TNGN160408 LX11 turning insert — triangular 60° geometry (Tungaloy)

The TNGN160408 LX11 is an ISO‑standard triangular indexable insert designed for external and internal turning, offering a 60° cutting geometry, a 0.8 mm corner radius and a carbide substrate optimised for stable edge life.

• ISO triangular insert, 60° geometry
• Tungaloy LX11 grade for wear resistance
• Corner radius 0.8 mm for edge strength
• Carbide substrate, 4.76 mm plate thickness

Precise edge stability for productive turning

The Tungaloy grade LX11 combines wear resistance and toughness to maintain a reliable cutting edge during continuous turning cycles. The 60° geometry and 0.8 mm corner radius produce a balance between strength and form accuracy, which helps to reduce tool changes and maintain consistent part dimensions. For machining tasks where repeatability and low scrap rates matter, this insert supports a more predictable process and contributes to shorter cycle times through sustained performance.

ISO compatibility and simple holder matching

As an ISO‑standard insert, compatibility with holders depends on geometry, relief angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness. The triangular shape and 4.76 mm plate thickness give a robust contact area in the pocket, while the 0° relief is part of the profile designers must match to the intended holder. The insert has no central hole and no integrated chipbreaker, so it is used with a suitable external or internal turning holder and the recommended clamping set and replacement screws for secure fixation and repeatable seating.

Practical guidance for reliable cutting results

This indexable insert is supplied in a carbide substrate tailored for turning applications; because it lacks an integrated chipbreaker, the machining strategy should pair the insert with an appropriate geometry or holder that manages chip formation for the specific workpiece and operation. Selecting the correct grade, cutting parameters and clamping ensures stable chip control and long tool life, reducing downtime. Where surface finish and dimensional stability are priorities, the combination of LX11 and the triangular 60° form offers a dependable solution for a range of turning tasks.
