Tungaloy VCMT160404-PS NS9530 Turning Insert

Premium Cermet Grade | Mirror Finish Specialist | -PS Precision Chipbreaker

What is the best cermet insert for high-speed finishing on steel?

The Tungaloy VCMT160404-PS NS9530 is a high-performance 35° rhombic turning insert designed specifically for the finishing stages of steel machining. Featuring the advanced NS9530 cermet grade, this tool provides a unique combination of high wear resistance and excellent fracture toughness. The -PS (Positive Sharp) chipbreaker is engineered with a sharp cutting edge and optimal rake angle, making it the perfect solution for achieving a mirror-like surface finish while maintaining tight dimensional tolerances on CNC lathes.

NS9530 Titanium Cermet

A titanium-based carbonitride (cermet) grade that offers high chemical stability and resistance to built-up edge (BUE), ensuring consistent dimensions over long production runs.

-PS High-Rake Breaker

The "Positive Sharp" geometry reduces cutting forces and heat generation, which is vital for preventing vibration on slender workpieces or finishing cuts.

Oxidation Resistance

Excellent thermal resistance allows for higher cutting speeds (Vc) than conventional carbide, resulting in increased productivity and lower Ra values.

Customer Reviews

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Mirror Finish Success" - Markus H., Germany
"The NS9530 grade gives a mirror Ra on our alloy steel shafts. The -PS breaker is sharp and stable even at high speeds."

⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Long Tool Life" - David R., USA
"Very consistent tool life on CNC finishing runs. Much better BUE resistance than our previous carbide inserts."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Perfect for Swiss CNC" - T. Yamamoto, Japan
"Excellent chip control. The 0.4 radius with the -PS breaker is perfect for our small precision parts."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Great Italian B2B Support" - Luca M., Italy
"Fast delivery and genuine quality. The VCMT 160404 is now our primary finishing insert."

Technical FAQ

Q: Why choose NS9530 Cermet over Carbide?
A: Cermet has a lower affinity for metal, preventing built-up edge. It stays sharper longer in finishing applications, providing a superior surface finish.

Q: Can I use this for stainless steel?
A: While it can cut stainless steel, NS9530 is primarily optimized for carbon and alloy steels (P-group). For stainless, consider a PVD-coated carbide grade.

Q: What is the benefit of the -PS breaker?
A: The -PS is a "Positive Sharp" breaker designed for light finishing. It reduces vibration and provides cleaner chip evacuation at small depths of cut.

Expert Tip: Cermet Strategy

To maximize the potential of **NS9530**, use high cutting speeds and maintain a consistent feed. Avoid heavy interrupted cuts as cermet is more brittle than carbide. **BEYOND CNC** - Your Partner in Precision.

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.
