SNGA120408 LX10 ISO indexable turning insert — 90° square, 0.8 mm radius, Tungaloy

The SNGA120408 LX10 is an ISO-standard square indexable insert designed for precise external and internal turning where a balanced mix of wear resistance and edge stability is required.

• ISO square insert SNGA 120408, 90° geometry
• LX10 Tungaloy carbide grade for turning
• 0.8 mm corner radius for controlled cutting
• Cylindrical hole, 4.76 mm thickness for secure clamping

Geometry optimised for stable turning and reproducible results

The square 90° geometry of this indexable plate provides a stable cutting edge for a wide range of turning operations, especially where strong radial engagement is necessary. The 0.8 mm corner radius increases edge strength and reduces the risk of microchipping, while the square form permits multiple indexings for extended tool life. Compatibility with standard ISO holders is determined by insert form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness, making it straightforward to integrate the plate into existing turning systems.

LX10 grade and carbide construction for consistent performance

Manufactured in a carbide substrate and specified in the LX10 Tungaloy grade, the insert combines hardness and toughness to handle diverse workpiece materials with dependable wear resistance and edge stability. The grade selection complements the insert geometry by balancing abrasion resistance and fracture toughness, which is particularly beneficial when machining mixed batch materials or when process stability is a primary concern. The result is reduced tool change frequency and consistent surface quality across serial production.

Secure clamping and system compatibility reduce set-up variability

The insert features a cylindrical hole and a plate thickness of 4.76 mm, enabling secure clamping and correct seating in most ISO-compliant external holders and boring bars. Secure fixation minimises vibration and runout, contributing directly to improved surface finish and extended insert life. When specifying a tool system, ensure matching forholder form, clearance angle and tolerance class; complementary components include the appropriate shim, clamping set and replacement screws for a complete, robust system.

Application guidance: choosing chip control and typical uses

This indexable plate is intended for turning operations, both external and internal, where no dedicated chipbreaker is required. For materials that produce long or stringy chips, pairing the insert with an appropriate chip control geometry on the holder or selecting a dedicated chipbreaker version may be preferable. The LX10 grade suits many general turning tasks; for heavy interrupted cuts or highly abrasive materials, consider matching the grade to the workpiece characteristics to maintain process reliability and surface integrity.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The SNGA120408 LX10 insert, in the LX10 grade and carbide substrate, is designed for a broad range of turning tasks; material-specific performance depends on the workpiece and cutting data.

How does the 0.8 mm corner radius affect cutting?
A 0.8 mm corner radius increases edge robustness and helps to reduce chipping under moderate cutting forces, improving stability and surface finish when using the SNGA120408 LX10 plate.

Is the insert compatible with standard ISO holders?
Compatibility is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness; the SNGA120408 is an ISO-standard format intended for use with matching ISO holders and clamping systems.

Does this product include a chipbreaker?
This variant is supplied without a chipbreaker; chip control should be achieved via holder geometry or by selecting an insert version with an integrated breaker where required.

What components are recommended for a complete system?
A typical system includes the ISO insert, a compatible external holder or boring bar, an underlay or shim, a clamping set and replacement screws for secure fastening of the SNGA120408 LX10.
