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.

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

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.
