TNMG160404 NS9530 Tungaloy turning insert — uncoated cermet finishing insert, 0.4 mm corner radius

A TNMG160404 NS9530 Tungaloy turning insert intended for finishing operations on steel with an ISO-standard triangular form and a 60° lead angle.

• Sharp cermet grade NS9530 for fine finishing
• ISO-standard TNMG format for broad compatibility
• 0.4 mm corner radius for precise edge definition
• Double-sided chipbreaker and cylindrical hole

Superior surface finish for finishing operations

The insert is manufactured as an uncoated cermet NS9530, optimised for low cutting forces and a sharp cutting edge that supports continuous finishing cuts. This composition reduces built-up edge and promotes a consistently fine surface, which is particularly beneficial when final-part tolerances and surface integrity are priorities. The result is fewer rework operations and a smoother handover to downstream processes, with the insert's geometry designed to favour stable chip flow during light depths of cut.

Process reliability through geometry and chip control

A triangular ISO insert with a 60° included angle and a double-sided chipbreaker provides versatility and predictable behaviour on common turning centres. The built-in chipformer and the cylindrical hole contribute to secure clamping and repeatable seat position, so the insert maintains its cutting line over multiple indexing events. These features increase process reliability, minimise vibration during light finishing passes and help achieve consistent dimensional results across batch production.

Precision edge definition for tight tolerances

The 0.4 mm corner radius delivers a controlled cutting edge that balances strength and sharpness, enabling fine profile definition and reduced nose wear when employed in finishing cuts. The combination of a narrow radius and the cermet grade supports low cutting forces, which in turn lowers machine deflection and protects fragile bores or thin-walled components. This geometry is advantageous for customers who require repeatable part quality with minimal manual adjustment.

Compatibility and system integration for efficient machining

Designed to the ISO turning insert standards, the insert’s compatibility with holders depends on form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; selecting an appropriate external holder or boring bar ensures optimal contact and stability. The ISO-standard format simplifies procurement and tool change procedures across workstations, while the insert’s finishing focus means fewer passes and reduced cycle times for many steel turning tasks.
