SPGN 090308 BX360 indexable insert — CBN grade for hardened steels, square 90° geometry (Tungaloy)

SPGN 090308 BX360 is an indexable insert designed for multidirectional turning and high‑hardness finishing, delivering stable edge life and repeatable results in demanding production environments

• CBN grade BX360 for hardened steels
• Compatible with AddMultiTurn system
• Square 09 insert with 90° geometry
• No hole; chipbreaker‑free design

Maximise throughput on hardened components

The BX360 grade, based on cubic boron nitride (CBN), is formulated for high‑hardness machining and wear‑intensive finishing operations. When applied to hardened steels the CBN cutting edge maintains a stable cutting line longer than conventional carbide grades, reducing tool change frequency and unplanned downtime. The result is measurable process efficiency: higher material removal rates at finishing feeds and a predictable tool life that supports lean production planning.

Predictable edge condition for superior surface finish

The square 90° geometry combined with a 0.8 mm corner radius provides good support for finishing passes while limiting vibration on slender parts. This geometry helps to produce consistent, tight tolerance surfaces during longitudinal, facing and profile turning operations. The insert’s 11° clearance angle reduces rubbing in interrupted cuts and contributes to improved surface integrity, making it suitable for precision finishing where component appearance and dimensional control are critical.

System compatibility and handling benefits

Designed for the AddMultiTurn multidirectional turning system, the insert integrates into a holder–insert–clamping concept that simplifies toolsetting for several cutting directions with a single tool. The square format (09) and the absence of a hole or chipbreaker make mounting straightforward and reduce setup complexity. The insert’s cemented carbide body ensures mechanical stability while the CBN cutting layer provides the required hardness for finishing hardened materials.

Materials, applications and recommended use

Primarily intended for turning of hardened steels and, depending on execution, suitable for cast iron finishing, this insert excels in end‑of‑line machining where wear resistance and surface quality are decisive. The design targets finishing and near‑finish passes rather than heavy roughing, offering a blend of process security and repeatable performance that supports high‑mix, low‑volume and serial production alike.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The SPGN 090308 BX360 insert is primarily intended for hardened steels and, depending on the execution, can be used for cast iron finishing; the CBN cutting phase ensures wear resistance in high‑hardness applications.

Which tool system accepts this insert?
This indexable insert is designed for the AddMultiTurn multidirectional turning system and matches holders intended for square 09 inserts with 90° geometry.

Is there a chipbreaker or mounting hole on the insert?
No — the SPGN 090308 BX360 is supplied without a hole and without a chipbreaker, allowing specific holder clamping and finishing process strategies.

How does the corner radius affect performance?
The 0.8 mm corner radius provides a compromise between strength and surface finish, supporting stable cutting in finishing operations while limiting thermal and mechanical stress on the CBN edge.

What is the manufacturer SKU and article number for ordering?
The product is listed as SKU 6807054‑Tungaloy with the manufacturer article number 6807054; the internal manufacturer SKU is TUN6807054.
