Tungaloy TNMG160404-11 NS9530 Turning Insert

High-Speed Mirror Finishing | -11 Chipbreaker | Premium NS9530 Cermet

How do I get a mirror surface finish on steel at high cutting speeds?

The Tungaloy TNMG160404-11 NS9530 is an industry-leading cermet turning insert specifically optimized for high-speed finishing of carbon and alloy steels. Featuring the NS9530 grade, a titanium-based cermet with high fracture toughness, this insert prevents the chemical reaction between the tool and the workpiece that often causes surface dullness. The -11 chipbreaker provides excellent chip control even at shallow depths of cut, ensuring a scratch-free finish. 100% Made in Japan, it is the professional choice for high-gloss precision components.

NS9530 Cermet Grade

Maintains a sharp cutting edge much longer than coated carbide. It offers superior thermal stability, perfect for high-speed dry finishing where surface luster is critical.

-11 Precision Chipbreaker

Optimized for light-duty finishing. The geometry ensures smooth chip evacuation at low feed rates, preventing "birds-nesting" during automated CNC cycles.

High Fracture Resistance

Unlike standard cermets that are brittle, the NS9530 grade is engineered for toughness, allowing for reliable performance even in light interrupted cuts.

3. Technical Data: Metric (ISO) vs. Imperial (ANSI)

Feature Metric (ISO) Imperial (ANSI)
Standard Model TNMG160404-11 TNMG 331-11
Inscribed Circle (IC) 9.525 mm 3/8"
Thickness (S) 4.76 mm 3/16"
Corner Radius (RE) 0.4 mm 1/64"

Recommended Cutting Parameters

  • Cutting Speed (Vc): 150 - 350 m/min (Recommended for high speed)
  • Feed Rate (f): 0.05 - 0.25 mm/rev
  • Depth of Cut (ap): 0.2 - 1.5 mm

*Pro-Tip: Cermet grades like NS9530 perform best in dry cutting conditions during finishing. High spindle speeds activate the cermet surface burnishing effect.*

4. Primary Applications

  • Fine finishing of low to medium carbon steels.
  • Final dimensioning of precision shafts and axles.
  • Automotive components requiring mirror-like surface luster.
  • Boring operations where Ra values under 0.8 are required.

5. Equipment Compatibility

Fits all standard TN** 1604 triangular pockets. Fully compatible with MTJNR/L, WTJNR/L, and DTGNR/L tool holders. Recommended for CNC lathes and multitasking centers.

What Our Customers Say

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Perfect Luster" - Mark T., USA
"Switched from carbide to this cermet for finishing 1045 steel. The Ra finish dropped drastically. The luster is mirror-like."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Reliable B2B Partner" - Hans K., Germany
"Original Tungaloy Japan inserts delivered to my shop in 4 days. NS9530 is my favorite for finishing carbon steels."

⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Great Chip Control" - S. Nakamura, Japan
"The -11 chipbreaker handles low feeds without any issue. Very consistent accuracy on long runs."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Mirror Finish Success" - Alessandro V., Italy
"Used these on our CNC lathe for precision components. The quality is exactly what you expect from Tungaloy."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Excellent Wear Life" - Arjun P., India
"Even at 300 m/min, the wear is predictable. Great B2B supplier with technical expertise."

8. FAQ - Machine Shop Technicals

Q: Can I use this for roughing?

A: No. NS9530 is a cermet grade designed for finishing. For roughing, we recommend T9200 series coated carbide grades.

Q: Does this require coolant?

A: Cermet actually performs exceptionally well in dry cutting environments, which helps avoid thermal shocking of the edge.

Tech Tip: Cermet vs Carbide

While carbide is tougher, **Cermet (NS9530)** has lower affinity for steel, making it the best choice for achieving high surface gloss and maintaining dimensional stability in finishing passes. **Tungaloy Japan** - Excellence in surface technology.

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.

What is your international shipping policy and typical lead time for orders?
