TNGA 160408 LX11 Turning insert — AddMultiTurn multidirectional system (Tungaloy)

The TNGA160408 LX11 is a triangular indexable insert designed for multidirectional turning in the AddMultiTurn system, offering robust edge stability for longitudinal, facing and profiling operations.

• Multidirectional turning compatibility
• Triangular geometry for flexible indexing
• 0.8 mm corner radius for robust edges
• LX11 grade for balanced wear resistance

Predictable productivity for multidirectional turning

The combination of the AddMultiTurn system and the LX11 grade delivers a rational, performance-led solution for shops seeking predictable cycle times. The alloy and microstructure of the grade are tuned to balance wear resistance and toughness, reducing unexpected tool changes and improving process uptime. As the insert is intended for turning, its geometry supports consistent chip control in longitudinal, facing and profiling passes, which translates into fewer interruptions and a clearer cost-per-part calculation.

Secure clamping and edge stability for repeatable results

A triangular plate form with a cylindrical hole and a 60° tool angle provides stable seating and repeatable indexing. The 0.8 mm corner radius ensures a robust cutting edge that tolerates moderate interruptions and variable feed conditions while maintaining dimensional stability. Manufactured from cemented carbide, the insert’s material resists abrasive wear and retains edge geometry under mixed cutting loads. These technical choices reduce the frequency of regrinding and lower the likelihood of scrap parts, supporting steady throughput in production environments.

Practical application range and handling benefits

Intended for conventional turning tasks, the insert is suitable for longitudinal turning, facing and light profiling where a balance between surface finish and tool life is required. The absence of a chipbreaker simplifies selection for diverse machines and workpiece materials; process engineers can tune feeds and speeds without being constrained by specialised chip formers. The indexable design allows quick corner changes, minimising downtime and enabling efficient inventory management for high-mix, low-volume or just-in-time production scenarios.

FAQ

What applications suit this insert best?
The TNGA160408 LX11 insert is optimised for longitudinal turning, facing and profiling within multidirectional setups, offering a balance of edge life and surface quality.

Which material classes can be machined with this grade?
The LX11 grade and cemented carbide substrate provide a broad capability across common steels and alloyed steels for standard turning tasks.

How does the triangular form affect tooling strategy?
A triangular geometry increases indexable positions per insert and supports flexible toolholder arrangements, meaning fewer insert changes and better stock utilisation with this insert.

Is a chipbreaker included, and what does that imply?
This insert is supplied without a chipbreaker; the open geometry allows process engineers to select feeds and speeds tailored to the workpiece and machine setup.
