A new assortment of Pramet LNEX 12 negative tangential inserts, with four cutting edges, provides a highly productive solution for a wide range of applications.  

Our LNEX 12 is a robust insert designed for shoulder milling with a maximum depth of cut up to 10 mm. It features a positive rake angle to provide a smooth cutting action. 

Peripherally ground to create a true 90° corner, the insert offers improved wall accuracy and straightness, while also featuring a patented U-groove segment on all four cutting edges. This provides a good surface finish and expands its application range to low-power machines and small depths of cut. 

In addition, the two-sided structure supports performance by making ramping possible.   

The insert comes in two different geometries, F for machining low carbon steels in light and medium applications. While M is suited for medium to semi-roughing in steels and cast irons.  

Alongside the new insert is a line of perfectly matched cutters. The SLNX12X series is available in Cylindrical, Weldon and Shell styles, with all featuring internal coolant systems for extended tool life.  

Its improved body strength and thick core offers enhanced rigidity, giving a reliable cutting process with low vibrations and long tool life for both the insert and cutter. Easily accessible large clamping screws provide simple indexing and handling.  

The combination of the LNEX 12 inserts and the SLNX12X cutters give operators a smooth cut with a clean finish, reducing the need for additional operations, such as deburring.
