SNGN 090308 LX11 — Tungaloy indexable turning insert (square 90°)

The SNGN 090308 LX11 is an ISO‑standard indexable insert for external and internal turning, engineered to deliver a balanced mix of wear resistance and edge stability for productive machining.

• ISO-cutting insert SNGN 090308 LX11
• Carbide grade Tungaloy LX11 for turning
• 0.8 mm corner radius for robust edges
• Square 90° geometry, thickness 3.18 mm

Consistent tool life through a balanced carbide grade

The LX11 grade combines wear resistance and toughness, giving the insert a stable cutting edge that withstands interrupted cuts and variable loading. As a result, process variance is reduced and the need for frequent indexing is minimised. The substrate and grade selection are oriented towards repeatable performance in turning applications; operators benefit from longer tool life and fewer unplanned tool changes, which supports steady cycle times and predictable production planning.

Geometry that controls finish and edge strength

The square 90° form with a 0.8 mm corner radius and 3.18 mm plate thickness provides a compromise between edge strength and surface finish. A larger corner radius increases edge robustness and resistance to chipping, while the moderate radius here still permits fine surface integrity on external and internal profiles. The 0° clearance angle is specified on the insert and influences contact conditions between workpiece and tool; it is essential to match this with the appropriate holder geometry to achieve the expected cutting engagement and surface result.

ISO compatibility for straightforward system integration

Supplied as an ISO-standard turning insert, compatibility with a chosen holder depends on form, clearance, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The insert is supplied without a hole, which must be considered when selecting a clamping system or cutter body. Standardisation simplifies stock management: matching ISO designation, size and tolerance class ensures secure mounting, correct seating and reliable repeatability across batches and machines.

Practical recommendations for process setup

For reliable use, pair the insert with a suitable holder and select a chipbreaker or an alternative grade tailored to the workpiece and cutting conditions; the current item is supplied without a chipbreaker so selection should reflect the material and feed strategy. The insert’s properties support both roughing and finishing steps when cutting parameters and coolant strategy are optimised. Where interrupted cuts occur, the combination of geometry and LX11 composition improves resilience and reduces edge breakdown, contributing to sustained productivity.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The SNGN 090308 LX11 insert, made in the Tungaloy LX11 grade, is intended for turning tasks where a balance of wear resistance and toughness is required; the grade supports a broad range of machining situations when combined with an appropriate chipbreaker and parameter set.

Can the insert be used for internal turning as well as external turning?
Yes, the ISO-form SNGN 090308 LX11 is suitable for both external and internal turning operations provided the selected holder and tool overhang match the required clearance and engagement.

How does the 0.8 mm corner radius affect results?
A 0.8 mm corner radius strengthens the cutting edge against chipping and improves tool life under variable loads, while still allowing acceptable surface finish for most turning cycles when feeds and speeds are adjusted accordingly.

Is a chipbreaker included with this insert?
This insert is supplied without a chipbreaker; selection of a suitable chip control solution or a different variant should be based on workpiece material, cutting parameters and the intended operation.

How is compatibility with cutter holders ensured?
Compatibility depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; verify these parameters against the holder specification or consult Metav Werkzeuge for compatibility guidance.
