SNMG120408 KS20 — SNMG indexable turning insert for turning (Tungaloy)

A SNMG120408 KS20 insert designed for general turning tasks, offering ISO-standard form, a double-sided chipbreaker and a cylindrical locating hole for repeatable clamping.

• ISO-standard SNMG120408 form
• KS20 wear-resistant carbide grade
• Double-sided chipbreaker for stable chips
• Cylindrical locating hole for secure clamping

Reliable ISO form for consistent production results

The SNMG geometry follows the ISO-standard SNMG120408 form, which simplifies tool selection and changeover across compatible holders. The carbide substrate combined with the KS20 grade provides a controlled balance of wear resistance and toughness, resulting in longer tool life and reduced downtime. Because the insert is produced to standard tolerances, mounting accuracy and repeatability are improved, supporting predictable cutting forces and stable part tolerances in series production.

Stable chip control and robust edge for productive turning

Equipped with a double-sided chipbreaker and a cylindrical locating hole, the insert delivers dependable chip formation and secure clamping under varying cutting conditions. The 0° clearance geometry creates a neutral cutting action that supports heavy roughing as well as general finishing passes, while the 0.8 mm corner radius increases edge strength to withstand interrupted cuts. These features together help to maintain a consistent surface finish and lower the risk of premature edge failure, especially when machining steels and cast materials.

Practical choice for workshop flexibility and service support

Designed for turning applications, the insert integrates into a simple system: an ISO insert, a compatible external holder or boring bar, a clamp plate and the correct fastening screw. Selection of the right chipbreaker and grade should be matched to the workpiece material and machining strategy to achieve best results. For further assistance on matching holders, selecting cutting data or optimising tool life, Metav Werkzeuge provides technical guidance and specification support to keep production running efficiently.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for? The SNMG120408 KS20 insert is intended for turning and the KS20 grade provides a balance of wear resistance and toughness, making it suitable for a broad range of steels and general turning applications.

How does the cylindrical hole benefit clamping? The cylindrical locating hole ensures repeatable seating and secure clamping in compatible holders, improving positional accuracy and reducing the likelihood of movement under load when using the SNMG120408 KS20.

What does the 0° clearance mean in practice? A 0° clearance produces a neutral cutting action that enhances edge stability for heavier cuts; combined with the 0.8 mm corner radius, this supports robust performance during roughing and general turning tasks.

Is the insert reversible or single-use? The insert is double-sided with a chipbreaker on each usable edge, allowing rotation to a fresh cutting corner; correct handling and mounting extend usable life for the SNMG120408 KS20.
