Tungaloy TCMT16T304-PS NS9530 Turning Insert

High-Precision Mirror Finishing | Advanced NS9530 Cermet | 0.4mm Corner Radius

How do I achieve a mirror-like surface finish on steel parts?

The Tungaloy TCMT16T304-PS NS9530 is a specialized triangular indexable insert designed for the high-precision finishing of ISO P (Steel) materials. Utilizing the NS9530 Cermet grade, this insert offers exceptional chemical stability and resistance to oxidation, providing a glossy surface luster that standard carbide cannot match. The -PS (Power Sharp) chipbreaker is optimized for light depths of cut, ensuring superior chip control and preventing surface damage from stringy chips. 100% Made in Japan, it is the industrial benchmark for CNC shops requiring strict dimensional accuracy and aesthetic excellence.

NS9530 Cermet Grade

A titanium-based cermet that provides incredible resistance to built-up edge (BUE). It maintains a sharp edge at high speeds, resulting in much cleaner Ra surface values than traditional coated carbide.

-PS High-Finish Breaker

The PS geometry features a highly positive rake angle. This reduces cutting pressure and vibrations, which is crucial when machining long shafts or boring deep internal diameters.

0.4mm Precision Radius

The 0.4mm radius (04) offers the perfect balance between edge strength and surface smoothness, allowing for precise corner details while maintaining tool durability.

3. Technical Specifications: Metric vs. Imperial

Feature Metric (ISO) Imperial Reference
ISO Designation TCMT16T304-PS TCMT 32.51-PS
Inscribed Circle (IC) 9.525 mm 3/8"
Thickness (S) 3.97 mm 5/32"
Corner Radius (RE) 0.4 mm 1/64"

Recommended Cutting Parameters (NS9530)

  • Cutting Speed (Vc): 120 - 280 m/min (Run fast for optimum finish)
  • Feed Rate (f): 0.05 - 0.20 mm/rev
  • Depth of Cut (ap): 0.2 - 1.5 mm

*Machinist Advice: Cermet is sensitive to thermal shock. For long life and high gloss, cutting dry or using high-pressure air-blow is recommended over intermittent coolant.*

4. Primary Applications

  • High-speed finishing of low-to-medium carbon steels.
  • Final dimensioning of precision pins and shafts.
  • Boring high-precision internal holes in alloy steel.
  • Replacing grinding processes for cost-effective finishing.

5. Equipment Compatibility

Universal fit for Tungaloy / ISO boring bars and holders designed for TCMT 16T3 size inserts (3/8" IC). Fits standard S-STFCR/L and STUCR/L shanks.

Machinist Feedback from the Field

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Super Surface Ra" - Klaus H., Germany
"Switched from carbide to this cermet for my finishing pass on steel pins. The shine is incredible—almost ground."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Reliable Boring" - James D., USA
"Running these in an S20S boring bar. Very consistent chip breaking and zero vibration. Tungaloy Japan quality."

⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Great Life at High Vc" - Lin W., Singapore
"Speed is key. Run it fast and the finish stays bright. Excellent service from the CNCHome team."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Original Packaging" - Marc L., France
"Genuine product received. The NS9530 is much better for my finishing work than PVD coated grades."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Perfect for Alloy Steel" - Arjun R., India
"Dimension stability is perfect. Even after 50 parts, the diameter hasn't changed by a micron."

8. FAQ - Precision Machining Support

Q: Is NS9530 better than coated carbide for steel?

A: For high-speed finishing and surface gloss, yes. Cermet has higher chemical stability, which prevents the steel from "welding" to the tip.

Q: Can I use this for interrupted cuts?

A: Cermet is more brittle than carbide. It is perfect for continuous finishing but should be used with caution on heavy interruptions.

Q: Does this fit my S-STFCR16 holder?

A: Yes, TCMT 16T3 (32.5) is the standard size for all STFCR/L 16 style turning and boring tools.

Industrial Tech Tip: Why Cermet?

For the highest surface luster and long edge life in high-speed steel finishing, choose **NS9530 Cermet**. It prevents built-up edge and oxidation, keeping your parts bright and within tolerance. For precision results, **Tungaloy Japan** is the professional choice.

Technical FAQ & Buying Guide

Are your carbide inserts interchangeable with major brands like Sandvik, Iscar, or Kennametal?

Absolutely. Our CNC carbide inserts (including CNMG, WNMG, DNMG, and APMT series) are manufactured strictly adhering to international ISO/ANSI specifications. A CNMG 120408 from OYYU BEYOND will flawlessly fit any standard turning tool holder or indexable tool from major global brands like Sandvik Coromant, Kennametal, Iscar, Walter, or SECO, providing a highly cost-effective premium alternative without sacrificing tolerance or tool life.

How do I choose the correct insert grade and chipbreaker for machining Stainless Steel (M) vs. Carbon Steel (P)?

We offer optimized CVD and PVD multi-layer coatings for different ISO material groups:

  • For Carbon/Alloy Steel (ISO P): Choose our thick multi-layer CVD coated grades (e.g., Al2O3 + TiN). They provide exceptional crater wear resistance and thermal barriers during high-speed dry or wet roughing.
  • For Stainless Steel (ISO M): Choose our nano-structured PVD coated grades with sharp, positive chipbreakers (like -TM or -MA). This combination prevents work hardening and effectively controls sticky chips.
What are the recommended cutting speed (Vc) and feed rate (f) parameters to maximize tool life?

The optimal cutting parameters vary depending on the workpiece hardness and operation type:

  • For General Steel Turnings: Recommended cutting speed ($V_c$) ranges from 150 to 280 m/min, with a feed rate ($f$) of 0.15 to 0.45 mm/rev.
  • For Stainless Steel Finishing: Recommended cutting speed ($V_c$) is 120 to 200 m/min, with a feed rate ($f$) of 0.10 to 0.25 mm/rev.Always adjust parameters based on early wear patterns: increase $V_c$ if built-up edge occurs, or reduce $V_c$ if severe flank wear is observed.
Do you offer bulk discounts or wholesale pricing for machine shops and distributors?

Yes, we support machine shops, distributors, and global buyers with tiered wholesale pricing and competitive volume discounts. We also provide OEM custom manufacturing solutions for tool holders and carbide inserts based on your technical drawings. Contact our team to request a quick B2B quotation.
