TCMT 16T302 NS9530 – indexable insert for turning, Tungaloy

A TCMT 16T302 NS9530 indexable insert designed for finishing turning of steel, offering a sharp cutting edge and low cutting forces for excellent surface quality.

• ISO‑standard triangular 16 mm insert
• Uncoated cermet NS9530 grade
• Sharp cutting edge for superior surface finish
• Cylindrical hole with countersink for secure clamping

Achieve superior surface finish with low cutting forces

The NS9530 uncoated cermet grade has been developed for finishing operations on steel, providing a sharp cutting edge and notably low cutting forces. These properties reduce tool-induced vibration and support a stable process, especially during continuous cuts and small depth‑of‑cut passes. For applications where surface integrity and dimensional accuracy are decisive, this insert promotes fewer secondary operations and consistent part quality.

Reliable clamping and ISO compatibility for predictable set‑ups

The insert follows ISO geometry and is a triangular 16 mm form with a 60° included angle, featuring a cylindrical hole with a one‑sided countersink (40°–60°) for secure fastening. The standardised shape and tolerance class ensure interchangeability with ISO‑compliant holders; compatibility is determined by form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness. The 7° relief angle and 3.97 mm thickness contribute to predictable positioning and repeatable clamping, reducing set‑up time and minimising the need for bespoke fixtures.

Improve productivity by reducing rework and stabilising cycles

Using a finishing‑oriented insert such as this one shortens the production chain: the combination of a precision edge and material‑matched chipforming decreases the likelihood of surface defects and the need for additional finishing passes. The design supports reduced cycle times and more consistent batch quality, which is particularly relevant in serial production where process stability and repeatability are key economic drivers. The modest 0.2 mm corner radius is optimised for fine surface finish without compromising on dimensional control.
