TNMG 160404 GT9530 – TNMG indexable turning insert for turning (Tungaloy)

TNMG160404 GT9530 is an ISO‑standard indexable turning insert intended for finishing to light universal turning, offering a coated cermet grade that supports improved surface quality and extended cutting performance.

ISO‑standard TNMG shape for compatibility
Coated cermet GT9530 for longer tool life
0.4 mm corner radius for fine surface finish
Double‑sided chipbreaker and cylindrical hole for secure fixing

Reliable finishing and consistent surface quality with coated cermet

The insert delivers stable finishing performance due to its coated cermet composition and the GT9530 grade, which is tuned for wear resistance under steady cutting conditions. The combination of a fine corner radius 0.4 mm and a high‑quality coating produces a superior surface finish on Stahl, reducing rework and finishing steps. By selecting the appropriate chipbreaker and matching holder form and tolerance class, machinists benefit from repeatable dimensional accuracy and less manual polishing.

Compatibility and ease of integration for production workflows

Designed to the ISO plate series, the TNMG format provides broad holder compatibility when the form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness are matched. The ISO‑standard geometry simplifies inventory management across turners and lathes and supports rapid changeover. The through‑hole with a cylindrical bore and the double‑sided layout ensure economical use of each insert and straightforward clamping in approved external holders or boring bars.

Productivity gains from stable chip control and tool life

The GT9530 grade includes a chip control geometry optimised for finishing and light‑general turning, promoting consistent chip formation under stable setups. This leads to fewer tool changes and a predictable production rhythm, which in turn improves mean time between interventions and overall machine uptime. The coated cermet substrate supports cutting at moderate speeds with reduced flank wear, providing an attractive balance between tool life and surface integrity for batch production.

Practical selection advice for turning operations

When specifying the insert, match the TNMG geometry and the GT9530 grade to the application: choose the chipbreaker suited to feed and depth of cut, verify holder compatibility by checking the plate thickness (4.76 mm) and size (16 mm), and prefer stable clamping conditions to realise the grade’s potential. For operations on materials such as Stahl, the insert is optimised for fine finishing where consistent surface quality and extended life under steady conditions are priorities.

FAQ

What cutting tasks suit this insert best?
The TNMG160404 GT9530 insert is designed primarily for finishing to light universal turning operations, offering good surface quality on Stahl when used under stable cutting conditions.

How does the GT9530 grade affect tool life?
GT9530 is a wear‑resistant, coated cermet grade that extends tool life in finishing applications by providing improved flank wear resistance and consistent chip behaviour with the TNMG geometry.

Is the insert compatible with standard TNMG holders?
Yes, the TNMG160404 form follows ISO dimensions; compatibility depends on matching the holder form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening and plate thickness (4.76 mm).

Can the insert be used on materials other than Stahl?
The grade is optimised for finishing Stahl; selection for other materials should consider material properties and possibly a different chipbreaker or grade for best results.

What fixing method does the insert require?
The insert has a cylindrical hole and is intended to be secured using the appropriate clamping system for ISO TNMG plates; ensure the holder accepts the specified hole style.
