TCGT 080201 SH725 Tungaloy indexable insert for turning (triangular, 60°)

The TCGT080201 SH725 Tungaloy indexable insert is an ISO-standard triangular turning insert designed for external and internal turning, offering a robust cutting edge for variable engagement conditions.

• SH725 coated carbide grade for tough cutting
• 60° triangular geometry for stable cutting
• 0.1 mm corner radius for fine turning
• Cylindrical hole with one-sided countersink

High process reliability for mixed turning tasks

The SH725 grade is a coated carbide formulation developed to deliver a stable cutting edge and predictable wear behaviour in demanding turning applications. As a coated indexable insert, it offers a balance between toughness and wear resistance that is particularly beneficial for small tools or operations with fluctuating engagement. This combination reduces the risk of chipping under variable loads and preserves cutting-edge integrity, which in turn supports consistent machining quality and longer in‑service life of tooling systems.

Precision geometry that improves surface finish and control

The triangular 60° geometry together with a 0.1 mm corner radius and a 2.38 mm plate thickness provides a controlled cutting point and even force distribution during machining. The modest corner radius is suitable for producing fine finishes while still allowing for light form work where sharper corners are required. The specified 7° relief angle reduces rubbing on the flank face and helps maintain a clean contact zone; this geometry combination translates directly into fewer rework passes and improved dimensional consistency on turned parts.

Secure clamping and optimised chip control

Designed with a cylindrical hole and a one‑sided countersink (40°–60°), the insert ensures reliable seating and straightforward clamping using standard screw systems. The one-sided chipbreaker is tailored to the grade and typical turning tasks, promoting consistent chip formation and evacuation, which is crucial when machining components that demand repeatable cycle times. Compatibility with a clamping system is determined by holder form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness — matching these parameters ensures safe clamping and optimal cutting dynamics.

Application-focused advice for extended tool life

Intended for general turning, the insert performs well in both external and internal operations when paired with a suitable holder and cutting parameters. The coating improves wear resistance and helps maintain edge stability across a range of materials and cutting conditions; selecting the appropriate chipbreaker and feed strategy will further enhance stable chip formation and surface quality. For production environments where process reliability and predictable tool changes matter, this insert offers a pragmatic balance of performance and economy.

FAQ

What materials can this insert machine effectively? The TCGT080201 SH725 Tungaloy indexable insert is a versatile coated carbide grade suited to a wide range of turning tasks; the SH725 coating enhances wear resistance and stable cutting on commonly machined steels and mixed-material applications.

How is the insert clamped in the holder? Clamping is achieved via the central cylindrical hole combined with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°), ensuring secure seating and repeatable positioning when used with matching screws and supports.

Which chipbreaker should be chosen for heavy cuts? For heavier or interrupted cuts, pair the insert with the matching robust chipbreaker style and a suitable grade selection; the single-sided chipbreaker on this insert is optimised for controlled chip flow under typical turning loads.

Is this insert suitable for internal turning? Yes, the triangular 60° geometry and compact radius make the insert appropriate for both external and internal turning when mounted in a compatible boring bar or internal holder.

How to ensure compatibility with an existing toolholder? Compatibility depends on holder form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; verify these parameters against the insert dimensions (60° triangle, 2.38 mm thickness, size 08) before mounting.
