SNGN 120408 LX10 SNGN insert for turning — multidirectional system, 0.8 mm radius | Tungaloy

SNGN120408-DIA LX10 is a square carbide indexable insert designed for multidirectional turning, offering a balance of wear resistance, edge stability and reliable chip control.

• LX10 grade for wear resistance and edge stability
• Square 12 mm size for secure clamping
• 0.8 mm corner radius for fine profiling
• Chipbreaker DIA for controlled chip formation

Consistent productivity through balanced grade and geometry

The combination of the LX10 cutting grade and the insert’s geometry delivers a measured balance between wear resistance and toughness, which reduces unscheduled tool changes and supports continuous production. Designed for the AddMultiTurn series, the insert’s specification helps maintain stable cutting forces in multidirectional turning applications. The carbide substrate paired with the DIA chipbreaker reduces edge chipping and promotes controlled swarf breakage, contributing directly to improved process reliability and fewer rejects.

Versatile application for longitudinal, facing and profile turning

Engineered for common turning operations, the insert suits longitudinal, facing and profile turning. The square 12 mm form factor and a thickness of 4.76 mm ensure mechanical stability in clamping, while the 0° clearance and 90° geometry support a predictable cutting direction. When combined with an appropriate holder and correct feed direction, the system enables efficient material removal and consistent surface finish, simplifying process planning for production and job-shop environments.

Precision features that reduce setup complexity

A corner radius of 0.8 mm provides a useful compromise between edge strength and surface definition, permitting medium-detail profiling without sacrificing tool life. The insert is supplied without a hole, optimising contact area for certain clamping systems used in multidirectional turning setups. Its configuration reduces the need for frequent adjustments and helps to shorten setup times, especially when matching inserts across a tool family within the AddMultiTurn system.

Practical guidance for tool selection and use

Select the insert when consistent edge stability and economical machining are priorities. Note that feed direction and holder style influence performance; verify holder compatibility with the AddMultiTurn system to achieve the stated benefits. The insert’s DIA chipbreaker is intended to deliver controlled chips under typical turning feeds, lowering the risk of entanglement and supporting safer, cleaner production. For matched performance, pair the insert with clamping systems specified for square indexable geometry.

FAQ

What turning operations is this insert suitable for?
The SNGN120408-DIA LX10 insert from Tungaloy is designed for longitudinal turning, facing and profile turning within a multidirectional turning system.

How does the LX10 grade affect tool life and performance?
The LX10 grade offers a balance of wear resistance and toughness, which helps to extend tool life while maintaining edge stability during interrupted or continuous cuts.

What chip control can be expected with the DIA chipbreaker?
The DIA chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation under recommended feed conditions, reducing the risk of long swarf and improving workplace safety.

Are there special requirements for clamping or holders?
Performance depends on correct holder selection; the insert is optimised for the AddMultiTurn system, so matching holders and verifying feed direction are recommended for best results.

Is the insert supplied with a central hole?
No, this insert is supplied without a hole to maximise seating contact with certain clamping systems.
