SNGN120404 LX10 — Indexable Turning Insert for Turning (Tungaloy)

SNGN120404 LX10 is an ISO-designated square insert engineered for general turning tasks, offering a balanced grade and geometry for stable chip formation and repeatable production results.

• ISO-standard SNGN geometry LX10 grade
• 90° cutting edge for versatile turning
• 0° clearance angle for reliable engagement
• Carbide grade optimised for wear resistance

Consistent cutting performance for external and internal turning

The square SNGN120404 insert provides a proven foundation for repeatable machining. Its 90° cutting edge and 0° clearance deliver a stable engagement when used for both external and internal turning, reducing vibration and enabling consistent surface finish. The insert’s carbide composition ensures a predictable wear pattern; combined with the LX10 grade, this supports process stability across medium- to high-volume production. In practical terms, the geometry allows secure seating in ISO holders and straightforward indexability, which shortens downtime for insert changes and maintains cycle-time consistency.

LX10 grade: balanced wear resistance and edge stability

The LX10 grade is tailored to offer a compromise between wear resistance and toughness, which helps preserve the cutting edge under variable cutting conditions. This balance reduces the need for frequent index changes while maintaining dimensional accuracy across batches. For operations where flank wear and edge chipping are primary concerns, the grade’s formulation enhances tool life without sacrificing surface integrity. The result is improved uptime and a more economical tool life curve in serial turning tasks.

Fast integration into existing ISO tool systems

Compatibility is governed by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, clamping and dimensional fit; the SNGN geometry aligns with ISO holders and conventional clamping kits. The insert’s compact dimensions — 12 mm size, 4.76 mm thickness and 0.4 mm corner radius — enable straightforward retrofitting into existing toolstations and facilitate fast changeovers. With no central hole and a square plate format, mounting uses standard clamping sets and screws. The system-level design (ISO insert, external holder or boring bar, backing pad/clamp set and replacement screws) supports a quick return to cutting after service or reconfiguration.

FAQ

Which turning tasks suit this insert best?
The SNGN120404 LX10 insert is intended for general external and internal turning operations where a robust 90° cutting edge and a balanced carbide grade deliver repeatable results.

Is this insert compatible with standard ISO holders?
Compatibility depends on insert form, clearance, tolerance class, clamping and thickness; the SNGN geometry is ISO-standard and designed to seat in matching ISO external holders and boring bars.

Does the insert have a central hole for screw fixing?
No, this insert is supplied without a central hole and is secured using conventional clamp and pad arrangements for square plates.

What are the dimensional characteristics that affect tool selection?
Key dimensions are the 12 mm plate size, 4.76 mm thickness and 0.4 mm corner radius; these determine seat fit, cutting reach and edge strength in the toolholder.

How does the LX10 grade influence tool life?
The LX10 grade balances wear resistance and toughness, which helps maintain edge integrity under varying cutting conditions and can reduce total index changes in serial production.
