SNGA120404 LX10 indexable insert for turning — Tungaloy

The SNGA120404 LX10 is an ISO‑standard indexable insert designed for external and internal turning, offering a square form with a 0.4 mm corner radius and a cylindrical central hole for secure clamping.

• ISO SNGA 120404 geometry
• LX10 Tungaloy carbide grade
• 0.4 mm corner radius for strength
• 0° relief for predictable cutting

Predictable geometry for consistent turning performance

The ISO SNGA120404 geometry ensures repeatable seating and orientation in compatible holders. The square plate form with a cylindrical central hole and standard hole spacing creates a reliable clamping interface, reducing vibration and positional variation during machining. Compatibility to a holder depends on form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, plate size and thickness; matching these parameters avoids unexpected runout and helps to maintain dimensional consistency in serial production. Because the insert is supplied without a chipbreaker, selection of an appropriate chip control strategy for the workpiece and operation is essential to secure continuous chip evacuation.

Durable LX10 grade extends tool life under mixed conditions

The LX10 grade developed by Tungaloy balances wear resistance, toughness and edge stability, delivering extended service life in a wide range of steels and alloyed materials. This composition helps to maintain a sharp cutting edge for longer periods, reducing change‑over frequency and increasing productivity. For operations that demand both surface integrity and economical tool consumption, the combination of the carbide substrate and the LX10 specification translates into lower tooling costs per part and fewer interruptions for tool changes.

System compatibility and straightforward assembly for shop floors

The insert integrates into a standard system build: ISO indexable insert, matching external holder or boring bar, appropriate shim and clamping screws. Key dimensions include a plate size of 12 mm, a thickness of 4.76 mm, an included angle of 90° and a 0.4 mm corner radius, which together determine the achievable corner strength and form tolerance on finished components. The tool is manufactured from carbide, providing the rigidity needed for stable turning; installers should verify holder form and tolerance to guarantee correct seating. Where required, choose a chipbreaker geometry or cutting parameters that suit the material and machining conditions to improve chip control and cycle reliability.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The LX10 grade and carbide substrate make the SNGA120404 LX10 suitable for a broad range of steels and alloyed materials, offering a compromise of wear resistance and toughness for general turning tasks.

How does the absence of a chipbreaker affect machining?
An insert without a chipbreaker, such as this SNGA120404 LX10, requires selection of an appropriate chip control method—either a holder with chip control geometry or adjusted cutting parameters—to ensure safe chip evacuation.

Which holders are compatible with this ISO geometry?
Compatibility is achieved with SNGA‑style external holders or matching boring bars that accept ISO 120404 inserts; correct seating depends on form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness.

Can the insert be used for finishing and roughing?
The LX10 grade provides a balance of edge stability and wear resistance that supports both medium finishing and semi‑roughing operations; process parameters should be adapted to the workpiece and machine rigidity.

Is this insert indexable and reversible?
Yes, the square form and ISO designation allow multiple indexing positions, providing several usable cutting edges per insert to improve economy during production.
