TNGN 160708 LX11 Tungaloy indexable insert for turning (ISO 160708)

TNGN 160708 LX11 is an ISO-standard triangular indexable insert designed for external and internal turning applications, offering a balanced mix of wear resistance, edge stability and compatibility with ISO turning holders.

• ISO-standard triangular insert (TNGN 160708)
• Tungaloy LX11 grade for wear resistance
• 0.8 mm corner radius for edge strength
• Compatible with ISO turning holders, 60° geometry

Predictable compatibility and rugged design for turning

The ISO-standard triangular design provides a consistent datum for fixture and holder selection, simplifying tool changeovers and reducing setup time. Manufactured from carbide, the insert combines rigidity with thermal stability to withstand typical lathe conditions. The 0.8 mm corner radius increases edge robustness, which helps to avoid premature chipping during intermittent cuts, while the 60° included angle supports standard turning geometries. Compatibility is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening and thickness, so matching the insert to the correct holder yields reliable repeatability in production.

Performance advantages in machining and tool life

This grade, LX11, is formulated to balance wear resistance with sufficient toughness to maintain a stable cutting edge across a broad range of materials. The result is longer tool life and fewer unscheduled indexings, which improves throughput and lowers overall tooling costs. Because the insert is supplied without a chipbreaker and without a hole, it is particularly well suited to operations where a specific chip control strategy or a designated clamp arrangement is required. When paired with a suitable turning holder or boring bar, the system—insert, holder, shim/clamp set and replacement screws—enables a productive turning cycle with predictable outcomes.

Choosing the right grade and practical selection tips

Selecting LX11 means prioritising a compromise between flank wear resistance and edge stability; wear resistance reduces dimensional drift, while toughness reduces chipping in variable feed or interrupted cuts. For unfamiliar materials or unstable set-ups, select a geometry and chip control that match the workpiece and machining conditions. If chip evacuation or surface finish is critical, consider an insert with an appropriate chipbreaker geometry or a different grade optimised for high-speed or finishing work. Simple measures—checking holder compatibility, ensuring the correct fastening torque and confirming the clearance angle—help to unlock the full potential of this insert in production.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The TNGN 160708 LX11 insert is designed for general turning tasks and is suitable for a broad range of materials when the grade LX11 is matched to the workpiece and machining conditions.

Does the insert include a chipbreaker or mounting hole?
This insert is supplied without a chipbreaker and without a hole; the TNGN 160708 configuration is intended for applications where a specific chip control solution or clamp arrangement is used.

How does the 0.8 mm corner radius affect performance?
A 0.8 mm corner radius on the TNGN 160708 increases edge strength and resistance to chipping, which supports longer tool life in medium-duty turning operations while influencing the achievable surface finish.

What must be checked for holder compatibility?
Compatibility requires matching the insert form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness to the chosen ISO turning holder to ensure secure clamping and accurate positioning.

Can this insert be used for interrupted cuts?
Yes—when mounted in a suitably rigid holder and when the LX11 grade is deemed appropriate for the workpiece, the geometry and corner radius provide enhanced edge stability for interrupted cutting, though selection should consider toughness versus wear resistance.
