Tungaloy TCMT16T308-PS NS9530 Turning Insert

High-Gloss Steel Finishing | NS9530 Cermet Grade | 0.8mm Corner Radius

How can I improve tool life and surface finish when turning steel?

The Tungaloy TCMT16T304-PS NS9530 is a high-performance triangular indexable insert designed for finishing and semi-finishing of ISO P (Steel). Engineered with the NS9530 Cermet grade, this insert provides superior chemical stability and resistance to oxidation, resulting in a mirror-like surface luster. The 0.8mm corner radius (08) offers enhanced edge strength and allows for higher feed rates compared to smaller radii, while the -PS (Power Sharp) chipbreaker ensures excellent chip control at light depths of cut. 100% Made in Japan, it is the professional choice for CNC high-speed precision machining.

NS9530 Cermet Grade

This titanium-based cermet grade resists built-up edge (BUE) and crater wear. It maintains a sharp edge at high temperatures, which is essential for achieving ultra-smooth surface Ra values on steel parts.

-PS High-Finish Breaker

The -PS geometry features a highly positive rake angle. This reduces cutting force and vibrations, allowing for stable machining even on thin-walled components or long workpiece extensions.

0.8mm Edge Strength

The 0.8mm radius (08) provides a more robust cutting edge, making it suitable for semi-finishing passes where slightly larger depths of cut or higher feed rates are required.

  • Depth of Cut (ap): 0.2 - 2.0 mm

*Pro Tip: Cermet thrives in high-speed, stable environments. Use dry or with high-pressure air to avoid thermal shock and edge chipping.*

4. Primary Applications

  • High-speed finishing of carbon and alloy steel components.
  • Production of gears, shafts, and precision pins.
  • Continuous finishing where high Ra luster is critical.
  • Semi-finishing passes requiring high dimensional stability.

5. Tool Compatibility

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

Feedback from CNC Professionals

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Mirror Surface Results" - Hans M., Germany
"The surface luster on 4140 steel is incredible. The NS9530 cermet is much better than my previous PVD carbide."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "High Speed Stability" - James K., USA
"I run these at 250 m/min and the edge remains sharp part after part. Dimensions are very consistent."

⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Great Chip Breaking" - Taro S., Japan
"The -PS geometry works perfectly for my finishing passes. Small chips, no surface scratches."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Reliable B2B Supplier" - Marcus L., Italy
"Genuine Tungaloy Japan boxes arrived quickly. Excellent technical support for our production floor."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Perfect for Alloy Steel" - Wei C., Singapore
"Using the 0.8 radius for slightly higher feed rates and the finish is still superb. Perfect balance."

8. FAQ - Precision Tooling Support

Q: Is NS9530 suitable for Stainless Steel?

A: NS9530 is optimized for ISO P (Steel). While it can perform in light finishing of stainless, PVD grades like AH725 are generally preferred for heavy ISO M work.

Q: Why choose the 0.8mm radius over 0.4mm?

A: The 0.8mm (08) radius provides more edge strength and allows for higher feed rates to maintain the same surface quality, increasing productivity.

Q: Does this fit my existing S-STFCR16 boring bar?

A: Yes, it is fully compatible with any holder designed for the TCMT 16T3 / TCMT 32.5 standard.

Industrial Tip: Achieving the Perfect Surface

For the highest luster, use **NS9530 Cermet** at speeds above 180 m/min. Cermet's chemical stability prevents material welding, keeping the part bright and the edge sharp. **Tungaloy Japan** is the trusted name for precision CNC machining.

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.
