SNGG 120408 TH10 square ISO turning insert — Tungaloy

A SNGG120408-01 TH10 indexable insert designed for ISO-compliant external and internal turning applications.

• ISO 120408 format, square insert
• Uncoated carbide TH10 for low cutting forces
• 0.8 mm nose radius for precise profiling
• Cylindrical hole for secure clamping

High-efficiency turning with consistent chip control

The SNGG120408-01 is built to deliver repeatable results in turning operations where low cutting forces and clean surfaces are priorities. The TH10 grade is an uncoated carbide developed as a sharp universal grade suitable for non-ferrous materials and similar applications; this translates into reduced power draw and a lower tendency for built-up edge when machining brass, aluminium and softer alloys. The square geometry and standardised ISO designation ensure predictable engagement angles, while the modest corner radius supports dimensional control without compromising edge life.

Secure seating and straightforward compatibility

Compatibility with toolholders is determined by the insert’s form, relief angle, tolerance class, clamping arrangement, size and thickness. The square insert format, cylindrical hole, and a nominal thickness of 4.76 mm enable reliable clamping in matched ISO holders and turning bars. For shops standardising on ISO inserts, this plate offers straightforward interchangeability; correct selection of the clamping set and seat ensures repeatable zero points and minimises set-up time, improving overall process stability and throughput.

Material behaviour and surface-quality advantages

Being uncoated cemented carbide, the grade relies on a sharp cutting edge rather than a sacrificial coating, which benefits operations that favour low-friction metal removal and reduced smear on softer alloys. The 0.8 mm corner radius is a compromise between edge strength and surface finish capability, supporting fine profile work and finish turning. When paired with an appropriate chipbreaker 01 and suitable cutting parameters, the insert produces consistent chips and helps maintain machine tool efficiency and component quality.

Application guidance for maximum productivity

Intended for both external and internal turning, the insert performs best when the chosen chipbreaker and grade match the workpiece material, machining type and rigidity of the set-up. The ISO-standard format reduces tooling complexity and simplifies inventory management, while the 90° lead/approach geometry suits a wide range of facing and shoulder operations. Selecting this type of insert can shorten cycle times and reduce the need for frequent tool changes, thereby contributing to a more productive machining cell.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert best suited for?
The SNGG120408-01 TH10 insert is optimised for non-ferrous alloys and applications where an uncoated carbide edge delivers lower cutting forces and cleaner surfaces; it performs well on aluminium, brass and similar materials.

How is holder compatibility determined?
Compatibility depends on the holder form, relief angle, tolerance class, clamping arrangement, size and thickness; the ISO 120408 format of this insert simplifies selection for matching ISO toolholders.

What corner radius is fitted and what is it good for?
This insert has a 0.8 mm corner radius, which balances edge strength with the capacity for precise profiling and finish turning in a variety of turning tasks.

Is the cutting edge coated?
No — the TH10 grade is an uncoated cemented carbide; the sharp edge is designed to minimise cutting forces and reduce built-up edge in suitable materials.

Can you confirm the item designation and article number?
The plate is designated SNGG120408-01 TH10, article number 6806530, listed under SKU 6806530-Tungaloy for order and inventory purposes.
