TPGN 160304 NS9530 triangular turning insert – uncoated cermet for finishing (Tungaloy)

The TPGN 160304 NS9530 is a triangular ISO turning insert designed for finishing steel with low cutting forces and excellent surface quality, suited to continuous cuts and small depths of cut.

• Uncoated cermet grade NS9530
• 0.4 mm corner radius for high surface finish
• ISO TPGN triangular insert, 60° cutting geometry
• Suitable for continuous finishing of steel

Consistent finishing performance thanks to cermet chemistry and geometry

The combination of an uncoated cermet grade and a finely honed cutting edge gives stable, repeatable finishing results on steel. Cermet materials provide a sharp, wear-resistant edge that reduces built-up edge and lowers cutting forces; the result is improved surface finish and less vibration during continuous turning. The design favours fine feeds and small depths of cut, so process stability is increased when the focus is on high-quality turned surfaces rather than heavy material removal.

Integrates with ISO tool systems for straightforward tool setup

Designed to ISO conventions, the insert’s triangular form and 60° included angle allow straightforward mounting in standard holders. Compatibility is determined by form, clearance, tolerance class, clamping and thickness; here the 11° clearance angle and plate thickness 3.18 mm ensure correct seating and reliable clamping in appropriate external holders or boring bars. The system concept includes the insert, a matched external holder or bar, a shim/clamp set and replacement screws to maintain repeatable positioning and tool life.

Operational advantages: edge radius, no chipbreaker and finishing focus

The small 0.4 mm corner radius provides a balance between edge strength and the fine radii required for superior surface integrity. As a finishing grade without a chipbreaker, the insert is optimised for uninterrupted chips and continuous cuts; chip control and grade selection should be matched to workpiece stability and machining parameters. The absence of a chipbreaker reduces cutting forces and helps to preserve the sharp cermet edge, making it particularly effective for craftsmen and production engineers prioritising surface quality and dimensional accuracy.

Practical selection and process guidance

Select the matching grade and, if needed, a suitable chip control geometry based on the material and machining conditions; NS9530 is intended as a finishing sort for steel with a keen edge and low cutting forces. Where interrupted cuts or heavy feeds are required, consider a different grade or geometry. Serviceability is improved by the ISO system: spare screws and shims simplify replacement and keep machine downtimes to a minimum. For mixed-shop environments the standardised form reduces tool inventory complexity while maintaining high productivity.
