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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Mirror Surface achieved" - Hans G., Germany
"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

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.

When will my order ship and arrive?
