SNGN 120404 LX11 indexable turning insert for external and internal turning by Tungaloy — square geometry, 90° cutting angle

SNGN 120404 LX11 indexable insert designed for general turning applications; square‑shaped ISO insert for compatibility with standard holders and bores

• ISO 120404 form for standard holders
• LX11 Tungaloy carbide grade for wear resistance
• 0.4 mm nose radius for fine surface finish
• Square geometry with 90° cutting angle

Reliable ISO form and holder compatibility for stable machining

The ISO‑normalised SNGN 120404 form ensures straightforward integration with widely used turning holders: the square geometry and the 90° cutting angle create a predictable cutting engagement that supports consistent chip load and tool life. Compatibility is determined by the insert form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness; adherence to ISO dimensions simplifies inventory management and reduces set‑up time. The listed 0° clearance angle means the insert is ground for neutral clearance; this helps maintain cutting edge strength where rigid setups are used.

Durable cutting performance from LX11 Tungaloy carbide

Equipped with the LX11 grade from Tungaloy, the insert combines wear resistance and edge stability to extend index intervals and preserve surface quality. The tungsten carbide substrate provides hardness for abrasive resistance while the tailored LX11 composition improves toughness under interrupted cuts. For practical terms: expect longer effective life between indexings and steadier component finish with fewer grade‑related variances. The absence of an integrated chipbreaker suits applications where custom chip control is achieved via tool geometry or external devices.

Precise finish capability and mechanical rigidity for predictable results

A 0.4 mm nose radius balances strength and surface finish, making the insert suitable for light finishing passes and fine external contours; a larger radius would favour heavy cuts, but here the focus is on dimensional accuracy and surface integrity. The plate thickness of 4.76 mm and 12 mm size contribute to mechanical rigidity when clamped in a proper holder, reducing chatter and enhancing repeatability. Use this insert in the recommended system build: ISO insert, matching external holder or boring bar, shim/clamp set and correct mounting screw; this approach secures both process stability and consistent results across batches.

FAQ

What applications is this insert suited for? The Tungaloy SNGN 120404 LX11 indexable insert is intended for external and internal turning where a square ISO insert and a fine nose radius are required.

How does the LX11 grade affect performance? The LX11 grade from Tungaloy enhances wear resistance and edge stability, which helps the insert maintain cutting performance and consistent surface finish over multiple indexings.

Is a chipbreaker included with this insert? No, this insert is supplied without a chipbreaker; chip control should be achieved via tool geometry, feed selection or external chip‑control devices.

Which holders are compatible with the ISO 120404 form? Holders designed for ISO SNGN 120404 inserts — matching form, size, thickness, fixing method and tolerance class — are compatible; correct matching ensures secure clamping and process stability.

What effect does the 0.4 mm nose radius have on the part finish? A 0.4 mm nose radius provides a good balance between strength and surface finish, improving dimensional accuracy and producing finer surface quality on finishing passes.
