SNGN 120716 LX11 Wendeplatten - Tungaloy

Reliable turning performance results from the combination of LX11 cutting grade and a carbide substrate, delivering stable cutting edges and consistent wear behaviour; the ISO geometry with a 1.6 mm corner radius supports both external and internal turning. Order the insert directly via Metav Werkzeuge or ask our consultants if needed.

SNGN120716 LX11 Turning insert — square ISO insert for turning, Tungaloy

The SNGN120716 LX11 is an ISO-standard square turning insert designed for general external and internal turning, offering a balanced mix of wear resistance and edge stability for industrial machining.

• ISO SNGN 120716 geometry for standard holders
• LX11 Tungaloy grade for balanced wear resistance
• Square insert with 1.6 mm corner radius
• Compatible with external and internal turning

Consistent edge life from material and geometry

The combination of the LX11 grade and a carbide substrate provides a predictable wear profile and improved edge stability under varied cutting conditions. The chosen cutting material is engineered to balance wear resistance with sufficient toughness, which reduces the frequency of unexpected tool changes and supports steady production runs. A 1.6 mm corner radius increases edge strength and helps dampen vibration in interrupted cuts, thereby improving surface finish and reducing the risk of chipping. This results in a clear benefit: fewer indexings and more uninterrupted machine time, contributing directly to process efficiency.

Reliable compatibility and holder considerations

As an ISO SNGN120716 insert, compatibility with toolholders is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness. The insert is a square insert with 0° clearance, which suits many standard holder geometries and provides a neutral cutting profile that can be used for both roughing and semi-finish operations depending on the chosen holder and cutting data. When selecting a holder, match the tolerance class and clamp system to ensure stable clamping and repeatable positioning; correct matching reduces chatter and preserves the insert’s cutting edge integrity.

System approach for predictable production

The insert is intended to be used within a complete system: a matching external holder or boring bar, appropriate shim or clamp set, and replacement screws form the setup. This system view supports process reliability and easier inventory planning: standardised ISO geometry simplifies holder interchangeability and reduces the need for specialised components. The robust edge performance of the LX11 grade promotes stable cutting and predictable chip formation, which in turn helps maintain consistent part tolerances and surface quality across batches.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The LX11 grade and carbide substrate are designed to offer a balanced performance across a wide range of materials commonly encountered in turning operations; select the matching chipbreaker and cutting data for optimal results.

How does the 1.6 mm corner radius affect cutting?
A 1.6 mm corner radius increases edge strength, reduces chipping risk and helps achieve a consistent surface finish in both external and internal turning.

Is the insert compatible with standard ISO holders?
Yes, the insert follows the ISO SNGN120716 geometry; compatibility depends on holder form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness.

Can the insert be used for finishing operations?
With appropriate holder geometry and cutting parameters, the insert can be applied for semi-finish work; the LX11 grade provides a compromise between wear resistance and toughness to support a range of operations.

What is the manufacturer article number and where is it from?
The manufacturer article number is 6806580 (SKU 6806580-Tungaloy) and the insert is supplied by Tungaloy.
