CNGN 120716 LX10 — Indexable turning insert for Turning (Tungaloy)

CNGN120716-T1 LX10 Tungaloy indexable insert designed for general external and internal turning, offering a balanced mix of wear resistance, toughness and cutting-edge stability.

• ISO‑standard rhombic form
• 1.6 mm corner radius
• LX10 Tungaloy carbide grade
• 0° clearance angle for turning

Optimised compatibility and predictable process stability

The ISO-standard geometry delivers straightforward integration into suitable toolholders; compatibility depends on form, 0° clearance, tolerance class, fastening and plate dimensions. The rhombic profile with an approach angle of 80° provides a robust seating condition that contributes to consistent cutting forces and surface finish. For workshops requiring predictable performance, this insert’s mechanical layout reduces set-up variations and supports standardised tool inventories, which helps to shorten machine downtime and simplifies holder selection.

Grade selection that balances wear resistance and edge strength

The LX10 grade, a Tungaloy-engineered carbide, is formulated to add the necessary balance of wear resistance, toughness and edge stability to a given geometry. In practical terms, this means longer intervals between indexings and fewer edge failures when machining a broad range of steels and alloyed materials. The presence of a dedicated T1 chipbreaker further improves chip control under varying feeds and depths of cut, reducing rework and cleaning time while maintaining dimensional accuracy on turned components.

Practical mounting and handling advice for safer operation

Installation requires correct orientation and secure fastening in a compatible outside holder or boring bar, using the matching clamp plate and screw set. The insert has no centre hole and is specified as a top-clamped rhombic plate—this reduces the number of fasteners and simplifies changeover. The 1.6 mm corner radius suits general finishing to medium roughing passes; selecting the appropriate feed and depth of cut in line with the grade’s capabilities will extend life and preserve the cutting edge. For new setups, verify seat fit, torque on the clamping screw and machine rigidity to exploit the insert’s full potential.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The LX10 grade insert is designed as a versatile carbide solution; the CNGN120716-T1 LX10 Tungaloy insert performs well across a wide range of steels and commonly machined alloyed materials.

How does the T1 chipbreaker influence machining?
The T1 chipbreaker on this indexable insert helps control chip formation during turning, improving surface finish and reducing risk of built-up edge on the cutting edge.

Which holder type is required for this insert?
This rhombic, top‑clamped ISO insert requires a compatible ISO external holder or boring bar sized for a 12 mm plate and matching clamp and screw set; compatibility is guided by form and plate thickness.

What cutting geometry parameters should be observed?
Observe the 0° clearance angle, the 80° approach geometry and select feeds and depths of cut appropriate to the 1.6 mm corner radius to balance tool life and workpiece finish.
