DNGA150608 LX11 — Tungaloy turning insert (ISO 150608, rhombic, 55°)

A DNGA150608 LX11 Tungaloy turning insert designed for external and internal turning, compatible with ISO-standard holders and optimised for stable cutting performance.

• ISO DNGA 150608 rhombic insert
• LX11 Tungaloy carbide grade
• 55° cutting angle for stable turning
• Cylindrical hole, 6.35 mm plate thickness

High-precision geometry for consistent cutting results

The DNGA-series geometry offers a 55° cutting angle and rhombic form that combine to provide a secure seating in ISO holders and predictable cutting forces. With a corner radius of 0.8 mm and a 6.35 mm plate thickness, the insert maintains edge strength during interrupted cuts and heavier cross-sections, reducing vibration and promoting consistent surface finish. The ISO specification ensures straightforward matching to standard external holders, so changeovers are rapid and setup times are minimised. Emphasis on geometry translates directly into fewer rejects and smoother production flow.

Carbide grade LX11: balance of wear resistance and edge stability

The proprietary LX11 grade from Tungaloy is engineered to balance wear resistance and toughness for general turning applications. Manufactured from high-quality carbide, the grade stabilises the cutting edge under a range of cutting speeds and feed rates, extending usable life compared with ungraded inserts. The absence of an integrated chipbreaker makes the insert versatile for finishing and semi-finishing operations where controlled chip formation is achieved through suitable cutting parameters and holder geometry. Specifying this grade reduces the need for frequent insert changes, improving uptime and lowering per-part tooling cost.

Compatibility, handling and application range

Designed with a cylindrical hole and ISO-conforming form, the insert integrates with common clamping systems and can be used for both external and internal turning when paired with appropriate holders. The 0° relief angle supports neutral cutting geometry, suitable for a broad spectrum of materials typically encountered in workshop and production settings. Material coverage is governed by grade selection and cutting data; this insert is aimed at general turning tasks where a reliable compromise between life and edge stability is required. Clear identification by the ISO designation facilitates inventory management and ordering.

FAQ

What material range is suitable for this insert?
The DNGA150608 LX11 insert is intended for general turning tasks; the LX11 carbide grade provides a balance of wear resistance and toughness suitable for a wide range of steels and alloyed materials under conventional cutting conditions.

Is the insert suitable for internal turning?
Yes. The rhombic DNGA form and cylindrical hole allow the insert to be mounted for both external and internal turning when used with the correct holder geometry and clamping components.

How does the corner radius affect surface finish and tool life?
A 0.8 mm corner radius increases edge strength, which helps maintain surface finish during heavier cuts and improves edge stability, leading to longer effective tool life compared with smaller radii.

Does this insert include a chipbreaker?
This specific variant is supplied without a chipbreaker, making it suitable for finishing and semi-finishing where chip control is managed by toolpath and holder selection rather than an integrated breaker.

Which SKU identifies the original Tungaloy part?
The Tungaloy manufacturer article number is 6803178 and the manufacturer SKU is TUN6803178, which identify this original, brand-new insert.
