SPGN 090308 LX11 indexable insert for turning — Tungaloy

SPGN090308 LX11 is a square indexable turning insert engineered for multidirectional use in the AddMultiTurn system, suitable for longitudinal, facing and profile turning operations.

• Multidirectional turning system compatibility
• LX11 grade for wear resistance
• Carbide substrate for edge stability
• 0.8 mm corner radius, 90° cutting angle

Consistent edge life through optimised material selection

The combination of the LX11 grade and a robust carbide substrate provides a balanced mix of wear resistance and toughness, helping to extend tool life under varied cutting conditions. LX11 is formulated to complement the insert geometry so that stable chip formation and reliable edge behaviour are achieved during both light finishing cuts and heavier passes. This results in fewer tool changes and more predictable process windows on production runs.

Greater process flexibility with multidirectional cutting

Designed for the AddMultiTurn system, the insert supports multidirectional machining with a single tool body, enabling longitudinal, facing and profile turning without frequent indexable changes. The square 09 format and the 90° approach angle allow efficient orientation in the toolholder, while the absence of a chipbreaker keeps the edge suitable for fine finishing paths where surface quality matters. The result is higher machine utilisation and reduced fixture complexity when switching between directions.

Compact geometry for precision and secure clamping

A corner radius of 0.8 mm combined with a plate thickness of 3.18 mm delivers a stable cutting edge that withstands deflection and vibration in restrained setups. The insert is supplied without hole and in a square form, so it fits clamping systems that rely on friction and top clamps in the AddMultiTurn family. The compact geometry assists in achieving tight tolerances and consistent repeatability in batch production, especially where profile accuracy and surface finish are priorities.

Practical advantages for workshop integration

The insert’s standard ISO designation and the SPGN format simplify tool selection in automated tool management systems. Compatibility with established holders, combined with the Tungaloy material grade, supports predictable turnaround times and reduced set-up effort. With its focus on stable chip control and edge security, the insert contributes to lower overall tooling costs and improved throughput when integrated into a coherent turning strategy.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for profile turning?
The SPGN090308 LX11 Tungaloy indexable insert is specified for longitudinal, facing and profile turning and is compatible with the AddMultiTurn multidirectional turning system for those operations.

What does the LX11 grade provide in this insert?
LX11 is a Tungaloy grade that improves wear resistance and edge stability, helping the insert maintain a consistent cutting edge under varying loads.

Which toolholders are compatible with this square insert?
Square format holders designed for the SPGN09 series and the AddMultiTurn system are compatible; the insert is supplied without a fixing hole and requires holders that clamp the square plate securely.

How does the 0.8 mm corner radius affect finish and strength?
A 0.8 mm corner radius balances edge strength and the ability to produce fine surface finishes, offering improved resistance to chipping while allowing precise profile control.

Is a chipbreaker included on the insert?
This SPGN090308 LX11 insert is supplied without a chipbreaker, making it suitable for finishing applications where chip form and surface finish are prioritised.
