TPGR 160304 NS9530 — ISO turning insert by Tungaloy, finishing grade, triangular form

A TPGR 160304 NS9530 triangular turning insert designed for precision finishing in turning operations, offering a sharp cutting edge and chip control for continuous cuts and small depths of cut

• ISO-turning insert TPGR 160304
• Uncoated cermet NS9530 for finish turning
• 0.4 mm corner radius for superior surface
• One-sided chipbreaker for continuous cuts

Consistent finish and low cutting loads for turning operations

The insert is specified as an uncoated cermet in grade NS9530, a finishing class developed for turning steel with a sharp cutting edge and reduced cutting forces. This composition is chosen to deliver a high surface finish with minimal tool-induced vibration when used at small depths of cut and in continuous cutting conditions. The combination of material and geometry reduces the need for heavy cutting parameters, which supports consistent part quality and repeatable results across batches. Where process stability and surface integrity are priorities, this insert is a reliable finishing solution.

Predictable fit, economical use and surface-sensitive geometry

Compatibility with ISO holders is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, clamping and thickness; the standardised TPGR shape simplifies selection and set-up. The triangular form provides multiple usable edges, improving economy per insert, while the 0.4 mm corner radius contributes directly to smoother finishes and gentler tool–workpiece interaction. The insert’s 11° clearance and 60° included angle are optimised for finishing passes and help to maintain a sharp edge for better dimensional control. A one-sided chipbreaker supports controlled chip formation in continuous turning, reducing the risk of surface damage and maintaining machining rhythm.

Easy integration into turning systems and reduced downtime

This ISO insert is intended for use within a conventional insert system composed of the ISO plate, a matching external holder or boring bar, a shim/clamp set and replacement screws; compatibility is defined by the insert’s form and dimensions, enabling straightforward replacement and predictable clamping behaviour. The moderate 3.18 mm thickness and 16 mm size make it suitable for many standard holders, helping to reduce the variety of spare parts in stock. Choose the chipbreaker and grade according to workpiece material and machine stability to ensure optimal performance and prolonged tool life.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert suitable for?
The TPGR160304 NS9530 is a finishing-grade uncoated cermet designed primarily for steel, especially where low cutting forces and superior surface finish are required during continuous cuts and small depths of cut.

Will the insert fit standard ISO holders?
Compatibility is achieved when the holder matches the insert form, clearance angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness; the TPGR form follows ISO standards to enable straightforward integration with matching holders and boring bars.

How many cutting edges are available per insert?
The triangular plate provides three usable cutting corners, allowing economical rotation of edges before replacement.

What benefits does the NS9530 grade provide?
NS9530 is an uncoated cermet finishing grade that offers a sharp cutting edge, low cutting forces and enhanced surface quality for finishing operations on steel.

Can this insert be used for internal as well as external turning?
Yes; the insert is suitable for external and internal turning when mounted in the appropriate external holder or boring bar and paired with the correct clamp and shim set.
