DCGT070204 SH725 ISO turning indexable insert — Tungaloy — coated carbide, 7° clearance

DCGT070204 SH725 is an ISO-standard indexable insert designed for external and internal turning, offering a compact rhombic form and a grade optimised for variable cutting conditions

• ISO rhombic insert, size 07
• SH725 coated carbide grade
• Single-sided chipbreaker for turning
• 7° clearance and 0.4 mm corner radius

Consistent edge performance for variable turning conditions

The rhombic ISO-standard geometry delivers a predictable contact area and stable tool life when machining a range of steels and general turning tasks. The SH725 coated carbide grade is formulated to provide improved edge toughness and wear resistance, which reduces the need for frequent index changes and supports continuous production. With a 0.4 mm corner radius and a moderate included angle, the insert balances strength at the cutting edge with the capability to produce the required surface finish, making it suitable for jobs where entry conditions and chip loads vary. The built-in single-sided chipbreaker guides the chip formation to reduce vibration and maintain process stability.

Better chip control and surface integrity through tailored geometry

A dedicated chip control form on the insert ensures chips are guided away from the cut, lowering the risk of re-cutting and tool edge damage. The combination of coated carbide and the tailored chipbreaker gives a measurable benefit: improved surface integrity and fewer interruptions for chip clearing. The 7° clearance angle helps to reduce rubbing on the flank face, decreasing heat build-up and extending service intervals. For operations where dimensional accuracy and repeatability matter, this geometry reduces scatter in component tolerances and supports a more reliable machining process.

System compatibility and straightforward integration into tooling setups

The insert is supplied in an ISO indexable format that matches ISO holders and boring bars when form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness align. The plate includes a cylindrical hole with a one-sided countersink (40°–60°) to secure it reliably in most clamping systems, and the 2.38 mm plate thickness gives sufficient support for stable cutting, especially with smaller tools or intermittent engagements. As part of a system approach, the insert works with standard holders, clamping sets and replacement screws to simplify logistics and tool change routines on the shop floor.

Practical advantages and recommended use

Designed specifically for turning, the indexable plate is best applied where consistent edge stability and versatile performance are required, such as mixed-batch production or setups with variable engagement. The DCGT070204 geometry is particularly helpful when smaller inserts are preferred for access or when working with limited tool overhangs. The grade’s emphasis on toughness makes it appropriate for operations that may otherwise demand more frequent insert changes, supporting uptime and productivity improvements across shifts.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for? The DCGT070204 SH725 Tungaloy indexable insert is a coated carbide grade designed for general turning applications and performs well on a broad range of steels and common engineering materials.

How does the chipbreaker affect machining? The single-sided chipbreaker on this insert supports controlled chip formation in turning, reducing the risk of entanglement and improving process stability for the DCGT070204 SH725 insert.

Which holders are compatible with this ISO insert? Compatibility depends on matching form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness; the insert is ISO-standard and fits holders and boring bars that conform to those parameters.

What is the purpose of the countersunk hole design? The cylindrical hole with a one-sided countersink (40°–60°) ensures secure clamping in standard indexable insert holders and helps maintain repeatable seating and torque settings.

Is the corner radius suitable for finishing operations? The 0.4 mm corner radius offers a compromise between edge strength and surface finish; it can deliver good finish while providing robustness for variable engagement conditions.
