TNMG 160404 NS9530 turning insert — Tungaloy, uncoated cermet, 0° clearance

TNMG 160404 NS9530 is an ISO‑standard triangular turning insert designed for finishing operations on steel, offering a sharp cutting edge and a double‑sided chipbreaker.

Sharp cermet finishing grade NS9530 ISO‑compatible triangular format 0° clearance angle for fine finishing

Consistent, high‑quality finishing for steel components

The NS9530 uncoated cermet grade is formulated for finishing steel, delivering a high surface finish with consistently low cutting forces. As a finishing grade, it excels in continuous cutting and small depths of cut, where a sharp edge and stable material removal are essential. The triangular format with a 60° included angle and a 0° clearance improves contact conditions at the tool tip, reducing vibration and helping to maintain repeatable dimensions on turned parts.

Simple integration with standard ISO holders and secure clamping

Designed to the ISO geometry TNMG 160404, the insert fits common external holders and boring bars that match form, clearance angle and thickness. The insert is double‑sided and features a cylindrical locating hole for secure seating and repeatable positioning. This standardisation reduces setup time, supports fast tool changes and enables predictable tool life in serial production. The 4.76 mm plate thickness and 16 mm inscribed circle ensure compatibility with a wide range of clamping systems.

Stable cutting behaviour and productivity gains

With a 0.4 mm corner radius and a sharp cutting edge, this grade keeps cutting forces low, which benefits finishing quality and extends holder life. The uncoated cermet substrate optimises wear resistance for fine cuts while minimising built‑up edge on common steels. For manufacturers focused on surface integrity and dimensional stability, the combination of material, geometry and chip control provided by the insert supports efficient, productive turning operations with fewer reworks.

Clear technical advantages for process planning

The TNMG‑style triangular insert is double‑edged, permitting economical index changes and predictable tool usage. The 60° insert angle and standardised ISO dimensions simplify CAM programming and make it easier to reproduce cutting parameters across machines. In addition, the uncoated cermet composition reduces friction at the cutting zone in finishing passes, which can contribute to longer intervals between inspections and steady surface roughness values.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The TNMG160404 NS9530 insert is specified as a finishing grade for steel and is optimised for continuous cutting and small depths of cut.

How does the NS9530 grade affect surface finish?
The NS9530 uncoated cermet provides a sharp cutting edge and reduced cutting forces, which together promote a high surface finish on turned steel components.

Is the insert compatible with standard ISO TNMG holders?
Yes. The TNMG160404 conforms to ISO geometry and is designed for compatibility with holders that match form, thickness and clearance angle.

Does the insert require a special clamping system?
The insert uses a cylindrical locating hole and standard clamping schemes; no special clamping system is required beyond a matching ISO holder and correct torque for secure seating.

What are the advantages of a double‑sided chipbreaker?
A double‑sided chipbreaker offers economical re‑indexing and predictable performance across multiple edges, helping to reduce tooling costs per component.
