SNGG 120404 TH10 SNGG120404-01 — Tungaloy ISO turning indexable insert for Turning, square 12 mm

The SNGG120404-01 TH10 is a precision ISO‑standard indexable insert designed for external and internal turning where low cutting forces and good surface quality are required; it suits non‑ferrous and similar workpieces.

• ISO turning insert SNGG 120404 TH10
• Square 12 mm plate with 0.4 mm radius
• Uncoated carbide grade TH10 for low cutting forces
• Cylindrical hole, 0° clearance, ISO compatibility

Engineered for efficient turning and lower cutting forces

The insert is made from uncoated carbide in the TH10 grade, engineered to provide a sharp edge for operations where minimal cutting force and improved surface finish are priorities. The square geometry combined with a 0.4 mm corner radius reduces tool‑induced vibration and stabilises the cut, so machinists benefit from consistent dimensional control and fewer rework cycles. The uncoated edge also helps when machining soft or non‑reactive materials, where a low friction, sharp tip produces cleaner results without the need for additional coatings.

Compatibility that simplifies tool selection and setup

Supplied as an ISO‑design insert, the plate matches standard external holders when the form, clearance, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness correspond. The cylindrical hole and the 0° clearance are designed for positive clamping in conventional insert seats, easing index changes and repeatable positioning. This predictability reduces setup time on the shop floor and simplifies inventory management, allowing production planners to select an insert that integrates with existing holder systems without bespoke adaptations.

Material behaviour and finishing advantages

The sharp uncoated carbide edge supports machining of non‑ferrous materials and applications where low cutting forces and a clean contact zone matter. Reduced built‑up edge tendency contributes to consistent surface quality and extended tool life in many short‑chipping scenarios. Where a high‑quality finish is required after turning, the geometry and grade combine to deliver improved surface integrity, lowering the need for secondary finishing operations and saving machining time on repeat production runs.

Practical handling and process guidance

Insertion and clamping follow standard indexable insert procedures: ensure the seat and screw set are clean, use the recommended torque for the clamping screw and verify seating with a test cut. The square plate form with its defined 90° included angle offers four usable cutting corners, supporting economical edge indexing. For best results, pair the insert with a holder compatible with the ISO size and thickness, and choose a chipbreaker and cutting parameters adapted to the workpiece material and rigidity of the setup to maximise stability and surface quality.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited to machine?
The Tungaloy SNGG120404-01 in TH10 grade is optimised for non‑ferrous materials and applications where a sharp, uncoated edge supports low cutting forces and clean surface finishes.

How is the insert secured in the holder?
The insert uses a cylindrical central hole and is clamped with the appropriate screw and seat; compatibility depends on holder form, size and tolerance matching the ISO 120404 specification.

How many cutting edges are available per insert?
The square plate form provides four usable cutting corners, offering economical indexing during production.

Does the insert require a coating for general use?
This grade is intentionally uncoated to maintain a sharp edge and low cutting forces; coatings are not necessary for its recommended applications and may alter cutting behaviour.

What should be considered for achieving the best surface finish?
Use a rigid setup, correct holder compatibility, and cutting parameters matched to the workpiece material; the combination of the TH10 grade and the 0.4 mm radius helps deliver improved surface integrity.
