SNMG 120408 T9235 ISO turning insert — Tungaloy, CVD-coated carbide, square 12 mm

The SNMG120408 T9235 is a square ISO turning insert designed for robust external and internal turning of steel where interrupted cuts and unstable conditions demand a tough grade and reliable chip control.

• SNMG 120408 ISO turning insert
• CVD-coated carbide grade T9235
• Double-sided chipbreaker, reversible
• 12 mm square, 4.76 mm thickness

Stable performance for interrupted and unstable cuts

The CVD-coated T9235 grade is formulated to deliver stable chip formation and extended edge life during lower cutting speeds and discontinuous machining. By combining a tough carbide substrate with a wear-resistant coating, this insert preserves cutting-edge integrity when machining steel under unstable conditions or interrupted cuts. The result is fewer unplanned tool changes and more predictable cycle times, which supports higher machine utilisation and consistent component quality.

Clear ISO compatibility for straightforward tool selection

Designed to the ISO insert form SNMG120408, the geometry, 0° relief angle and tolerance class ensure compatibility with a wide range of external holders and boring bars. The square 12 mm format with a 4.76 mm thickness and a cylindrical hole enables straightforward clamping and repeatable positioning. Specifying ISO-standard inserts simplifies stock keeping and reduces the risk of mismatched holders, so turnover between inserts is quick and dependable on production lines.

Operational benefits: productivity and confidence in results

Using a grade optimised for demanding turning scenarios delivers measurable gains in throughput and surface quality. The double-sided design provides two usable edges per index, while the included chipbreaker geometry improves evacuation and reduces edge stress. For shops facing mixed batches or unstable set-ups, this approach lowers downtime and fosters reproducible results. The Tungaloy solution is thus a practical choice for operations seeking to combine tool life with consistent process behaviour.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The SNMG120408 T9235 turning insert by Tungaloy is intended primarily for machining steel, with the T9235 grade optimised for lower cutting speeds and interrupted cuts.

Is the insert reversible and how many cutting edges are available?
Yes — the SNMG120408 is double-sided and reversible, providing two usable cutting edges per side for a total of four possible edges before replacement.

Which holder types are compatible with this ISO insert?
Compatibility is determined by ISO form, size, relief angle and thickness; standard SNMG external holders and appropriate boring bars that accept a 12 mm square insert with a cylindrical hole will be suitable.

How does the CVD coating benefit machining performance?
The CVD-coated surface on the carbide substrate improves wear resistance and helps maintain edge stability under interrupted cutting, contributing to longer tool life and more consistent surface finish.

What is the original article or manufacturer SKU for ordering?
The original article number is 6786019 and the manufacturer SKU is TUN6786019 for the Tungaloy SNMG120408 T9235 turning insert.
