SNGN 120708 LX11 SNGN Turning Insert – Square, 90° Cutting Angle (Tungaloy)

SNGN 120708 LX11 is an ISO‑standard indexable turning insert designed for general turning tasks where edge stability and predictable wear behaviour are required.

• ISO standard SNGN 120708 insert
• Tungaloy LX11 carbide grade
• Square form with 90° cutting angle
• 0.8 mm corner radius for edge strength

Consistent edge performance and wear resistance

The LX11 grade, supplied by Tungaloy, pairs a wear‑resistant cemented carbide substrate with a formulation tuned to deliver a balanced combination of toughness and edge life. This balance reduces unscheduled tool changes and supports steady production cycles, making the insert particularly suitable where consistent component quality and repeatability matter. The material choice helps maintain cutting‑edge geometry under mixed cutting conditions, which in turn keeps machining times predictable and post‑process inspection requirements to a minimum.

Rigidity and geometry for stable turning results

A square plate with a 90° included angle and a 0.8 mm corner radius provides a robust cutting edge that tolerates intermittent cuts and offers increased edge strength compared with finer radii. The 7.94 mm thickness gives axial and radial rigidity when secured in a compatible holder, helping to reduce vibration and improve surface finish. For external and internal turning operations, this geometry supports reliable chip formation and dimensional control when paired with an appropriately selected holder and clamping set.

Simple system integration and practical handling

The insert is an ISO‑conforming indexable plate intended to work within a standard turning system comprising a compatible external holder or boring bar, an underlay/clamp set and replacement screws. Compatibility is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening style, size and thickness; this allows flexible use across many common toolholders. The design omits a chipbreaker and a centre hole, which must be considered when matching the item to clamping methods and process demands. The product is supplied as the insert itself; suitable fixtures and holders are available separately.

FAQ

What is the primary application for this insert?
The SNGN 120708 LX11 insert is designed for turning operations; it is intended for both external and internal turning where a square, robust cutting edge is required.

Which materials is the LX11 grade suited to?
The LX11 grade from Tungaloy is formulated to provide a compromise between wear resistance and toughness, supporting a broad range of turning tasks; selection of the exact grade and chipformer should match the workpiece material and machining stability.

Are there any special holder requirements?
Compatibility depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness; use a holder specified for ISO SNGN inserts and ensure clamping elements match the 12 mm plate size and 7.94 mm thickness.

Does this insert include a chipbreaker or centre hole?
This item is supplied without a chipbreaker and without a centre hole; clamping and chip management must be planned accordingly.

What is the supplier reference for reordering?
The manufacturer article number is 6806576 and the manufacturer SKU is TUN6806576 for use when reordering or querying specifications.
