DNGN150712 LX11 Tungaloy turning insert — ISO indexable insert for external and internal turning, 55°

DNGN150712 LX11 Tungaloy turning insert is an ISO‑compliant, rhombic 55° indexable insert designed for both external and internal turning; compatibility with holders is defined by form, clearance, tolerance class, clamping and thickness

• ISO‑compliant DNGN geometry, 55° cutting angle
• LX11 Tungaloy grade for wear resistance
• 1.2 mm corner radius for robust edge strength
• Carbide construction with 7.94 mm plate thickness

Durable cutting performance for productive turning

The LX11 Tungaloy grade, combined with a carbide substrate, provides a balanced mix of wear resistance and toughness that supports consistent performance in turning tasks. The 1.2 mm corner radius strengthens the cutting edge against chipping while maintaining acceptable surface finish, resulting in fewer indexings and reduced tool change frequency. As an indexable insert, the component allows rapid seat replacement in compatible holders, which contributes to higher machine uptime and a smoother production flow.

Precise fit and repeatability thanks to ISO DNGN geometry

The rhombic DNGN form follows ISO conventions, so compatibility with standard holders is predictable when form, clearance, tolerance class, clamping and thickness match. The 55° cutting angle and 0° clearance define the cutting kinematics and contact geometry; this leads to reliable chip formation and dimensional control when the correct holder and clamp torque are used. Specifying an ISO‑compliant plate reduces set‑up variability and simplifies tool inventory management across machines.

Stable machining and manageable chip behaviour

This insert is supplied without a chipbreaker, which permits tailoring of chip control to the workpiece and process by selecting a matching chipformer or alternative insert geometry. The LX11 grade supports stable cutting edges under varying loads, promoting predictable wear progression and consistent part quality. Where process stability is paramount, pairing the insert with a suitably rigid holder and optimised cutting parameters reduces vibration and fosters repeatable surface finishes.

Practical scope and system considerations

Designed for both external and internal turning, the insert forms part of a system that includes the ISO indexable insert, a matching external holder or boring bar, seating and clamping sets and replacement screws. The plate has a thickness of 7.94 mm and a nominal size of 15 mm, allowing use in compact toolholders as well as in more robust set‑ups. Selection of the correct chipbreaker, where required, and adherence to the holder manufacturer’s torque and seating recommendations will deliver the intended combination of productivity and tool life.

FAQ

What turning applications suit this insert?
The DNGN150712 LX11 Tungaloy insert is intended for both external and internal turning; its geometry and grade support stable general‑purpose turning where a robust edge and predictable wear are required.

How does the LX11 grade affect performance?
LX11 is a Tungaloy grade formulated to balance wear resistance and toughness; in the DNGN150712 this supports longer edge life and consistent cutting‑edge stability under typical turning loads.

How is compatibility with holders ensured?
Compatibility depends on matching the DNGN form, clearance angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness; the ISO‑compliant designation simplifies selection of suitable holders.

Is chip control provided by the insert?
This specific insert is supplied without a chipbreaker; chip control is achieved by selecting the appropriate chipformer, holder geometry or cutting parameters for the workpiece material and process.

What are the key dimensions to check before ordering?
Confirm the DNGN150712 geometry, 1.2 mm corner radius, plate thickness 7.94 mm and 55° cutting angle to ensure fit and intended cutting performance.
