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.

Finishing

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

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.
