SNGN 120712 LX10 Tungaloy indexable insert for turning — 90° square, 1.2 mm radius

The SNGN120712-T1 LX10 indexable insert is a carbide cutting solution for multi-directional turning, optimised for longitudinal, facing and profile operations.

• LX10 grade for balanced wear and toughness
• 1.2 mm corner radius for profile control
• Square 90° geometry for robust side cutting
• Compatible with AddMultiTurn multi-directional system

Maximise uptime with a multi-directional turning strategy

The AddMultiTurn concept enables multi-directional machining with a single toolholder, reducing tool changes and machine downtime. As a result, cycle times are shortened and set-up routines are simplified. The insert’s design supports longitudinal, facing and profile turning sequences, which means one tooling strategy can cover several operations. This approach favours predictable tool life and improved process reliability, making the component suitable for production environments where consistent throughput and fewer tool interventions are priorities.

Stable cutting performance through balanced grade and chip control

The Tungaloy LX10 carbide grade pairs wear resistance with sufficient toughness to withstand variable cutting forces encountered in turning. The integrated chipbreaker T1 promotes controlled chip formation, reducing the risk of built-up edge and improving surface finish consistency. The 1.2 mm corner radius and 90° square geometry deliver a robust cutting edge that resists chipping under interrupted cuts, while the carbide substrate maintains stability at elevated feed rates. These features translate into a tangible reduction in scrap rates and rework.

Easy integration and repeatable results in production

Designed for a system build-up of holder, interchangeable inserts and a clamping mechanism, this insert fits into established toolholder families that support the AddMultiTurn series. The square plate with a 12 mm size and 7.94 mm thickness offers repeatable seating and simple inventory handling. A geometry with 0° free angle and no centre hole keeps mounting straightforward and predictable. The combination of standardised dimensions and a consistent cutting edge reduces set-up variability and supports reproducible part quality across batches.
