TNGG160404 SH725 ISO triangular indexable insert (60°) — Turning, Tungaloy

A TNGG160404 SH725 indexable insert designed for external and internal turning, compatible with ISO toolholders and optimised for variable engagement conditions.

• ISO triangular insert TNGG, 60° geometry
• Coated carbide grade SH725 for tough conditions
• 0.4 mm corner radius for versatile finishing
• Dual-sided chipbreaker with cylindrical hole

Consistent edge life for continuous machining

The SH725 grade is a coated carbide formulation developed to maintain a resilient cutting edge under fluctuating cutting forces. This indexable solution reduces downtime through prolonged edge life, which leads to more predictable tool-change intervals and fewer interrupted production runs. The coating improves wear resistance and heat management, so the insert remains dimensionally stable during extended cycles, supporting reliable component tolerances.

Geometry that simplifies set-up and process choice

The 60° geometry of the triangular insert provides favourable cutting directions for both facing and profiling, while the 0.4 mm corner radius allows a balance between strength and surface finish. The three-sided shape gives multiple index positions and, together with the dual-sided chipbreaker, enables straightforward switching between roughing and finishing tasks. These design choices translate into fewer tool variants needed on the shop floor and reduced set-up complexity for mixed-production environments.

Secure mounting and straightforward tool compatibility

Compatibility with the clamping system is determined by form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The insert features a cylindrical hole for positive location and stable clamping on standard ISO holders. The nominal plate thickness and format match ISO indexing systems, which permits rapid retrofitting into existing toolholders without bespoke adaptors. Clear specification of geometric and tolerance data ensures reproducible seating and concentricity in serial production.

Suited to small tools and changing engagement conditions

This grade and chipbreaker combination is particularly useful for smaller tool assemblies or operations with variable engagement, where intermittent cuts and changing chip loads occur. The double-sided chipbreaker helps control chips in interrupted cutting and mixed-material batches, while the coated substrate supports steady wear behaviour across different turning tasks. Select the appropriate chipbreaker and holder rigidity to align the insert’s strengths with the workpiece material and machine stability.

FAQ

What operations is this insert intended for?
This TNGG160404 SH725 insert is designed primarily for external and internal turning applications where a resilient cutting edge and flexible geometry are required.

Which workpiece conditions suit the SH725 grade?
The SH725 grade performs well under variable engagement and in smaller-tool applications; it is formulated to provide stable wear characteristics and reliable edge life during mixed or interrupted cutting.

How is the insert fixed in the holder?
The insert locates and clamps via a cylindrical hole and is secured by a clamp and screw; compatibility depends on form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness.

How many indexable edges are available on this triangular, double-sided insert?
The triangular, double-sided design provides up to six indexable cutting edges, enabling multiple re-uses before disposal.

Can the same insert be used for roughing and finishing?
Yes — by selecting the appropriate chipbreaker and matching holder rigidity, the insert’s geometry and grade allow transitions between roughing and finishing with minimal tool changes.
