VNMG 160408 NS9530 VNMG turning insert for finishing applications — Tungaloy

A VNMG160408 NS9530 ISO turning insert engineered for finishing steel, offering a sharp cutting edge, low cutting forces and reliable surface quality.

• ISO VNMG 160408 geometry, rhombic form
• Uncoated cermet NS9530 for finishing
• Sharp cutting edge with low cutting forces
• Double-sided insert with 0.8 mm corner radius

Consistent finishing and surface quality for steel turning

The uncoated cermet NS9530 grade is formulated for finishing operations where a fine surface and low cutting forces are decisive. Cermet combines ceramic hardness with metallic toughness to deliver a sharp cutting edge that resists deformation under continuous cut and small depths of cut. For users seeking improved part finish and tighter dimensional conformity, this can reduce the need for rework and downstream polishing, contributing directly to process efficiency and part quality.

Reliable fit and predictable tool life with ISO geometry

Designed to the ISO VNMG 160408 form, the insert ensures compatibility with standard holders when matched by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, clamping and thickness. The rhombic form and 35° cutting angle provide a stable cutting geometry that supports repeatable chip formation and consistent results across shifts. The double-sided layout extends indexable life, while the 0.8 mm corner radius balances edge strength with the ability to produce fine surface finishes, resulting in dependable productivity and fewer unscheduled tool changes.

Practical guidance for selection and machining

Select the NS9530 grade and corresponding double-sided chipbreaker when working with steels under continuous-cut conditions and small feed rates; this combination promotes stable chip control and consistently low cutting forces. The insert’s 0° clearance angle and cylindrical hole facilitate positive clamping in a range of ISO-compatible holders, but compatibility is ultimately determined by form, clearance, tolerance, fixation and thickness. For customers new to cermet grades: the term “cermet” denotes a ceramic–metal composite optimised here for finishing—expect improved surface roughness and reduced burr formation compared with many conventional grades.
