DNGA150404 BX360 Tungaloy indexable insert for turning

A DNGA150404 BX360 indexable turning insert engineered for high-hardness finishing and reliable performance in hardened-steel turning operations.

• CBN grade BX360 for hardened steels
• ISO DNGA150404 rhombic 55° geometry
• 0.4 mm corner radius for fine finishing
• Cylindrical central hole for secure clamping

Wear-resistant CBN grade for consistent finishing

The BX360 CBN grade is formulated for demanding finishing on hardened steels and, depending on the variant, certain cast irons. Using cubic boron nitride as the cutting material provides substantially higher wear resistance than conventional carbide in high-hardness applications, which extends tool life and reduces frequency of index changes. This means more consistent surface quality across batches and fewer unplanned interruptions during end-of-shift production. The combination of a hard, abrasion-resistant grade with stable edge geometry results in a reliable finishing solution for parts requiring tight tolerances and good surface integrity.

Geometry and clamping deliver repeatable cuts

The rhombic plate form with a lead angle of 55° and a relief angle of 0° gives a predictable cutting force direction and facilitates fine finishing passes. The 0.4 mm corner radius supports improved surface finish without sacrificing edge strength, while the central cylindrical hole secures the insert in standard clamping systems. Because the insert conforms to the ISO format, compatibility with matched holders depends on shape, free angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; this standardisation simplifies setup and maintains repeatability. Expect lower vibration sensitivity and steady tool performance when the holder and insert are correctly paired.

System approach reduces setup time and improves economy

As part of an ISO indexable insert system, selection and replacement are straightforward: choose the matching outer holder or boring bar, the correct support/clamp pack and spare fixing screws. The DNGA150404 plate’s 15 mm size and 4.76 mm thickness are standardised dimensions that aid storage and logistical planning. Even without an integrated chipbreaker, the grade and geometry offer controlled chip behaviour for stable finishing when machining stable setups and finishing passes. The net effect is reduced cycle-time variability, improved first-off quality and a lower overall cost per part in medium-to-high-volume production.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for? This insert is specified for hardened steels and, depending on the variant, cast iron; the BX360 CBN grade is optimised for high-hardness finishing applications.

How does the DNGA150404 geometry affect cutting performance? The rhombic 55° geometry and 0.4 mm corner radius provide balanced cutting forces and fine finishing capability, supporting stable surface quality during finishing passes.

Is the insert compatible with standard ISO holders? Yes. The plate follows ISO indexing; compatibility depends on holder form, free angle, tolerance class, fastening and size — confirm the matched holder and clamp set for correct fit.

Does this insert include a chipbreaker? This variant is supplied without a chipbreaker; chip formation is controlled by grade and geometry and is best assessed against the specific workpiece material and setup.

What are the key dimensions to check when replacing an insert? Check the designation DNGA150404, inscribed circle/size (15 mm), plate thickness (4.76 mm), corner radius (0.4 mm) and the central hole style for clamping fit.
