CNGN120404 LX10 Turning Insert for Turning — 0.4 mm radius, 80° | Tungaloy

A CNGN120404 LX10 ISO turning insert designed for reliable external and internal turning in general machining applications.

• ISO CNGN geometry for standard holders
• LX10 grade: balanced wear resistance
• 0.4 mm corner radius for fine finishing
• 0° clearance angle for positive cutting

Consistent cutting performance and holder compatibility

The rhombic ISO insert delivers a predictable cutting action through its standardised form and dimensions. The CNGN geometry and ISO designation ensure compatibility with matching external holders and boring bars, while the defined tolerances govern clamping and fit. With a 4.76 mm plate thickness and an included angle of 80°, the rhombic plate provides a stable cutting edge, reducing vibration and contributing to repeatable part quality. Selecting the correct chipbreaker and grade in line with workpiece stability and machining strategy helps to convert this physical stability into consistent cycle times and lower scrap rates.

What the LX10 grade and carbide construction contribute

The insert is made from carbide and specified in the LX10 Tungaloy grade, which balances wear resistance with sufficient toughness to resist edge chipping. This combination supports longer tool life under varied cutting conditions and helps maintain dimensional accuracy over extended runs. In practical terms, the grade reduces the frequency of index changes and re-grinding operations, improving uptime and lowering handling costs. The absence of an integrated chipbreaker means the geometry is best paired with a chip control solution chosen for the workpiece material and cutting parameters.

Practical benefits: edge radius, clearance and application fit

A 0.4 mm corner radius delivers a mix of surface finish and edge strength suitable for semi-finishing and finishing passes, while the 0° clearance angle produces a positive cutting geometry that reduces cutting forces in many turning setups. The rhombic plate form with no hole simplifies inventory management for standard clamping systems and broadens usability across external and internal turning tasks. For shops aiming for process reliability, this insert converts geometry and grade into measurable productivity: fewer tool changes, stable surface finishes and predictable wear behaviour.

FAQ

What is the primary use of this insert?
The CNGN120404 LX10 Tungaloy turning insert is intended for external and internal turning operations where ISO CNGN geometry and a 0.4 mm corner radius are suitable.

How does the LX10 grade affect tool life?
The LX10 grade provides a balanced combination of wear resistance and toughness for the carbide substrate, helping the insert maintain edge stability and achieve longer intervals between indexing.

Can this insert be used with any CNGN holder?
The insert is manufactured to ISO CNGN form and will fit holders that accept CNGN inserts; holder compatibility depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, clamping method and thickness.

Which cutting tasks suit the 0.4 mm radius and 80° included angle?
A 0.4 mm radius suits semi-finishing to finishing passes where a compromise between surface quality and edge strength is required; the 80° included angle supports standard turning geometries.

Is a chipbreaker included and how should chip control be handled?
This plate has no integrated chipbreaker; chip control should be achieved by selecting a compatible holder or a dedicated chip-control insert variant matched to the workpiece material and cutting conditions.
