TNGG 160402 SH725 indexable turning insert by Tungaloy — triangular 60° geometry for turning

TNGG160402 SH725 is an ISO‑standard triangular indexable insert designed for general turning applications, offering a tough, edge‑stable grade suited to smaller tools and variable engagement conditions.

• ISO triangular insert, 16 mm size
• Coated carbide grade SH725
• 60° cutting angle, 0° relief
• Double-sided with cylindrical hole

Consistent performance under varying engagement

The SH725 grade is a coated carbide formulation developed for edge stability and reliable performance where cutting conditions fluctuate. Its composition provides a balance between toughness and wear resistance, which helps to maintain a predictable tool life even with intermittent engagements. For production environments that switch between short and longer cuts, this grade reduces the frequency of breakages and unscheduled tool changes, supporting more consistent cycle times and lower scrap rates.

Geometry that simplifies setup and improves stability

A 60° triangular insert offers good versatility for external and internal turning and is compatible with a wide range of ISO toolholders when matched by form, clearance angle and clamping. The insert’s 0° relief and 0.2 mm corner radius contribute to controlled cutting edge contact and reduced vibration in light to moderate cuts. These geometry choices result in improved surface finish and fewer reworks, while the standardised shape accelerates fixture selection and changes on multi‑machine lines.

Cost-effective use and straightforward maintenance

The double‑sided design doubles the number of usable edges per insert, lowering unit tooling costs and simplifying inventory management. As an ISO indexable system, it integrates with standard holders, shims and clamping sets, allowing quick replacement and minimal downtime. The presence of a cylindrical hole supports precise location on the holder and secure fastening, ensuring repeatable positioning and reliable clamping force during high‑speed rotations.

Practical guidance for application and chip control

For turning operations, choose the chipbreaker and grade that match the workpiece material and the machining strategy; the present insert is optimised for variable engagement and frequent edge contact changes. The doppelseitig (double‑sided) chipforming design aids chip control in common turning tasks, while the ISO conformity ensures predictable fitting. When in doubt about holder compatibility—consider form, relief angle, tolerance class, fixation, size and thickness to ensure correct seating and safe operation.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The TNGG 160402 SH725 insert is specified for turning applications where a tough, edge‑stable coated carbide is required; chipbreaker selection should match the workpiece material and machining method.

How many usable edges does the insert provide?
Thanks to its double‑sided design, the insert offers multiple usable cutting edges, which effectively reduces cost per edge for the TNGG 160402 SH725.

Will this insert fit standard ISO holders?
Yes — the insert follows ISO indexable insert conventions; correct fitting of the TNGG 160402 SH725 depends on matching form, relief angle, tolerance class, fixation, size and thickness with the chosen holder.

What are the key geometry benefits for surface finish?
The 60° triangular geometry, 0.2 mm corner radius and 0° relief provide stable edge contact and reduced vibration in many turning tasks, supporting improved surface quality and dimensional consistency.

How should chip control be addressed with this grade?
Select a chipbreaker compatible with the intended feed and material; the TNGG 160402 SH725’s double‑sided chipforming geometry assists chip control in typical turning operations.
