Take advantage of the combination of wear-resistant tungsten carbide, the LX11 grade balance of toughness and edge stability, and the 60° triangle geometry for reliable turning performance; order the TNGA 160412 LX11 directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult our specialists for cutting-edge integration advice.

TNGA 160412 LX11 — Tungaloy indexable insert for turning, triangle 60°, R1.2 mm

The TNGA 160412 LX11 is an ISO-conforming triangle indexable insert designed for external and internal turning. Its combination of a tungsten carbide substrate and the LX11 cutting grade provides a compromise between wear resistance and edge stability, while the 60° geometry and 1.2 mm corner radius support stable engagement and multiple indexing positions in serial production.

• ISO triangle insert TNGA 160412 LX11
• Robust tungsten carbide body
• 60° cutting angle, R1.2 mm corner radius
• Cylindrical hole, 4.76 mm thickness

Consistent cutting performance through material and geometry

The insert’s tungsten carbide construction and the LX11 grade deliver predictable tool life by balancing abrasion resistance with sufficient toughness to resist chipping. The triangle form gives three usable cutting corners, ensuring rapid re-indexing and reduced downtime. The 1.2 mm corner radius helps spread cutting forces for smoother finishes on typical turning tasks while the 60° cutting angle is suited to standard external and internal turning profiles, translating directly into steady component tolerance control.

Simple integration with ISO-holder systems for fast tool changes

Produced to ISO dimensions, the insert fits compatible holders where form, clearance angle, tolerance class, attachment style, size and thickness match. The insert features a cylindrical hole for secure clamping and a plate thickness of 4.76 mm, enabling solid contact with the seat and reliable repeatability. As part of a turning system—insert, suitable external holder or boring bar, shim and clamp assembly—this component supports quick replacement and predictable set-up times in batch and continuous machining.

Productivity advantages for everyday workshop use

Selecting the right grade and geometry reduces scrap and machine idle time. With the LX11 grade focusing on edge stability and wear performance, batch runs become more economical through extended edge life and fewer interruptions for tool changes. The design is intended for a wide range of turning tasks; matching the insert to a compatible chip control geometry and clamping arrangement helps achieve consistent surface quality and process reliability, which supports higher overall throughput in production environments.

FAQ

What materials can this insert machine effectively? The TNGA 160412 LX11 Tungaloy indexable insert is formulated for turning applications; the LX11 grade offers a balance of wear resistance and toughness suitable for a broad range of steels and general turning tasks when matched with the correct holder and cutting parameters.

Is the insert compatible with ISO holders? Yes, the insert follows ISO dimensions (160412) so compatibility depends on matching holder form, free angle, tolerance class, attachment method, size and thickness typical for ISO turning inserts.

How many cutting edges are available per insert? The triangle plate form provides three usable edges; re-indexing restores a fresh cutting corner to maintain consistent performance during production.

Does this insert include a chipbreaker? This specific designation is supplied without a chipbreaker; chip control should be achieved by selecting an appropriate geometry and machining parameters in combination with the chosen holder.

What does the 1.2 mm corner radius influence on turning results? A 1.2 mm corner radius improves surface finish and distributes cutting forces across a larger edge, which can reduce chatter and extend edge life in standard turning operations.
