SNMG120404 T9235 indexable turning insert – CVD-coated carbide, 90° geometry (Tungaloy)

SNMG120404 T9235 is an ISO-format indexable insert designed for robust external and internal turning of steel components.

• CVD-coated carbide for increased wear resistance
• Designed for external and internal turning
• Square insert with 90° cutting geometry
• Double-sided insert with cylindrical hole

Reliable cutting in interrupted and unstable conditions

The SNMG120404 T9235 insert pairs a CVD-coated surface with a carbide substrate in the T9235 grade, prioritising toughness for operations where stability is limited. This composition is optimised for low cutting speed applications and situations with interrupted cuts, giving a controlled compromise between edge life and fracture resistance. The 0.4 mm corner radius helps distribute cutting forces and reduce chipping, while the 0° clearance combined with the 90° cutting geometry provides predictable engagement and consistent chip formation on steel workpieces.

Easy integration with ISO tooling systems for repeatable results

As part of the ISO family, the insert follows the ISO 120404 designation and is manufactured as a square insert with 4.76 mm thickness, a cylindrical hole and double-sided edges for indexing. These dimensional characteristics determine holder compatibility via form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method and size. When mounted in a correctly specified holder, together with an appropriate shim and clamping kit, the system delivers secure seating and repeatable positioning, simplifying programming and reducing setup variation across consecutive machining cycles.

Improved productivity and predictable process behaviour

The indexable insert design reduces tooling inventory and downtime by offering two usable cutting edges per insert; this contributes directly to lower cost per component and faster turnaround during tool changes. The combination of a robust grade and protective coating enhances stability in tougher turning operations, enabling longer uninterrupted runs and more consistent surface quality. Suitable for external and internal turning, the insert supports efficient machining strategies where a resilient grade covering a broad range of steel tasks is advantageous.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The SNMG120404 T9235 insert is specified for machining steel and is particularly effective where a tough, CVD-coated carbide grade is required for interrupted or unstable cutting.

How does the T9235 grade differ from harder grades?
T9235 prioritises toughness over maximum hardness, so the Tungaloy T9235 grade resists chipping and fracture better at low cutting speed and under interrupted cutting, extending usable edge life in many steel applications.

Which holder features are required to fit this insert?
Compatibility depends on form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening and size; ensure the chosen external or internal holder matches the ISO 120404 geometry and provides proper clamping for repeatable seating.

How many edges are usable before replacement?
The insert is double-sided, offering two cutting edges; indexing extends the serviceable life and reduces tool changes compared with single-edged alternatives.

Can this insert be used for finishing operations?
Yes; with its 0.4 mm corner radius and appropriate cutting parameters, the insert can achieve respectable surface quality while maintaining edge robustness, though final finish will depend on machine rigidity and cutting conditions.
