DCGT070204 SH725 indexable turning insert — rhombic form, 7° clearance, Tungaloy

DCGT070204 SH725 is an ISO‑standard indexable insert designed for turning operations where small tools or variable engagement demand a tough, edge‑stable grade.

• ISO rhombic insert DCGT 07 size
• Coated carbide grade SH725
• 0.4 mm corner radius for profiling
• Cylindrical hole with countersink 40°–60°

Consistent cutting performance for production turning

The insert delivers stable cutting edges and predictable wear behaviour thanks to the SH725 coated cemented carbide matrix. Its rhombic form and 0.4 mm corner radius suit light profiling and finishing passes, while the single-sided chipbreaker supports efficient chip control during external and internal turning. The result is fewer unexpected interruptions in the production process and improved component repeatability through consistent edge geometry.

Designed for reliable clamp fit and repeatability

Compatibility with the toolholder is ensured by the ISO designation and the insert’s precise geometry. The DCGT070204 format, standardised thickness and the cylindrical hole with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°) enable secure mounting and simple replacement. This reduces setup time and minimises downtimes caused by incorrect seating. Where holder stability or tool overhang varies, the insert’s dimensions and tolerance class maintain a reproducible clamping interface.

Grade and coating advantages explained

The SH725 grade is a coated carbide designed for toughness and edge stability, making it well suited to turning when tool size or varying engagement conditions are present. Coating reduces built‑up edge and improves resistance to abrasion, while the substrate supports resistance to chipping. For users unfamiliar with metallurgical terms: a coated cemented carbide combines a hard, wear‑resistant coating with a tough carbide body so the insert tolerates intermittent loads and fluctuating cut depths more reliably than uncoated options.

Application guidance and practical benefits

For external and internal turning, selecting the correct chipbreaker and grade reduces rework and machining time. The single-sided chipbreaker on this insert assists with short, controllable chips and improves surface finish in semi‑finishing operations. Given the insert’s geometry and 7° clearance, it performs well in applications where moderate feed rates and light to medium cuts are needed, particularly when small‑shank tooling or variable engagement are factors.

FAQ

What holder types are compatible with this insert?
Compatibility depends on holder form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; the DCGT070204 format fits ISO‑compliant turning holders designed for DCGT inserts.

Which materials is the SH725 grade suited to machine?
The SH725 coated cemented carbide is intended for general turning where toughness and edge stability are required; it performs well across a broad range of steels and mixed cutting conditions.

How does the 0.4 mm corner radius affect the cut?
A 0.4 mm radius improves edge strength and surface finish for light profiling and reduces corner chipping risk compared with sharper radii.

What is the purpose of the cylindrical hole with countersink?
The hole with a single‑sided countersink (40°–60°) secures the insert reliably in the pocket and helps centre the insert, enabling fast and repeatable replacement.

Can this insert be used for finishing passes?
Yes; with its coated substrate and modest corner radius, the insert is suitable for finishing when feeds and depths are chosen appropriately to match the toolholder rigidity.
