CCGT120408 KS05F — Indexable Turning Insert for Turning (Tungaloy)

CCGT120408-AL KS05F indexable insert engineered for external and internal turning with rhombic geometry and a 0.8 mm corner radius

• ISO CCGT geometry, rhombic form, with 7° clearance
• KS05F Tungaloy grade for wear and edge stability
• AL chipbreaker optimised for general turning
• 0.8 mm corner radius for robust edge strength

Accurate fit for standard toolholders and predictable mounting

The ISO CCGT geometry ensures straightforward interchangeability with ISO‑compliant toolholders. Compatibility is defined by the insert form, 7° clearance, tolerance class, fastening method, plate size and thickness; this predictability reduces set‑up time and avoids trial‑and‑error adjustments. For production environments where quick insert changes and repeatable clamping are essential, the standardised shape guarantees that component tolerances and holder specifications match reliably, maintaining process stability across shifts and machines.

Balanced substrate for extended life and consistent surface quality

The KS05F grade from Tungaloy is formulated to combine wear resistance with sufficient toughness, providing a balanced performance for a variety of turning tasks. Manufactured on a cemented carbide substrate, the grade supports stable cutting edges and prolonged tool life, which translates into longer uninterrupted runtimes and fewer changeovers. That balance helps to conserve tooling costs while delivering consistent surface finish and dimensional accuracy during series production.

Optimised chip control and secure clamping for stable machining

Equipped with an AL chipbreaker, this insert promotes controlled chip formation in typical turning operations and helps to maintain low cutting forces where stability is limited. The 0.8 mm corner radius increases edge strength for interrupted cuts and roughing passes without sacrificing finish capability in finishing cuts. A cylindrical hole with a one‑sided countersink (40°–60°) provides dependable seating and repeatable clamping; the plate thickness of 4.76 mm contributes to rigidity and vibration resistance during heavier cuts.

System composition and recommended selection approach

The product functions as part of an assembly comprising the ISO insert, a compatible external holder or boring bar, a shim/clamping set and replacement screws. For different workpiece materials and machining strategies, pairing the AL chipbreaker and KS05F grade with the appropriate holder geometry and machine stability is advisable. Selection should consider workpiece material, tool overhang and cutting parameters to achieve the best trade‑off between tool life and productivity.

FAQ

What does the KS05F designation signify?
KS05F denotes a Tungaloy carbide grade developed for turning that balances wear resistance, edge stability and toughness to provide reliable performance across typical turning tasks.

Which turning operations suit this insert?
The CCGT120408 KS05F insert is intended for both external and internal turning; its geometry and AL chipbreaker support a range of finishing and light to medium roughing operations depending on setup stability.

How is the insert secured in the holder?
The insert features a cylindrical hole with a one‑sided countersink (40°–60°) to enable secure, repeatable clamping in compatible holders and boring bars.

What are the key dimensions to check for holder compatibility?
Check the ISO designation (120408), plate size (12 mm), plate thickness (4.76 mm), corner radius (0.8 mm) and clearance angle (7°) to ensure proper fit and seating with the chosen toolholder.

Can the CCGT120408 KS05F handle interrupted cuts?
The 0.8 mm corner radius improves edge strength, making the insert suitable for operations that include occasional interruptions, while the KS05F grade supports edge stability during variable cutting conditions.
