TNMG 160404 NS9530 ISO turning insert for precision finishing — Tungaloy

TNMG 160404 NS9530 is an ISO‑standard triangular turning insert engineered for fine finishing of steel in continuous cutting applications.

ISO‑standard triangular insert Uncoated cermet grade NS9530 Sharp edge for superior surface finish Double‑sided chipbreaker, 0° relief angle

Consistent high‑quality finishing with a cermet cutting edge

The uncoated cermet NS9530 delivers a sharp cutting edge and low cutting forces, which together translate into a measurable improvement in surface finish for steels. Cermet grades combine ceramic and metallic phases to resist built‑up edge and provide stable cutting at finishing parameters; this means fewer interruptions for rework and more consistent part quality. Where continuous cuts and small depths of cut are standard, the grade offers reduced friction and an improved machined surface, reducing subsequent finishing stages. The combination of a small nose radius and a precise edge geometry supports tight tolerance achievement on external and internal turning operations.

Reliable integration in ISO tool systems to reduce setup time

Designed to the ISO designation, the insert’s compatibility with holders is determined by form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening style, size and thickness. The triangular plate form and standard dimensions simplify stocking and allow rapid indexation in compatible holders and boring bars. The insert’s cylindrical hole and standard mounting features ensure repeatable seating and clamping, which reduces vibration and run‑out in the tool system. As a result, tool changeovers are quicker and machine uptime increases, supporting stable production flows and predictable process parameters.

Controlled chip formation and predictable tool life for everyday production

The double‑sided chipbreaker and the uncoated cermet substrate are tuned for finishing tasks: the chip geometry is controlled to avoid tangling while maintaining a continuous, stable cut. A 0° relief angle and the carefully chosen edge preparation lower cutting forces and wear rates under finishing feeds, extending usable life in appropriate applications. For operations demanding consistent dimensional accuracy and surface integrity, the balanced combination of geometry and material reduces the need for frequent inspection and corrective machining, supporting efficient batch production and repeatable outcomes.
