SNGN 120408 LX11 turning insert — square, 90° corner, 0.8 mm | Tungaloy

A SNGN 120408 LX11 indexable insert designed for multidirectional turning within AddMultiTurn systems, suitable for longitudinal, face and profile turning operations

• LX11 carbide grade for balanced wear resistance
• Square insert with 90° cutting edge
• 0.8 mm corner radius for precise profiling
• Designed for multidirectional AddMultiTurn systems

High-efficiency turning for multidirectional machining

The insert is developed for productive turning where multiple cutting directions are required. Integrated into the AddMultiTurn system, the geometry and clamping concept reduce tool changes and increase uptime, contributing to a smoother production flow. The square plate and 90° included angle support robust engagement during face and longitudinal cuts, while the DIA chipbreaker stabilises chip formation. This yields measurable efficiency gains in cycle time and repeatability without compromising surface integrity.

Balanced grade and geometry for consistent edge life

The LX11 Tungaloy grade combines wear resistance and toughness to deliver a dependable balance between life and edge stability. The 0.8 mm corner radius increases edge strength for profile turning and gentle chamfering, while the neutral 0° relief angle maintains predictable cutting behaviour across different directions. These traits make the insert particularly suitable where repeatable performance and low tool-change frequency are priorities, translating technical features into lower downtime and reduced process variability.

Compatibility and practical application guidance

Built as a square, indexable plate with a thickness of 4.76 mm and a 12 mm size, this insert fits holders and clamping systems within the AddMultiTurn family that accept holeless square plates. The combination of carbide construction and Tungaloy grade ensures suitability for a broad range of turning tasks—longitudinal, facing and profiling—when the process requires both stability and adaptability. The absence of a centre hole simplifies inventory and mounting in dedicated toolholders designed for this format.

FAQ

Which turning operations is this insert suited for?
The SNGN120408-DIA LX11 Tungaloy insert is designed for multidirectional applications such as longitudinal turning, facing and profile turning within AddMultiTurn tool systems.

What does the LX11 grade provide?
LX11 is a Tungaloy carbide grade formulated to balance wear resistance and toughness, giving the insert stable cutting performance and good edge life under varying cutting conditions.

How does the 0.8 mm corner radius affect machining?
A 0.8 mm corner radius increases edge strength and improves profile accuracy during finishing and profiling passes while moderating stress concentration on the cutting edge.

Is the insert supplied with a centre hole?
The plate is supplied without a hole (no hole), compatible with holders designed for holeless square inserts.

Which system components are required to use this insert?
Use the insert with AddMultiTurn-compatible holders and the matching clamping system; the system concept comprises the holder, indexable plates and the clamping mechanism.
