SNGN 120708 LX10 — ISO turning insert by Tungaloy (square 12 mm, 0.8 mm radius)

A versatile ISO-standard indexable insert for turning, designed for reliable external and internal machining where stable cutting edge and repeatable performance are required

• ISO-standard turning insert
• LX10 Tungaloy carbide grade
• Square 12 mm insert, 0.8 mm radius
• 90° approach angle, 0° rake angle

Increase throughput with predictable wear performance

The combination of the LX10 cutting grade and cemented carbide substrate delivers a dependable compromise between wear resistance and edge toughness, supporting longer tool life under mixed cutting conditions. ISO standardisation of the geometry means the insert integrates easily into existing toolholders, reducing setup time and helping to maintain cycle times. Choosing a grade optimised for turning helps to limit unscheduled tool changes and keeps production flow steady.

Ensure correct mounting and application for consistent results

Compatibility with the chosen holder depends on the insert’s form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The square shape and the 0.8 mm corner radius make this insert suitable for general turning tasks and form features where a robust cutting edge is needed.

Typical operations and process benefits

Designed for both external and internal turning, this insert performs well in stable set-ups where repeatability matters. The 90° approach angle supports accurate shoulder and face machining, while the geometry of the insert allows straightforward indexability for fast seat changes. In practical terms, this means fewer interruptions for regrinding or replacement, improved surface finish consistency and easier inventory management through ISO-compatible inserts.

Geometry and what the numbers mean for machining

The designation SNGN120708 refers to a square-shaped insert with a nominal size of 12 mm, a thickness of 7.94 mm, a corner radius of 0.8 mm and a 0° rake angle; these parameters influence chip formation, radial engagement and cutting forces. A larger corner radius increases edge strength and can extend tool life in heavier cuts, while the zero-degree rake offers a neutral cutting action suitable for a wide range of steels and mixed-material batches. Selecting the correct chip control and matching the LX10 grade to the workpiece material will optimise both productivity and surface quality.

FAQ

What operations is this insert intended for? This insert is intended for turning operations, covering both external and internal turning where ISO-standard indexable geometry is required.

What does the LX10 grade provide? The LX10 grade is a Tungaloy carbide formulation that balances wear resistance and toughness to give stable cutting-edge performance in general turning tasks with variable cutting conditions.

How is holder compatibility determined? Holder compatibility is determined by form, clearance (relief) angle, tolerance class, fastening method, insert size and thickness; ensure the holder matches the insert’s ISO geometry.

Does this insert include a chipbreaker? This particular insert is supplied without a chipbreaker, which can be advantageous for certain turning strategies; chip control should be selected based on workpiece material and cutting parameters.

What does SNGN120708 indicate? The ISO designation indicates a square insert (S), negative geometry (N), with size and geometry details corresponding to the 120708 code used for correct holder selection and ordering.
