TNMG160402 NS9530 Tungaloy indexable insert — finishing grade for turning

A TNMG160402 NS9530 indexable insert designed for finishing turning of steel, offering a sharp cutting edge and stable performance in continuous cuts with small depths of cut

• ISO triangular insert, 60° included angle
• Uncoated cermet grade NS9530
• Finishing grade with low cutting forces
• Double-sided chipbreaker, cylindrical hole

Consistent finishing performance and why the grade matters

The combination of an uncoated cermet cutting material and the NS9530 grade provides a cutting geometry optimised for finishing operations on steel. Cermet substrates combine ceramic hardness with metallic toughness, resulting in a sharp cutting edge that maintains form under low to moderate loads; this leads to low cutting forces and a high surface finish without aggressive cutting parameters. For continuous cuts and small depths of cut, the result is more predictable dimensional control and reduced need for downstream polishing. The construction as an indexable insert in ISO format ensures predictable repeatability and easier tool management on the shop floor.

Secure clamping and dimensional reliability for uninterrupted production

Compatibility with holders is determined by shape, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness; the TNMG geometry and the 60° included angle allow straightforward integration into standard turning toolholders. The triangular plate with a 0.2 mm corner radius and a 4.76 mm thickness gives clear profiling for fine finishing passes, while the cylindrical hole provides reliable axial location and clamping stability. The double-sided chipbreaker extends usable edge life by allowing the insert to be indexed once an edge is worn, supporting continuous production cycles and reducing downtime for tool changes.

Productivity gains through quality and predictable tool life

Adopting a finishing insert with the described geometry and NS9530 material reduces rework and shortens cycle times by producing acceptable surface quality on initial passes. The double-sided chipbreaker helps control chip formation during moderate feeds, supporting safer chip evacuation and consistent surface appearance. From a process point of view, the combination of cemented carbide substrate and the cermet cutting surface contributes to repeatable edge integrity, making the component finish more reliable batch to batch. For manufacturers seeking to increase first-pass yield and lower non-productive time, this specification represents a practical upgrade in the finishing toolset.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for? The TNMG160402 NS9530 Tungaloy indexable insert is developed as a finishing grade for steel and performs best in continuous cuts with small depths of cut.

Can this insert be used in standard TNMG holders? Yes, the insert follows the ISO TNMG format; compatibility depends on holder form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness.

How does the NS9530 grade influence surface finish and tool life? The NS9530 uncoated cermet grade provides a sharp cutting edge that promotes low cutting forces and a high surface finish in finishing applications, offering predictable edge behaviour under the specified cutting conditions.

Is chip control supported for finishing feeds? The double-sided chipbreaker integrated in the insert helps control chips during finishing feeds and supports safer evacuation while maintaining surface quality.

What are the key dimensions to check before fitting the insert? Confirm the insert size (16 mm), thickness (4.76 mm), corner radius (0.2 mm) and the presence of the cylindrical hole to ensure correct seating and clamping.
