Tungaloy TNGG160402L-C NS9530 Turning Insert
High-Precision Cermet Grade | NS9530 Mirror Finish | 0.2mm Precision Radius
What is the best cermet insert for ultra-fine steel finishing?
The Tungaloy TNGG160402L-C NS9530 is a premium cermet turning insert specifically designed for high-precision finishing operations in ISO P (Steel) and ISO M (Stainless Steel). Utilizing the NS9530 uncoated cermet grade, this insert provides exceptional resistance to built-up edge (BUE) and oxidation, ensuring a mirror-like surface finish. The 0.2mm corner radius (02) and the -C chipbreaker are engineered for light depths of cut and tight tolerances. 100% Made in Japan, this Left-hand (L) oriented insert is the professional choice for CNC machining where surface integrity and dimensional accuracy are paramount.
NS9530 Cermet Technology
A non-coated cermet grade that offers superior thermal stability and chemical resistance. It maintains a sharp cutting edge longer than carbide during high-speed finishing.
-C Precision Chipbreaker
Specifically designed for finishing, the -C breaker provides excellent chip control at very low feed rates and shallow depths, preventing "bird-nesting" of chips.
Mirror Surface Quality
Cermet's low affinity for steel prevents workpiece sticking, resulting in superior Ra values and a bright, aesthetic surface finish without secondary polishing.

8. FAQ - Cermet Finishing Support
Q: Can I use NS9530 for interrupted cuts?
A: Cermet is more brittle than carbide. It is highly recommended for continuous finishing. For interrupted cuts, we suggest using NS9530 for very light passes only.
Q: Is the 0.2mm radius better than 0.4mm?
A: The 0.2mm radius reduces cutting forces and is perfect for thin-walled parts or finishing into sharp corners, though the edge is more delicate than an 0.4mm.
Tech Tip: When to choose Cermet?
If your priority is high-speed finishing and a mirror finish, **NS9530 Cermet** is superior to carbide. It resists welding at the edge, ensuring the workpiece stays bright and the dimensions stay true. **Tungaloy Japan** - Leading in surface excellence.
