SNGN 120408 TH10 — Tungaloy indexable insert for turning

SNGN120408-DIA TH10 is a square indexable insert engineered for multi‑directional turning, suited to longitudinal, face and profile turning with a single tool set‑up.

• Square insert SNGN 120408 TH10
• Sharp universal grade for non‑ferrous alloys
• Chipbreaker DIA for clean surface finish
• 0.8 mm corner radius for controlled feed

Faster process flows with multi‑directional capability

The AddMultiTurn system design enables a single indexable insert to serve multiple cutting directions, reducing tool changes and set‑up time while improving cycle efficiency. With the TH10 uncoated carbide grade, the insert exhibits a sharp cutting edge that lowers cutting forces in soft and non‑ferrous materials; this leads to reduced vibration and a more reliable machining rhythm. For workshops aiming to increase throughput without complex tooling stacks, the combination of multi‑directional use and a low‑force cutting edge translates directly into measurable productivity gains.

Predictable cut quality through consistent geometry

The square plate form and precise dimensions ensure rigidity and repeatability in everyday turning. Key geometry values such as the 12 mm inscribed size, 4.76 mm plate thickness and 90° cutting angle provide a stable contact interface with the holder, while the corner radius 0.8 mm helps to control feed behaviour and edge strength. These measurable features make tool selection straightforward and enable consistent surface results, so process engineers can specify feeds and speeds with reduced risk of unexpected burr or edge breakage.

Clean chips and surface finishes for non‑ferrous workpieces

The chipbreaker DIA is shaped to encourage uniform chip formation and evacuation when machining aluminium, brass and similar materials, helping to avoid built‑up edge and surface smearing. As an uncoated carbide grade, the insert keeps the cutting edge acute, which is particularly beneficial where low cutting forces and pristine finishes are priorities. Typical applications include longitudinal turning, facing and profile work where dimensional stability and finish are decisive quality criteria.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The SNGN120408-DIA TH10 insert is optimised for non‑ferrous materials such as aluminium and brass where a sharp, uncoated cutting edge helps to keep cutting forces low and surface quality high.

Which turning operations can this insert handle?
This indexable insert is designed for longitudinal turning, facing and profile turning within the AddMultiTurn multi‑directional system.

Is the insert coated or uncoated?
The TH10 grade is an uncoated carbide designed to deliver a sharp cutting edge for reduced cutting forces and clean finishes in suitable materials.

What chip control can be expected with this insert?
The DIA chipbreaker promotes steady chip formation and evacuation, helping to prevent built‑up edge and supporting consistent surface quality with non‑ferrous alloys.

What are the critical dimensions to consider when specifying the insert?
Key dimensions are the 12 mm inscribed size, 4.76 mm plate thickness and 0.8 mm corner radius, together with the 90° cutting angle.
