TNMG160408 NS9530 Tungaloy turning insert — uncoated cermet, finishing grade for steel

A TNMG160408 NS9530 indexable turning insert engineered for finishing operations on steel, optimised for continuous cuts and small depths of cut.

• Uncoated cermet NS9530 for fine finishing
• Sharp cutting edge for low cutting forces
• Double-sided chipbreaker for consistent chips
• ISO-standard form for easy holder compatibility

Achieve consistent, high-quality surface finishes on steel

The uncoated cermet grade NS9530 is formulated specifically as a finishing grade for steel, delivering a sharp cutting edge that reduces cutting forces and promotes a high surface finish. Cermet combines ceramic and metallic properties to provide reduced built-up edge tendency and improved dimensional stability in continuous turning. For users unfamiliar with the material class, this means a cutting-edge geometry and microstructure that support fine feeds and small depths of cut with lower reliance on heavy coolant use, translating into predictable part quality and reduced rework.

Stable chip control for uninterrupted production runs

A well-matched double-sided chipbreaker ensures consistent chip formation during extended cutting cycles, which helps to avoid irregular vibrations and tool pressure peaks. The chipbreaker geometry is adapted to the finishing role of the grade, producing short, controllable chips in steady-state conditions; this reduces the likelihood of surface damage and interruptions. By stabilising the process, the insert contributes to higher machine uptime and more reliable cycle times, a clear rational advantage for production environments focused on repeatability and throughput.

ISO conformity and straightforward integration into existing tool systems

Designed to ISO dimensions for TNMG inserts, the plate offers straightforward compatibility with common indexable holders; compatibility is defined by form, 0° relief angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness. The triangular 16 mm outline and 4.76 mm plate thickness, together with a cylindrical hole, permit quick mounting and secure clamping in standard pockets. This ISO conformity speeds up tool changeover and simplifies inventory management, reducing the need for holder modification or bespoke toolholders.

Practical recommendations for efficient finishing applications

For finishing applications, employ the grade in continuous cuts with small depths of cut and moderate feed rates to exploit the low cutting forces and achieve the best surface quality. The indexable design is suitable for both external and internal turning when a precise seat and correct clamping torque are ensured. If process conditions vary, select the chipbreaker and cutting data matched to workpiece stability to maintain the intended surface result. Technical guidance is available for fine-tuning cutting parameters to the specific machine and workpiece combination.
