TCGT 080200 SH725 Tungaloy turning insert — 60° triangle, 7° clearance

TCGT 080200 SH725 is an ISO-standardised indexable turning insert designed for general external and internal turning where stable cutting edges and predictable chip formation are required.

• 60° triangular insert for external and internal turning
• SH725 coated carbide for edge stability
• 7° clearance angle; cylindrical hole & countersink
• ISO TCGT080200 size 08, thickness 2.38 mm

Consistent edge stability for variable turning conditions

The SH725 grade is a coated carbide developed for edge stability under changing engagement conditions and on smaller tool assemblies. Its composition provides a balance between toughness and wear resistance, which reduces the risk of chipping when cuts vary or interruptions occur. Using an insert with this grade typically results in fewer unscheduled tool changes and a more consistent surface finish, contributing to a smoother production flow. The indexable insert format furthermore allows fast replacement, limiting machine downtime and keeping process costs predictable.

ISO compatibility and secure clamping reduce set-up time

Being an ISO-standardised insert, the TCGT080200 geometry ensures straightforward matching with ISO holders when the form, relief angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness are aligned. The 60° triangle form gives three usable cutting edges per insert, while the 2.38 mm thickness and 7° clearance angle provide a stable mounting envelope for a wide range of turning operations. The central cylindrical hole with a single-sided 40°–60° countersink secures repeatable seating and prevents rotation under load, which supports dependable cutting performance and reduces assembly errors during tool changeovers.

Predictable chip control and recommended uses

A single-sided chipbreaker on this insert is optimised for controlled chip flow in many turning scenarios; selecting the correct chipbreaker geometry and the SH725 grade tailored to the workpiece and process stability is essential. Typical applications include external and internal turning where moderate to variable cutting conditions occur. The coated substrate supports reduced built-up edge and improves tool life in interrupted cuts. For best results, pair the insert with a suitable external holder or boring bar that matches the insert seat and clamping specifications to maintain the designed cutting angles and ensure consistent productivity.

FAQ

What turning tasks is this insert best suited for?
The TCGT 080200 SH725 insert is intended for general external and internal turning where edge stability and controlled chip formation are required, particularly in operations with variable engagement.

How does the SH725 grade affect tool life?
The SH725 coated carbide delivers a combination of toughness and wear resistance that improves edge stability and reduces chipping, supporting longer effective tool life under fluctuating cutting conditions.

Which holder features are essential for correct use?
Compatibility depends on holder form, relief angle, tolerance class, clamping and size/thickness—matching these parameters to the TCGT080200 specification ensures secure seating and reproducible performance.

Can the insert be used for interrupted cuts?
Yes; the coated carbide substrate and edge-stable SH725 formulation make this insert suitable for interrupted cuts, especially when mounted in a properly rated holder.

How is chip control achieved with this geometry?
Chip control is provided by the one-sided chipbreaker pattern combined with the insert’s cutting geometry; choosing the correct chipbreaker style and the SH725 grade helps maintain stable chip flow.
