SNMN 120412 UX30 square turning insert by Tungaloy — 90° geometry, 1.2 mm radius

The SNMN 120412 UX30 is an ISO‑standard, square indexable insert designed for external and internal turning, offering a sharp uncoated carbide grade that prioritises low cutting forces and reliable chip formation.

• ISO‑standard square insert SNMN 120412
• Uncoated carbide UX30 for sharp cutting edge
• 90° geometry for versatile turning operations
• Corner radius 1.2 mm for predictable chip control

High‑precision cutting with a sharp, uncoated carbide grade

The combination of the UX30 uncoated carbide grade and a sharp edge geometry reduces cutting forces and supports stable chip formation, which directly benefits cycle times and surface finish in turning operations. For components where reduced cutting pressure and consistent material removal are required, this insert performs well across a range of steels and machinable alloys. The sharp cutting action also aids in achieving clean part edges with less tendency for smearing, translating into fewer secondary operations and improved process efficiency.

Reliable interchangeability and quick integration into machining cells

Manufactured to ISO dimensions, the insert ensures predictable fitment with matching holders and turning bars; compatibility is defined by form, 0° relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The standardised format simplifies inventory management and tool changeover, because the insert integrates easily into existing tool systems. Specifying an ISO‑standard insert reduces setup variability and helps standardise machining processes across different machines and operators, supporting reproducible results and reduced downtime.

Geometry and form tuned for consistent chip control and versatility

A square insert with 90° geometry and a 1.2 mm corner radius offers robust edge support for general turning tasks while delivering controlled chip behaviour. The plate thickness of 4.76 mm gives mechanical stability at higher feed rates, and the absence of an integral chipbreaker means chip control depends on selecting the correct grade and external tooling or coolant strategy for the workpiece material. For many turning applications, this creates a flexible solution that can be adapted by choosing the appropriate holder and cutting parameters to match the material and desired surface quality.
