TNMG160404 GT9530 Tungaloy indexable insert for turning — coated cermet, 0.4 mm corner radius

The TNMG160404 GT9530 is an ISO-standard triangular indexable insert designed for external and internal turning, offering wear-resistant finishing performance in stable machining conditions.

• ISO triangular insert TNMG160404
• Coated cermet grade GT9530
• 0.4 mm corner radius for fine finishes
• Double-sided chipbreaker with cylindrical hole

Consistent finishing thanks to coated cermet technology

A coated cermet substrate provides a balance between wear resistance and surface quality that is particularly suited to finishing operations on steel. The GT9530 grade is developed for stable conditions where longer tool life and improved surface appearance are priorities. Cermet materials combine ceramic hardness with metallic toughness, reducing flank wear and enabling more consistent results across production lots. This makes the insert a rational choice when process stability and predictable regrind intervals are required.

Predictable set-up and secure clamping for efficient changes

Compatibility with the toolholder is governed by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixation, size and thickness, which simplifies selection and reduces set-up time. The insert features a 0° clearance angle specification and an ISO designation, which supports standardised holder interfaces and repeatable mounting. For production environments where rapid index changes and consistent clamping repeatability matter, this leads to fewer stoppages and less variation between operators.

Optimised chip control for stable cutting and surface quality

The double-sided chipbreaker works in concert with the triangular geometry and the cylindrical hole to maintain reliable chip evacuation and stable cutting forces during turning. The 0.4 mm corner radius helps achieve a fine surface finish without sacrificing edge strength for light finishing passes. Combined with the insert’s coated cermet composition, these features reduce the need for frequent tool changes and help to maintain target tolerances with minimal manual intervention.

Productivity gains through longer tool life and consistent results

In series production, longer tool life and repeatable performance translate directly into lower machining costs and higher uptime. The geometry and material choice of this indexable insert contribute to a reduced total cost of ownership by extending service intervals and improving first-pass quality. For shops seeking a pragmatic mix of finish quality and durable performance, the GT9530 grade offers a technically sound solution that supports reliable machining cycles.
