DNMM 150404 DX120 — Turning insert (PCD, 55°) by Tungaloy

The DNMM150404-DIA DX120 is an ISO‑standard rhombic turning insert designed for high‑speed machining of aluminium, non‑ferrous alloys and abrasive non‑metals.

• Polycrystalline diamond (PCD) grade DX120
• Rhombic 55° geometry for finishing
• Cylindrical hole for secure clamping
• Very long tool life at high cutting speeds

Maximise productivity in aluminium turning

The use of polycrystalline diamond (PCD) in the DX120 grade enables substantially higher cutting speeds compared with conventional carbide inserts, permitting faster cycle times and fewer tool changes. For machining aluminium and other non‑ferrous materials, this results in a measurable reduction in machining time while maintaining dimensional stability. The economically oriented benefit is clear: extended operating intervals lead to lower tooling cost per component without compromising process throughput.

Achieve consistent surface finish and edge stability

A rhombic 55° geometry combined with the DIA chipbreaker is optimised for producing smooth finishes on sensitive materials; the geometry promotes controlled chip flow and reduces smearing. The 0° relief angle supports low cutting forces in light finishing passes, which helps maintain edge stability and reproducible part quality. This balance between cutting geometry and chip control reduces rework and improves first‑pass yield.

Clear compatibility and straightforward clamping

Compatibility follows ISO norms: the designation 150404 defines the insert form, while plate size and thickness guide holder selection. The insert features a cylindrical hole and a plate thickness of 4.76 mm, with a plate size of 15 mm and a corner radius of 0.4 mm, enabling secure and repeatable clamping in standard ISO turning holders. The ISO conformity simplifies tool procurement and reduces setup uncertainty in mixed‑machine environments.

Process guidance for reliable operation and economy

A cemented carbide substrate with a PCD cutting layer is engineered for wear resistance and long life when machining abrasive non‑metals and alloys. Selecting the appropriate chipbreaker and grade according to workpiece material and machine stability ensures predictable performance and reduced downtime. The result is a process that is both productive and repeatable, supporting stable batch production and efficient single‑piece flows.
