VNMG 160402 NS9530 TSF Wendeplatten - Tungaloy

Take advantage of the combination of a sharp uncoated cermet cutting edge, a 0.2 mm corner radius for superior surface finish and the proven ISO VNMG form for reliable holder compatibility; order the insert directly via Metav Werkzeuge or ask the consultants for matching holders and shims.

VNMG160402-TSF NS9530 – ISO turning insert for finishing by Tungaloy

The VNMG160402-TSF NS9530 is a rhombic ISO turning insert engineered for high-quality finishing of steel components in continuous cuts and small depths of cut.

• Fine finishing cermet grade NS9530
• 0.2 mm corner radius for smooth surfaces
• ISO VNMG form with cylindrical hole
• 35° relief angle for reduced cutting forces

Consistent finishing performance with a cermet edge

The insert uses an uncoated cermet grade optimised for finishing operations, which delivers a sharp cutting edge and low cutting forces that contribute to a superior surface finish. The NS9530 grade is designed specifically for steel finishing, providing dimensional stability during continuous cuts and when working with small depths of cut. For practical machining, this means fewer passes to achieve the required Ra values and consistent part quality across production batches. The short cutting edge engagement combined with a 0.2 mm corner radius helps to reduce built-up edge and to maintain a uniform surface profile on turned external or internal diameters.

System compatibility and secure assembly for predictable results

The insert conforms to the ISO VNMG form and therefore requires a matching external holder or boring bar. Compatibility is determined by insert form, clearance angle (0°), tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The plate features a cylindrical hole for positive positioning and works with standard underplate/shim sets and replacement screws as part of the complete system. With a 4.76 mm thickness and a nominal size of 16 mm, the geometry offers robust seating and repeatable clamping, which supports stable cutting conditions and repeatability across tool changes. Selecting the correct holder and clamp set minimises vibration and preserves the fine edge of the insert.

Practical application advice for reliable machining

Intended primarily for turning steel components, the insert and its TSF chipbreaker suit applications where small feeds and light depths of cut are used to achieve high surface quality. For best results, pair the insert with a stiff toolholder and controlled feed rates to exploit the sharp edge and to avoid premature edge chipping. The 35° relief angle contributes to reduced cutting forces and improved shear conditions, especially during long continuous cuts. When selecting the chipbreaker and grade, match them to the stock material and the stability of the set-up; a stable assembly plus the NS9530 finishing grade will typically extend effective tool life and reduce rework.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The VNMG160402-TSF NS9530 is optimised as a finishing grade for steel, offering a sharp edge and controlled cutting forces suited to continuous cuts and small depths of cut.

How does the 0.2 mm corner radius affect the surface finish?
A 0.2 mm corner radius provides a balance between edge strength and the ability to produce a fine surface finish, reducing the likelihood of visible tool marks on turned components.

Which holder features are required for correct compatibility?
Compatibility depends on holder form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness; use an ISO-compatible VNMG external holder with matching clamping set and underplate for optimal seating.

Is the insert supplied ready-to-use or does it need additional parts?
The plate itself is the cutting element; a suitable external holder or boring bar, underplate/shim and replacement screws are required to assemble the complete cutting system.
