HNGX09 Series Double‑Sided 12‑Edge Face Mill Inserts
Overview
The HNGX09 series is a negative‑geometry hexagonal insert with 12 cutting edges (6 per side), designed for economical face milling. The double‑sided design doubles the usable edges per insert, and the 12‑edge count drastically reduces the cost per edge – ideal for high‑volume production. These ground inserts deliver excellent dimensional accuracy and consistency.
Key Benefits
12 edges per insert – 6 edges on each side, maximising insert utilisation and minimising tooling cost.
Three chipbreaker geometries – Available in F (finishing), M (general‑purpose), and R (roughing) grades to cover a wide range of machining conditions.
High‑precision ground – Ground surfaces ensure tight tolerances, stable cutting, and improved surface finish.
Wiper effect – Edge geometry designed for good surface quality and reduced machining marks.
Low cutting forces – Optimised rake and clearance angles provide sharp, free‑cutting action.
Versatile material compatibility – Works well with steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and more.
