It carries the ANSI designation SNG432 and ISO code SNG120408, featuring a square insert shape with a 0.5-inch inscribed circle, a 3\/16-inch thickness, and a 1\/32-inch corner radius. The K68 uncoated carbide grade delivers high wear resistance across a range of workpiece materials. With 8 available cutting edges and a flat-top chip breaker geometry, this insert offers extended tool life between index cycles. Licensed machinists and CNC operators working in job shops and production environments are the primary installers of this tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for turning, facing, and boring operations on non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium. Its neutral hand orientation allows use in both right- and left-hand toolholders that accept SNG-style inserts. The flat-top, negative-rake geometry supports stable cutting at moderate depths. Maximum depth of cut is 0.0492 inches (1.25 mm). The K68 grade is rated for high to moderate wear resistance and toughness across ISO material groups M, K, and N, making it a versatile choice for mixed-material production runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eANSI SNG432 \/ ISO SNG120408 square insert with 0.5-inch inscribed circle and 8 cutting edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eK68 uncoated solid carbide grade — high wear resistance for stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlat-top chip breaker with negative rake and honed cutting edge for stable, predictable cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeutral hand orientation fits both right- and left-hand SNG-compatible toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClamp-style insert holding method; negative side clearance with G tolerance code\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproved for turning, facing, and boring multi-use applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in SNG-style toolholders that accept a 0.5-inch inscribed circle square insert with clamp-style retention.

Use the appropriate torque wrench and clamp hardware specified by the toolholder manufacturer — do not overtighten the clamp screw. Inspect the insert seat and clamp for debris or damage before seating a new insert. Follow your facility's lockout\/tagout procedure before any tooling change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eANSI Insert Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: SNG432\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISO Insert Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: SNG120408\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Square (S)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: K68\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: C3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Uncoated (Bright)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInscribed Circle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1875 inches (3\/16 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0313 inches (1\/32 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0492 inches (1.25 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Cutting Edges\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelief Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0 degrees (Negative Rake)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSide Clearance\u003c\/strong\u003e: Negative\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTolerance Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClearance Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: N\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flat Top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Edge Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Honed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Holding Method\u003c\/strong\u003e: Clamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Non-Ferrous Metal, Stainless Steel, Cast Iron, Superalloys, Titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISO Material Codes\u003c\/strong\u003e: P, M, K, N, S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplications\u003c\/strong\u003e: Turning, Facing, Boring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: KENDEX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI, ISO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0271 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: KENNAMETAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1162581\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KENNAMETAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51731712639282,"sku":"1162581","price":179.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/362c8109196bbd969352ee727c94d3fd.jpg?v=1788734168","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/kennametal-1162581-sng432-k68-carbide-turning-insert","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
