DCGT 070201 SH725 Tungaloy — ISO rhombic turning insert for general turning

DCGT 070201 SH725 is an ISO‑form indexable insert developed for external and internal turning applications, offering a tough, edge‑stable grade for variable engagement and small‑tool use.

• Coated carbide grade SH725 for toughness
• Rhombic 07 form with 55° included angle
• 7° clearance angle for reliable chip control

Consistent cutting performance with tough coated carbide

The insert delivers consistent cutting performance through a coated carbide substrate formulated as SH725, a tough, edge‑stable grade intended for turning operations where changing engagement and smaller toolholders occur. The combination of the coating and carbide substrate reduces microchipping and supports longer intervals between index changes, helping to maintain stable cycles on production flights. This paragraph explains how a tougher grade benefits tool life and process stability rather than only listing material data.

Secure compatibility and mounting for repeatable clamping

Compatibility depends on the holder geometry, clearance, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness; the ISO geometry and the rhombic form simplify selection for standard external or internal holders. The insert is supplied in a format that requires a matching outer holder or boring bar together with a shim/locking kit and replacement screws for proper assembly. The centre hole with a cylindrical bore and one‑sided countersink (40°–60°) provides positive location and stable clamping, reducing movement under cut and supporting repeatable set‑up.

Application guidance and functional benefits in everyday machining

For turning, the 0.1 mm nose radius suits light profiling and finishing where accurate edge contact is essential and where small radii improve corner definition. The one‑sided chipbreaker requires selection matched to the workpiece and machining stability; choosing the correct chipbreaker and grade will improve chip control and surface finish. The insert is part of a system approach: an ISO indexable insert, a correctly matched holder and the appropriate clamping parts deliver the best outcome. Clear explanations are provided so less experienced users can understand why geometry, chipbreaker and grade matter for specific turning tasks.

FAQ

What turning tasks is this insert best suited for?
The DCGT 070201 SH725 Tungaloy indexable insert is intended for external and internal turning where a tough, edge‑stable grade and a small nose radius are required, especially in operations with variable engagement or smaller toolholders.

How does the SH725 grade affect tool life and performance?
SH725 combines a coated carbide substrate designed for toughness and stable cutting edges; this improves resistance to chipping and extends effective tool life for the DCGT 070201 insert in interrupted or unstable cuts.

Which holder features are required to use this insert correctly?
Compatibility is governed by holder form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness; using a matching ISO‑form outer holder or boring bar with the appropriate shim and screws ensures secure clamping of the insert.

What does the hole style provide in practical terms?
The cylindrical bore with a one‑sided countersink (40°–60°) provides positive location and improved clamping stability, which helps to reduce movement under load and maintain repeatable set‑ups.

Can the small 0.1 mm nose radius be used for finishing?
Yes. The 0.1 mm nose radius is suited to light profiling and finishing where fine corner definition and controlled contact reduce the risk of forming a blunt edge.
