CNGN 120408 LX10 Carbide Indexable Turning Insert — Tungaloy

The CNGN120408 LX10 is an ISO-standard rhombic indexable insert designed for external and internal turning in general turning applications.

• ISO-standard CNGN geometry for universal holders
• LX10 Tungaloy grade for wear resistance
• Carbide substrate for durable cutting edges
• 80° rhombic shape with 0° clearance angle

Consistent cutting performance through grade and substrate

The combination of a carbide substrate with the LX10 Tungaloy grade provides a balance of wear resistance and edge stability that supports longer tool life in repetitive turning tasks. The grade is designed to resist abrasive wear while retaining sufficient toughness to avoid premature chipping under variable cutting conditions. For shop environments where repeatability and reduced regrinding are priorities, this translates into fewer tool changes and improved machine uptime. The insert’s robustness is particularly beneficial when machining operations require sustained metal removal rates or intermittent cuts.

Reliable fit and secure clamping for flexible tool set-ups

Designed to the ISO-standard CNGN geometry, the insert ensures compatibility with a wide range of external holders and boring bars when form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening and thickness are matched. The 80° included angle and rhombic profile allow both profiling and light shoulder work, while the 0° clearance angle simplifies orientation in many standard holders. Correct matching of holder seat and clamping components is essential: because compatibility depends on multiple dimensional and tolerance criteria, the standardised geometry reduces set-up time and helps maintain consistent cutting positions across different machines.

Practical advantages for turning operations and selection guidance

For turning tasks, the absence of a dedicated chipbreaker means the insert is intended for applications where the chip formation strategy is determined by the selected grade and process parameters; choose a matching chip control solution and cutting data according to workpiece material and stability. The insert’s 4.76 mm thickness and 12 mm size combined with a 0.8 mm corner radius give a compromise between edge strength and accessibility for finishing passes. As an ISO-series indexable plate from Tungaloy, it supports productive machining when paired with appropriate holders and process settings, offering predictable results and straightforward integration into existing tooling systems.

FAQ

What is the primary application for this insert?
The CNGN120408 LX10 Tungaloy indexable insert is intended for external and internal turning operations and suits a range of general turning tasks when paired with a compatible holder.

How does the LX10 grade influence tool life?
The LX10 grade used in the Tungaloy insert provides a combination of wear resistance and toughness that improves edge stability and extends service intervals compared with unoptimised grades.

Which dimensions and geometry should be checked for holder compatibility?
Check the CNGN geometry designation, plate size (12 mm), thickness (4.76 mm), corner radius (0.8 mm), clearance angle (0°) and fastening configuration to ensure correct fit and clamping.

Is a chipbreaker integrated in this insert?
The CNGN120408 LX10 insert is supplied without a chipbreaker; chip control should be achieved via process parameter selection or an alternative chip control solution suited to the machining task.
