TPMT 16T304 NS9530 TPMT16T304-24 — Turning insert for finishing, Tungaloy

TPMT16T304-24 NS9530 is an ISO-format triangular insert engineered for precision external and internal turning, optimised for fine finishing of steel components.

• TPMT 16T304 NS9530 finishing cermet grade
• Sharp cutting edge for fine surface quality
• Triangular insert with 0.4 mm corner radius
• ISO compatibility for standard turning holders

Exceptional surface finish for finishing operations

The NS9530 uncoated cermet grade is formulated for low cutting forces and a consistently sharp cutting edge, making it ideal for finishing passes on steel. As a finishing-focused grade, it performs particularly well with continuous cuts and small depths of cut, delivering improved surface integrity and reduced need for downstream polishing. The triangular geometry combined with a 0.4 mm corner radius supports delicate edge engagement while maintaining rigidity, so the result is a fine, repeatable surface finish and predictable tool life.

Stable mounting and system compatibility for reliable production

Compatibility with holders follows ISO standards: the insert form, 11° clearance, tolerance class, fixation, size and 3.97 mm plate thickness determine adapter selection. The TPMT16T304-24 format features a cylindrical hole with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°) for positive clamping and straightforward indexing. When assembled with an appropriate external holder, backing plate and standard clamping set, the modular system ensures repeatable positioning and easy replacement of worn inserts, which reduces downtime and simplifies process control in production environments.

Practical machining guidance and material application

For best results with this finishing insert, select feeds and speeds suitable for light finishing cuts; the uncoated cermet composition excels on steel where thermal and mechanical stability at the cutting edge improve surface results. The sharp edge geometry lowers cutting forces, which helps when machining thin-walled parts or when dimensional tolerance is critical. Where cutting conditions vary, pairing the insert with a stable holder and correct chip evacuation strategy will sustain performance. If additional machining parameters are required, the technical team can advise on optimal feeds, speeds and holder selection to suit the specific component geometry.

FAQ

What applications suit this finishing insert best?
The TPMT16T304-24 NS9530 insert is intended for finishing operations in turning, especially for steel components where a sharp edge and low cutting forces produce superior surface quality.

Is the insert compatible with standard ISO holders?
Yes, the insert follows ISO geometry; compatibility depends on the holder form, clearance, tolerance class, fixation, size and thickness—use matching ISO external holders and clamping sets.

What materials is the NS9530 grade designed for?
The NS9530 uncoated cermet is optimised for steel finishing; it is particularly effective in continuous cuts and small depth-of-cut applications.

How does the 0.4 mm corner radius affect performance?
A 0.4 mm corner radius supports fine edge engagement for improved surface finish while maintaining adequate strength for repeatable finishing passes.

Can the TPMT16T304-24 be used for internal turning?
Yes, the insert geometry and grade are suitable for both external and internal turning when paired with the appropriate internal holder and stable setup.
