TPMT130304-PF 130304 GT9530 — ISO turning insert for finish-to-light turning, Tungaloy

TPMT130304-PF GT9530 is an ISO-format triangular insert designed for finishing to light universal turning of steel under stable machining conditions

• TPMT130304-PF ISO turning insert GT9530
• Coated cermet for finish to light turning
• 60° triangular form with 0.4 mm corner radius
• Cylindrical hole with single-side countersink (40°–60°)

Productive finish turning with longer in-process life

The coated cermet GT9530 provides a balance between wear resistance and surface quality, making it suitable for finish to light turning of steel where stable setups and consistent cuts are possible. The cermet coating reduces flank wear and supports a smoother part surface, which can lower subsequent finishing costs. Specifying this grade in place of a standard uncoated plate commonly results in longer tool life per edge and fewer part reworks, improving overall process efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Secure clamping and precise seat geometry for stable cuts

Compatibility with the clamping system depends on the insert’s form, clearance angle (11°), tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; the TPMT130304-PF is supplied with a cylindrical hole and a single-side countersink (40°–60°) to ensure repeatable seating in ISO-compatible holders. The 60° triangular form and the 0.4 mm corner radius provide defined contact points that reduce micro-movement during engagement, minimising vibration and improving dimensional stability. This results in better surface finish and more predictable tool life in demanding production runs.

Application range and selection guidance for steel turning

This indexable plate is optimised for turning of steel grades where a good surface finish and extended edge life are required under stable conditions. The GT9530 grade is intended as a wear-resistant cermet solution for finishing and light general-purpose turning rather than for heavy interrupted cuts; for tougher conditions or hard materials, consider grades specifically formulated for high toughness. Selecting the correct chipbreaker PF and matching the insert to a suitable external holder or boring bar ensures effective chip control and consistent machining results.

System considerations and practical recommendations

An efficient system comprises the ISO insert, a compatible external holder or boring bar, a proper backing/clamp set and replacement screws; matching these components reduces assembly error and supports repeatable performance. With a plate thickness of 3.18 mm and inscribed size 13 mm, the insert seats in standard triangular pockets designed for ISO turning plates. For best results, combine the GT9530 grade with stable clamping, fine feed rates for finishing passes and cutting speeds aligned to cermet recommendations to exploit the insert’s surface-quality benefits while preserving edge life.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for turning stainless steel? TPMT130304-PF GT9530 is designed primarily for steel finishing; it can be used on many stainless steel grades when machining parameters and a stable setup are maintained, but performance depends on the specific alloy and cutting conditions.

Which holders are compatible with this insert? Compatibility is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; match a triangular ISO turning holder designed for 13 mm inscribed size and 3.18 mm plate thickness.

What advantages does the GT9530 grade bring compared with standard carbide? The GT9530 coated cermet offers improved wear resistance and a superior surface finish in finishing and light turning operations, resulting in longer edge life and reduced rework on parts.

How does the hole and countersink affect mounting? The cylindrical hole with a single-side countersink (40°–60°) provides secure seating and repeatable clamping, which reduces micro-movement and contributes to stable cutting and consistent part accuracy.

What chipbreaker should be chosen for general applications? The PF chipbreaker indicated on the insert is intended for controlled chip formation in finishing and light turning; it supports good chip control when paired with appropriate feeds and speeds.
