DCGT 070202 SH725 indexable turning insert by Tungaloy — ISO rhombic insert, 7° clearance, 0.2 mm nose radius

DCGT 070202 SH725 is an ISO-form insert designed for external and internal turning with robust edge stability and consistent chip control.

• Coated carbide SH725 for tough edges
• ISO-standard rhombic insert, size 07
• 7° clearance with 55° approach angle
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

Optimised grade and edge stability for predictable machining

The SH725 coated carbide grade delivers a balance of toughness and wear resistance that maintains edge stability during interrupted cuts and variable engagements. This makes the insert particularly suited to operations where tool engagement changes or where smaller toolholders must be used. Thanks to the coating and substrate combination, the insert offers improved resistance to chipping while supporting stable chip formation, which reduces the frequency of tool changes and contributes to uninterrupted production.

ISO geometry and measured parameters for simple integration

Designed to ISO dimensions, the rhombic DCGT form ensures compatibility with a wide range of ISO holders. Key measured characteristics — 0.2 mm corner radius, 7° clearance, 55° approach angle and a plate thickness of 2.38 mm — define the cutting geometry and influence surface finish and tool life. The standardised shape and tolerance classes allow easy replacement and predictable set-up: match holder form, clearance angle, fastening style and plate size to achieve correct clamping and repeatable positioning.

Application guidance: where this insert excels

The insert is intended for general turning tasks — both external and internal — where a single-sided chipbreaker and a robust grade are beneficial. The single-sided chipbreaker promotes controlled chip evacuation for many common materials; select chipbreaker geometry and grade according to workpiece material and machining stability. The system approach (ISO insert, compatible external holder or boring bar, shim and clamping set plus replacement screws) simplifies tool management and reduces setup times on the shop floor.

Small-tool performance and variable-engagement reliability

For operations with smaller tools or fluctuating cut depths, the combination of a tough carbide substrate and the SH725 coating helps maintain edge integrity under adverse cutting conditions. The cylindrical mounting hole with a one-sided countersink (40°–60°) supports secure clamping and consistent seating, which is essential when repeatability and vibration resistance are priorities. This geometry supports a predictable contact area that aids in extending usable tool life and improving process stability.

FAQ

What holder types accept this insert?
The insert follows ISO dimensions for rhombic turning inserts; it is compatible with ISO external holders and boring bars specified for DCGT 070202 profiles when the holder matches form, clearance and fastening style.

Which materials is the SH725 grade suitable for?
The SH725 coated grade is formulated for a broad range of turning tasks where toughness and edge stability are required; choose chipbreaker and grade based on the specific workpiece material and machining conditions.

How does the 0.2 mm corner radius affect the finish?
A 0.2 mm corner radius balances strength and surface quality: it improves edge robustness compared with a sharp edge while still allowing acceptable surface finish for many turning operations.

Is the mounting hole compatible with standard clamping screws?
Yes. The insert has a cylindrical hole with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°) designed for secure seating and standard clamping hardware used with ISO-type inserts.

What advantage does the single-sided chipbreaker provide?
A single-sided chipbreaker offers controlled chip formation in many turning applications, simplifying chip evacuation and helping to maintain process stability when paired with the appropriate grade and cutting data.
