TNGA 160408 LX10 Tungaloy indexable insert — Turning

TNGA160408 LX10 Tungaloy indexable insert designed for multidirectional turning in the AddMultiTurn system, suitable for longitudinal, facing and profiling operations

• Triangular insert, 16 mm size, 60° included angle
• LX10 Tungaloy grade for wear resistance and toughness
• Multi-directional AddMultiTurn system compatibility
• Cylindrical-hole design for secure clamping

Consistent productivity through a balanced grade and system

The AddMultiTurn-compatible insert is engineered for a balance of wear resistance and toughness. The LX10 Tungaloy grade, applied to a carbide substrate, improves edge stability under mixed cutting conditions and helps maintain consistent cutting forces over extended tool life. Compatibility with a multidirectional turning system reduces tool changes and optimises cycle times, delivering measurable improvements in process efficiency and lower cumulative downtime.

Stable cutting geometry that improves surface quality

A triangular plate form with a 60° included angle and a 0.8 mm corner radius provides a robust cutting edge for general turning and profiling. The 0.8 mm corner radius distributes cutting loads, reducing the risk of edge chipping when engaging interrupted cuts and helping to produce a more consistent surface finish. The central cylindrical hole enables secure clamping in the holder, limiting vibration and ensuring repeatable positioning for serial production.

Faster set-up and versatile application range

With a plate size of 16 mm and a plate thickness of 4.76 mm, the insert suits many standard holders within the AddMultiTurn family and similar systems, enabling quick changeover and simplified tooling logistics. The absence of a chipbreaker makes the geometry versatile for different feed rates and material types commonly encountered in turning tasks, while the triangular form allows for multiple indexing positions, extending usable life and reducing tooling costs per finished component.

Predictable performance and reduced process risk

The carbide substrate combined with the LX10 formulation aims to deliver predictable wear patterns and steady cutting performance across longitudinal, facing and profiling operations. The design supports stable chip formation and repeatable edge life, which contributes to fewer unplanned interventions at the machine. For manufacturers prioritising throughput and reproducibility, this insert helps maintain part tolerances and reduces scrap rates, supporting higher overall equipment effectiveness.
