SPGN 090312 BX360 – Indexable CBN Turning Insert (1.2 mm radius) by Tungaloy

The SPGN 090312 BX360 is an ISO-format indexable insert designed for precision turning of hardened steels and, depending on grade, certain cast irons, combining a CBN cutting layer with a carbide substrate for high‑hardness finishing.

• CBN grade BX360 for hardened steels
• ISO-sized SPGN insert for standard holders
• 11° clearance angle for secure cutting
• 1.2 mm corner radius for stable edge

Optimised finishing for hardened components

This indexable insert uses a CBN cutting layer in the BX360 grade, specifically engineered for the finishing of hardened steels and selective cast-iron applications. The combination of hard CBN and a carbide substrate provides superior wear resistance and thermal stability, which translates into longer tool life and fewer insert changes. The design supports fine surface finishes and tight dimensional control during finishing passes, reducing rework and increasing process uptime. Compatibility with standard ISO toolholders ensures straightforward integration into existing turning cells.

Clear, measurable installation and geometry benefits

The insert follows ISO sizing and the SPGN form, so holder compatibility depends on form, clearance, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The 11° clearance angle and 1.2 mm corner radius are balanced to offer a stable cutting edge while limiting cutting forces on small radii, which helps maintain concentricity and reduces chatter in less rigid setups. Plate thickness of 3.18 mm and the square plate shape provide predictable clamping behaviour; this reduces set-up time and simplifies tool management across batches and machines.

Practical advantages for workshop productivity

Using a dedicated CBN grade like BX360 enables shorter cycle times and consistent finishing quality in wear‑intensive end operations. The ISO conformity of the insert family allows stocking a compact range of sizes while covering multiple turning tasks. Fewer tool changes and longer edge life also support a better cost-to-performance ratio for series production. For shops seeking reproducible results on hard materials, the insert is a practical choice to stabilise processes and improve first-pass yields.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The SPGN 090312 BX360 insert is specified for hardened steels and, depending on the workpiece, suitable for some cast-iron finishing operations due to its CBN cutting layer.

How does the BX360 grade affect tool life?
The BX360 grade combines wear-resistant CBN with a carbide substrate to deliver extended edge life and consistent performance in high‑hardness finishing tasks.

Is this insert compatible with standard ISO holders?
Yes — the insert is an ISO-sized SPGN plate; compatibility depends on holder form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening and plate thickness as per ISO guidelines.

What cutting geometry should be expected from this insert?
The insert provides an 11° clearance angle and a 1.2 mm corner radius, offering a compromise between edge strength and the ability to achieve fine surface finishes.

Can this insert be used for roughing operations?
The BX360 CBN grade is optimised for finishing and high‑hardness applications; for heavy roughing on softer materials, alternative grades or substrates may be more economical.
