Tungaloy VCMT160404-24 NS9530 Turning Insert

High-Gloss Mirror Finishing | Premium Cermet Grade | -24 Precision Geometry

Which insert is best for achieving a mirror-like surface finish on steel?

The Tungaloy VCMT160404-24 NS9530 is a specialized 35° rhombic insert designed for high-precision finishing. Unlike standard carbide, the NS9530 Cermet grade offers exceptional chemical stability and resistance to built-up edge (BUE), which is the key to producing high-gloss surface finishes. Paired with the -24 chipbreaker, this tool is optimized for light depths of cut and high-speed operations where dimensional accuracy and aesthetics are critical.

NS9530 Cermet Grade

Excellent fracture and wear resistance. Its low affinity for steel prevents workpiece sticking, ensuring the sharpest possible cutting edge for final passes.

-24 Chipbreaker

Designed specifically for light finishing. Provides excellent chip control at very small depths of cut, preventing surface scratching from tangled chips.

0.4mm Radius Precision

The 0.4mm corner radius reduces cutting forces and vibration, making it ideal for thin-walled parts and high-precision tolerances.

"High-speed finishing at its best. The NS9530 maintains dimensional accuracy even after 500+ parts."

⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Great Stability" - Luca V., Italy
"Very low vibration during the finishing of long shafts. The -24 geometry is perfect for low feed rates."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Authentic Tungaloy Quality" - T. Yamamoto, Japan
"We rely on this for our export-grade components. The gloss finish is unmatched by standard carbide."

Technical FAQ

Q: Can I use this for interrupted cuts?

A: Cermet is more brittle than carbide. While NS9530 is tough, we recommend it primarily for continuous finishing to prevent chipping.

Q: Does it require coolant?

A: Cermet performs excellently dry at high speeds. If using coolant, ensure it is high-pressure and consistent to avoid thermal shock.

Q: What is the optimal feed rate?

A: To maintain surface quality, keep the feed rate between 0.05 and 0.12 mm/rev.

Machinist Tip: Gloss Control

When using **NS9530**, increasing the cutting speed (Vc) often improves the surface gloss. The cermet grade thrives at high temperatures where carbide would normally fail. **BEYOND CNC** - Excellence in Every Pass.

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?

We provide secure worldwide express shipping (via DHL, FedEx, and UPS) with specialized, vibration-proof industrial packaging to ensure tools arrive in perfect condition. In-stock items are dispatched within 24-48 hours, while custom or bulk orders typically have a stable lead time of 15-25 days.

How do you guarantee the quality and tolerance precision of your CNC tools?

All our cutting tools and tool holders are manufactured strictly in accordance with ISO 9001 and international industrial standards. Every batch undergoes 100% rigorous quality control testing using high-precision optical measuring equipment to ensure reliable tool life and stable performance in continuous mass production.
