO triangular insert TPGA160304, 60° geometry
• Uncoated cermet grade NS9530 for fine finishing
• Low cutting forces and sharp cutting edge
• Compatible with ISO turning holders, with cylindrical hole

Achieve superior surface finish with a dedicated finishing grade

The insert is manufactured as an uncoated cermet finishing grade, NS9530, tailored for low-force cutting and consistent surface quality when turning steel. Thanks to the sharp cutting edge and the material composition based on a carbide substrate with cermet cutting edges, the geometry produces reduced rubbing and minimal built-up edge during continuous cuts. This results in a measurable improvement in component finish and can reduce downstream polishing or grinding operations, enhancing cycle-time efficiency without compromising dimensional control.

Secure mounting and ISO compatibility for predictable clamping

Designed to conform to ISO turning insert standards, the plate’s triangular form and 60° included angle ensure broad holder compatibility. The insert features a cylindrical hole for positive axial locating and repeatable clamping, paired with a defined 11° relief angle that supports stable cutting engagement. These characteristics simplify tool-room stocking and reduce setup variations, since holders can be matched by form, free angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness to guarantee correct seating and secure fixation during machining.

Improve productivity through reduced cutting forces and stable cutting

With a corner radius of 0.4 mm and a plate thickness of 3.18 mm, the geometry is optimised for small depths of cut and continuous finishing passes. The combination of sharp geometry and the cermet grade leads to low cutting forces and consistent edge condition, which contributes to longer insert life in finishing cycles and stable process windows. Selecting the correct chipbreaker and matching the grade to the workpiece material and machining stability will further enhance cycle consistency and part quality, delivering measurable productivity gains in serial production.

Practical system considerations for integration into your toolset

The ISO-series system approach means the indexable plate is part of a wider system comprising a compatible external holder or boring bar, a backing pad or clamping set, and replacement screws. When replacing or stocking inserts, the standardised designation eases identification: size 16, triangular sheet, thickness 3.18 mm, with a cylindrical mount hole and an included angle of 60°. This clarity reduces tooling errors and supports a predictable spare-part strategy in the workshop or on the shop floor.
