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.

3. Technical Specifications: Metric vs. Imperial

Parameter Metric Value Imperial Reference
ISO Designation TCMT16T308-PS TCMT 32.52-PS
Inscribed Circle (IC) 9.525 mm 3/8"
Thickness (S) 3.97 mm 5/32"
Corner Radius (RE) 0.8 mm 1/32"

Recommended Cutting Parameters (NS9530)

  • Cutting Speed (Vc): 120 - 280 m/min (Run fast for optimum gloss)
  • Feed Rate (f): 0.08 - 0.25 mm/rev
  • 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

How do I choose the correct specification?

When choosing CNC cutting tools, check the full model code, dimensions, grade and selected variant before ordering. Do not rely on the product image alone.

How can I check compatibility with my existing setup?

For carbide inserts, tool holders, drills and end mills, compare the mounting dimensions, connection type and manufacturer's specifications with your holder or machine. If you are unsure, share your existing part number and machining application with us before ordering.

What quantity and price unit am I ordering?

Check the product listing for the selling unit, pack quantity and included components. If it is unclear whether the price is per piece or per pack, or whether a tool body and inserts are sold separately, contact us before purchasing.

How should I choose cutting parameters?

Select cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut using the relevant manufacturer's recommendations for your tool model, workpiece material, machine conditions and coolant method. The same settings are not suitable for every product or application.

Are bulk discounts available?

Our automatic quantity discount is 6% off for 2–9 items and 12% off for 10 or more items, based on the total product quantity in the cart. Other offers may not combine with this discount; check the applicable offer conditions.
