TNMG 160404 NS9530 — ISO turning insert (uncoated cermet) by Tungaloy

TNMG 160404 NS9530 is an ISO-format triangular turning insert designed for finishing operations in external and internal turning applications

• Uncoated cermet finishing grade (NS9530)
• ISO triangular insert, 16 mm size
• 60° cutting geometry with 0° clearance
• Double-sided chipbreaker, through-hole fixing

High-precision finishing for steel turning

The combination of an uncoated cermet cutting material and a finishing-oriented grade delivers distinctly lower cutting forces and a refined surface finish when machining steel. Cermet grades are formulated to maintain a sharp cutting edge, which reduces rubbing and heat generation during continuous cuts and light depths of cut. For applications requiring tight dimensional accuracy and excellent workpiece appearance, this insert is optimised to provide the repeatable results expected in precision turning. The result is higher process efficiency through reduced rework and less time spent on manual finishing.

Secure fit and ISO compatibility for stable machining

Built to ISO standards, the triangular geometry and standard mounting interface ensure broad compatibility with common external holders and boring bars. Critical dimensions such as the 16 mm plate size and 4.76 mm thickness, together with the through-hole (cylindrical) fixing, create a stable clamping situation that minimises vibration and improves cutting consistency. Compatibility with a given holder is determined by form, free/clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening and thickness; matching these parameters ensures the insert seats correctly and maintains the expected cutting geometry during production.

Reliable process behaviour and application guidance

This grade is tailored as a finishing solution for steel, suited to continuous cutting conditions and small feed or depth settings. The double-sided chipbreaker extends usable life and allows economical indexation, while the 60° cutting geometry supports versatile toolpath strategies for both external and internal turning. For best results, pair the insert with a rigid toolholder, moderate cutting parameters typical of finishing passes, and appropriate coolant or lubrication to control thermal load. Tungaloy engineering background contributes to consistent tool life and predictable performance in serial production.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert suitable for?
The TNMG 160404 NS9530 is specified as a finishing-grade cermet for steel; it performs best on continuous turning operations and small depths of cut where a fine surface finish is required.

Can the insert be used for internal turning?
Yes, the triangular geometry and stable clamping with a through-hole allow use in both external and internal turning operations when paired with a suitable boring bar or holder.

How is compatibility with a toolholder determined?
Compatibility depends on form, free/clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; matching these parameters to the TNMG 160404 NS9530 ensures correct seating and cutting geometry.

Is the insert indexable and reversible?
The insert features a double-sided chipbreaker and can be indexed to use both cutting edges, extending life and lowering unit costs per edge.

What fixing method does the insert require?
This insert uses a through-hole with cylindrical hole style and is secured via the appropriate clamping kit and screw as specified for ISO turning systems.
