TPGN 110304 LX11 Tungaloy turning insert — triangular ISO turning insert for external and internal turning

TPGN110304 LX11 is an ISO-standard triangular turning insert designed for reliable external and internal turning, offering a balanced mix of wear resistance and edge stability for a wide range of machining tasks

• TPGN 110304 ISO format
• LX11 Tungaloy carbide grade
• 11° relief angle for consistent cutting
• 0.4 mm corner radius for precise finishes

Stable cutting performance through wear-balanced carbide

The indexable insert uses the LX11 Tungaloy carbide grade to deliver a controlled combination of wear resistance and toughness that prolongs tool life under typical turning loads. This grade is formulated to maintain a robust cutting edge while resisting abrasive wear, which reduces the frequency of index changes and supports predictable cycle times. For production lines where repeatability is essential, the insert’s material properties translate directly into less downtime and steadier output.

Consistent surface quality with optimised geometry

The triangular shape and defined 0.4 mm corner radius produce reliable surface finishes on both roughing and light finishing passes. The 11° relief angle reduces rubbing at the flank, lowering cutting forces and improving stability in interrupted cuts. In practical terms, the relief angle is the clearance behind the cutting edge that prevents interference with the workpiece; a proper angle helps maintain edge life and dimensional accuracy. The ISO-compliant format also ensures interchangeability with standard holders, simplifying tool inventory.

Simple integration into established turning systems

Compatibility with a holder is determined by form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; the ISO format eases selection of a matched external holder or boring bar. The insert is supplied without a chipbreaker and without a hole, which suits applications where the holder or clamping system defines the chip control strategy. Its 3.18 mm thickness and triangular geometry provide secure clamping and repeatable seating, making it suitable for conventional lathe setups and CNC turning centres when paired with the appropriate external holder or bar.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The TPGN110304 LX11 insert from Tungaloy is formulated as a versatile carbide grade for a wide range of turning tasks; material-specific chipbreaker selection and cutting parameters should be chosen according to the workpiece material.

Is the insert compatible with standard ISO holders?
The insert follows the ISO designation and therefore fits holders designed for the TPGN110304 format, provided that the holder matches the required form, relief angle and clamping dimensions.

How does the 11° relief angle affect cutting?
An 11° relief angle reduces flank contact and cutting forces, which helps to preserve edge life and improve stability during both continuous and interrupted turning operations when using the Tungaloy grade.

Can this insert be used for finishing passes?
Yes; the 0.4 mm corner radius offers a balance between strength and the ability to produce fine surface finishes, making the insert suitable for light finishing as well as general turning.

What does the absence of a chipbreaker mean for chip control?
The insert is supplied without a chipbreaker, which allows chip control to be managed by the holder geometry and cutting conditions, offering flexibility for bespoke chip evacuation strategies.
