SNMG120408 NS9530 Tungaloy turning insert (ISO 120408) — finishing for turning

The SNMG120408 NS9530 is a Tungaloy finishing insert designed for precision turning of steel components, optimised for continuous cuts and small depths of cut.

• Sharp cermet grade NS9530 for finishing
• Low cutting forces for stable turning
• Double-sided chipbreaker for consistent chips
• ISO SNMG120408 format with cylindrical hole

Achieve consistent high-quality surfaces with a finishing cermet

The uncoated NS9530 cermet is engineered for a sharp cutting edge and low cutting forces, which together yield improved surface quality and reduced risk of built-up edge when turning steel. As a finishing grade, it is particularly suited to continuous cuts and small depths of cut where surface integrity and dimensional accuracy matter. The material behaviour of cermet provides a stable cutting edge that supports repeatable results, making it a reliable choice for shops focused on component finish and reduced secondary operations.

Proven ISO format and secure clamping for fast tool changes

Packaged in the ISO SNMG format, the insert matches widely used external holders and boring bars when the holder’s form, relief angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness correspond. The insert’s square shape, cylindrical hole and double-sided design allow two usable cutting edges per index, improving stock efficiency. The system comprises the insert, a compatible external holder or boring bar, a support shim or clamp set and replacement screws; selecting the correct combination reduces downtime and simplifies inventory management while ensuring secure clamping and concentricity.

Practical process gains and setup guidance for manufacturers

By using the SNMG120408 NS9530 in appropriate finishing conditions, operations typically see lower vibration, steadier chip formation and reduced rework rates. The double-sided chipbreaker promotes predictable chip control, and the 0° relief specification suits specific holder geometries where minimal clearance is required. For best results, match the chipbreaker and grade to the workpiece and machining stability; when in doubt about holder compatibility or recommended cutting data, Metav Werkzeuge provides technical advice and supplementary specifications via email or phone to support process planning and tool selection.

FAQ

What material is this insert best suited for? The SNMG120408 NS9530 insert is a finishing grade optimised for steel; its uncoated NS9530 cermet provides a sharp edge and low cutting forces suitable for precision turning of steel components.

How does the chipbreaker affect machining? The double-sided chipbreaker on this SNMG insert promotes consistent chip formation and controlled evacuation, improving surface finish and reducing the likelihood of entanglement during continuous cuts.

Is this insert compatible with existing SNMG holders? Compatibility depends on holder form, relief angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness; the ISO SNMG120408 format allows use in standard SNMG holders when specifications match.

How many edges are usable per insert and what is the benefit? The square, indexable design provides two usable cutting edges per side (depending on orientation), enabling cost-effective indexing and reduced tooling costs compared with single-edged options.

What technical support is available for cutting data and holder selection? Metav Werkzeuge can advise on cutting parameters and holder compatibility for the SNMG120408 NS9530 insert; contact details are provided for further technical assistance.
