SPGN 120304 LX10 – Tungaloy turning insert (SPGN120304-DIA, square, 12 mm)

A SPGN120304-DIA LX10 indexable turning insert engineered for external and internal turning, offering a robust balance of wear resistance and edge stability for consistent production results.

• Square insert, 12 mm size, 11° relief
• LX10 Tungaloy grade for wear and toughness
• DIA chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• Compatible with ISO turning toolholders

Predictable fit and dependable machining results

The insert is built to ISO conventions, so compatibility with a suitable toolholder is defined by form, relief angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness. This standardisation enables predictable tool set-up and repeatable results in serial turning operations. The square plate geometry with a 90° included angle and a 0.4 mm corner radius gives a stable cutting edge and is particularly useful where robust engagement and simple orientation are priorities. For workshops that value process stability, the standardised format reduces set-up time and minimises surprises during tool changes.

Longer tool life and stable cutting with the LX10 grade

The Tungaloy LX10 grade combines wear resistance and toughness to complement the insert geometry; the result is improved resistance to flank wear while maintaining a durable cutting edge under varied cutting conditions. The DIA chipbreaker promotes predictable chip formation and evacuation, lowering the risk of re-cutting and improving surface finish consistency. In practical terms, the grade and chipbreaker pairing means fewer indexings and less frequent insert replacement, translating into lower tooling costs per component and reduced downtime in production.

Practical application guidance for effective turning

Intended for turning operations, the insert is suitable for both external and internal machining when matched to the correct holder and cutting parameters. Key dimensions such as 12 mm seat size, 3.18 mm plate thickness and 11° relief inform feed and depth-of-cut choices; a 0.4 mm corner radius is effective for general-purpose finishing and semi-finishing where a balance between strength and detail is required. The insert is manufactured from cemented carbide, delivering the hardness needed for durable performance across a broad range of workpiece materials. For optimal results, select a chipbreaker and grade that match the material, machining strategy and component stability — this reduces built-up edge and secures consistent surface quality.

FAQ

What materials can this insert machine effectively? The SPGN120304-DIA LX10 Tungaloy insert is designed for a broad range of turning tasks; the LX10 grade offers a compromise of wear resistance and toughness suitable for many steels and general workshop materials when paired with the correct chipbreaker and parameters.

How does the DIA chipbreaker affect chip control? The DIA chipbreaker on the Tungaloy SPGN120304-DIA promotes short, controllable chips in typical turning conditions, reducing the risk of tangled swarf and improving surface finish consistency.

Which toolholders are compatible with this insert? Compatibility is determined by the insert form and dimensions; the square SPGN form and 12 mm size fit ISO-compatible external holders and boring bars engineered for SPGN inserts when matching thickness and clamping style are used.

What are the key setup dimensions to check before machining? Confirm 12 mm seat size, 3.18 mm plate thickness, 11° relief and 0.4 mm corner radius during setup; these values govern clearances, feed recommendations and engagement strength for safe, repeatable machining.
