TNGA 160404 LX11 Tungaloy turning insert — triangular ISO insert for turning, 60°

The TNGA160404 LX11 is an ISO-standard triangular turning insert by Tungaloy, designed for general external and internal turning where a balance of wear resistance and edge stability is required.

• TNGA160404 ISO triangular insert, 60°
• LX11 Tungaloy carbide grade for balanced wear resistance
• 0.4 mm nose radius for consistent edge engagement
• Cylindrical hole and 4.76 mm thickness for secure clamping

Consistent cutting performance for productive turning

The triangular geometry and the LX11 carbide grade deliver a controlled compromise between wear resistance and toughness, which helps to maintain cutting-edge integrity under varying cutting conditions. In practice, this means fewer unscheduled index changes and more consistent component tolerances—an outcome particularly valuable for batch production and mixed-series work. The insert’s design supports both external and internal turning tasks and is especially suitable where predictable tool life contributes directly to process stability.

Clear compatibility and secure clamping reduce setup risk

Compatibility with toolholders is determined by form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The insert features a cylindrical hole, a 4.76 mm plate thickness and a 60° vertex angle, all of which aid secure clamping and correct seat alignment in standard ISO holders. A 0.4 mm nose radius provides reliable edge engagement while helping to control cutting forces and surface finish; the absence of an integrated chipbreaker means chip control must be matched to material and cutting parameters at the holder or process level.

Practical selection guidance for reliable parts quality

Select the LX11 grade where a balanced combination of edge stability and longevity is required; the grade complements insert geometry to suit wear-prone and interrupted cuts alike. For cast components, alloyed steels or general steel workpieces, choose a holder geometry and clamping set that match the insert’s form and tolerance to avoid positional deviation. Where higher toughness or specialised coatings are needed, consider alternative grades or coated variants to extend tool life under high thermal or abrasive loads.

FAQ

What materials can this insert machine?
The TNGA160404 LX11 Tungaloy turning insert is intended for general turning and offers a balanced performance on a wide range of steels and common alloyed materials; suitability depends on the selected holder and cutting data.

How does the LX11 grade affect tool life?
The LX11 grade combines wear resistance and toughness to provide stable cutting edges and predictable tool life under standard turning conditions, reducing the frequency of indexing and regrinding.

Is there a chipbreaker on this insert?
This insert is supplied without a chipbreaker; chip control should be managed through holder selection, cutting parameters and process setup.

Which holder features must be matched to the insert?
Holder form, relief (clearance) angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness determine compatibility and clamping reliability for this ISO triangular insert.

Can this insert be used for internal turning?
Yes, the geometry supports both external and internal turning operations when paired with a suitable boring bar or holder designed for the insert size and clamping style.
