TNMG160408 NS9530 Tungaloy turning insert — uncoated cermet finishing grade, 60° triangular design

TNMG160408 NS9530 Tungaloy turning insert is an ISO‑standard triangle insert designed for finishing in steel; the geometry and chip control are optimised for continuous cuts and small depths of cut

• Uncoated cermet grade NS9530
• Sharp edge for fine finishing
• 0.8 mm corner radius for precision
• Double-sided triangular ISO design

High‑quality finishing for steel turning applications

The TNMG160408 in NS9530 is an uncoated cermet finishing grade formulated to produce an excellent surface finish on steels. Its sharp cutting edge keeps cutting forces low, which reduces vibration during continuous turning and supports consistent dimensional accuracy. For operations where fine tolerance and surface integrity matter, this insert reduces the need for secondary finishing steps. The finishing grade is particularly suitable for small depths of cut and steady feed conditions typical in external and internal turning.

Geometry engineered for stability and repeatable results

A triangular 60° insert with a 0.8 mm corner radius and 0° free rake delivers a balance between edge strength and sharpness. The double-sided chipbreaker offers two indexable cutting edges per side, improving economy without compromising performance. The 4.76 mm thickness contributes to rigidity under load, while the insert’s form and tolerances support repeatable seating and secure clamping in compatible holders, reducing setup variation and downtime.

System compatibility and simple integration

Built to ISO dimensions, the insert fits established turning tool systems when matched by form, free angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The triangular form and cylindrical hole permit secure fixing with conventional clamping sets and replacement screws as part of a modular system: insert, compatible external holder or boring bar, shim/clamp set and spare screws. This standardisation simplifies inventory management and accelerates tool exchanges on the shop floor.

Operational benefits and economic rationale

Using a finishing‑oriented cermet grade such as NS9530 can shorten cycle chains by delivering better surface quality in one pass, which contributes to process efficiency and lower overall machining cost per part. The insert’s combination of a sharp edge and stable substrate supports predictable wear patterns and consistent part quality.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The TNMG160408 NS9530 insert is formulated as a finishing grade for steels and is best used in continuous turning operations and small depth‑of‑cut applications.

How many cutting edges are usable on the insert?
The insert is double‑sided and triangular, providing multiple indexable edges; this configuration enhances economy by allowing several re‑uses before disposal.

Is this insert compatible with standard ISO holders?
Yes. The insert follows ISO dimensions; compatibility is determined by form, free angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness and it seats in standard triangular ISO holders when these match.

What cutting geometry contributes to surface quality?
The combination of a sharp edge, 0.8 mm corner radius and 0° free rake helps to maintain low cutting forces and a stable cut, both of which contribute directly to improved surface finish.

Can this insert be used for interrupted cuts?
This finishing grade is optimised for continuous cuts and small passes; interrupted operations may require a more robust grade or a different chipbreaker configuration to avoid premature edge chipping.
