SNGN120712-T1 LX11 square 12 mm indexable turning insert, 1.2 mm radius — Tungaloy

The SNGN120712-T1 LX11 is a square indexable insert designed for multidirectional turning within the AddMultiTurn system, suited to longitudinal, facing and profile turning operations.

• Multidirectional machining compatible
• Carbide grade LX11 for wear resistance
• 1.2 mm corner radius for profile work
• Square 12 mm insert, 90° lead angle

Maximise metal removal with predictable performance

The AddMultiTurn concept places a strong emphasis on stable, repeatable cutting. By combining a carbide substrate with the LX11 grade, the insert offers a balance of wear resistance and edge toughness that reduces unexpected tool changes and variances in cycle times. The 1.2 mm corner radius helps distribute cutting forces and smooths the transition in profile turning, which limits chatter and supports a steady material removal rate. For practical terms: a larger corner radius increases insert life on interrupted cuts and improves finish on radiused contours.

Flexible geometry for multiple turning directions

A multidirectional insert simplifies tooling setups by permitting several cutting orientations with one part. The square 12 mm form and the 90° lead angle enable secure positioning in holders configured for longitudinal, face and profile turning; the right-angle geometry promotes predictable chip flow and contact conditions. The integrated T1 chipbreaker has been optimised for common turning feeds, guiding chips away from the cutting edge to reduce re-cutting and enhance surface integrity. This versatility shortens downtime for tool changes and eases programme planning on mixed-production lathes.

Consistent results through grade and clamping reliability

The insert’s LX11 composition, developed by Tungaloy, provides reliable edge stability under varying cutting speeds and materials, benefitting workshops that require reproducible part quality. The square plate design without a hole simplifies clamping and minimises variability in seating; when combined with the AddMultiTurn holder and clamping system, it enables secure, repeatable indexing. Where surface finish and dimensional repeatability matter, this solution supports longer production runs with fewer interventions and predictable maintenance cycles.

FAQ

What materials can this insert machine effectively?
The LX11 grade in this insert is formulated for a broad range of steels and offers good wear resistance and edge stability when used in turning operations.

Is the insert suitable for profile turning and face turning?
Yes. The square 12 mm geometry and 1.2 mm corner radius permit profile, face and longitudinal turning within the AddMultiTurn system.

How is chip control achieved with this insert?
Chip control relies on the integrated T1 chipbreaker geometry and the LX11 grade; together they guide chips away from the cutting zone and help prevent re-cutting.

Does the insert require a central hole for clamping?
No. This design is a no-hole, square insert intended to be clamped securely in the AddMultiTurn holder.
