SNGG120408-01 SNGG 120408 TH10 — ISO turning insert (square, 90°) by Tungaloy

The SNGG120408-01 is an ISO‑standard indexable insert for precision external and internal turning, tailored for non‑ferrous materials and operations requiring low cutting forces and clean surfaces

• ISO‑standard square insert, 90° included angle
• Uncoated carbide grade TH10 for non‑ferrous metals
• 0.8 mm corner radius for fine surface finish
• Cylindrical hole for secure fastening

Consistent cutting with low forces and fine finishes

The indexable insert provides reliable cutting performance thanks to the uncoated cemented carbide composition and the TH10 material grade. The combination of a sharp, uncoated cutting edge and the selected carbide substrate reduces cutting resistance, which results in lower machine loads and improved machining stability. For applications such as aluminium, brass and similar non‑ferrous alloys, this geometry supports clean surface finishes and easier downstream processing. The characteristic of producing lower cutting forces also helps when machining on less rigid set‑ups, maintaining tolerances and reducing rework.

Straightforward compatibility with ISO holders for efficient setup

Compatibility with a toolholder is determined by the insert’s form, relief angle, tolerance class, attachment method, size and thickness. This ISO‑compliant plate uses the standard dimensions and a cylindrical fastening hole to ensure predictable fitment in a wide range of external holders and boring bars. The standardisation shortens set‑up time and reduces inventory complexity because the plate is compatible with holders that accept the SNGG geometry and the specified thickness. Clear identification of the insert series and dimensions enables quick matching to the correct clamping parts and replacement screws.

Geometry designed for surface quality and chip behaviour

The square plate geometry with a 90° included angle and a 0.8 mm corner radius balances edge strength and surface quality. The modest corner radius aids chip formation and supports smoother transitions on stepped or interrupted cuts, while limiting the risk of raised edges. The chipbreaker designation and the plate’s form guide chip flow to enhance evacuation when working with ductile, non‑ferrous materials. In practice, this means fewer built‑up edges on the tool, a more consistent finish on the workpiece and extended effective tool life in appropriate conditions.

Recommended applications and practical benefits

Designed for general turning and internal operations, the insert is especially suited to jobs where low cutting force and fine finish are priorities. Use the plate for finishing passes on aluminium components, light alloys and certain plastics where the uncoated cutting edge delivers reduced tendency for material adhesion. When assessing suitability, consider workpiece rigidity and the chosen holder: the plate performs best when matched to a stable clamping arrangement and cutting parameters adjusted for non‑ferrous machining. Choosing this insert supports reproducible results and efficient production cycles.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The SNGG120408-01 TH10 indexable insert from Tungaloy is optimised for non‑ferrous materials such as aluminium and brass, and for applications where an uncoated edge reduces adhesion and cutting forces.

How is compatibility with existing holders determined?
Compatibility depends on the insert’s form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness; ensure the holder accepts the SNGG form and the specified 12 mm inscribed circle and 4.76 mm thickness.

What does the 0.8 mm corner radius mean for finishing?
A 0.8 mm corner radius balances edge strength and surface quality, improving finish on external and internal turning while aiding chip control on ductile materials.

Is the insert coated?
No, this grade is uncoated cemented carbide (TH10), chosen to keep cutting forces low and reduce tendency for material adhesion in non‑ferrous machining.

Can this insert be used for roughing as well as finishing?
The geometry and modest corner radius are primarily suited to finishing and medium cuts where surface quality and low cutting force are required; for heavy roughing a larger radius or different grade may be preferable.
