TCGT 080201 SH725 indexable turning insert — Tungaloy, 60° triangular, 0.1 mm radius

The TCGT080201 SH725 is an ISO-compatible triangular indexable insert designed for external and internal turning, offering a robust cutting grade and precise geometry for consistent chip control.

• Triangular ISO insert, 60° geometry
• Coated cemented carbide, SH725 grade
• One-sided chipbreaker for versatile turning
• Cylindrical hole with single-sided countersink

Boosted productivity with a resilient cutting grade

The coated cemented carbide SH725 is formulated for stable cutting edges and reliable performance under varying engagement conditions, making it particularly effective in small-tool setups and interrupted cuts. This material combination reduces tool changes and supports longer tool life, which improves throughput and lowers machining costs per component. The result is measurable productivity gains and fewer unplanned stoppages.

Clear compatibility reduces setup time

Being part of the ISO-series means the insert fits standard triangular holders when the form, relief angle, tolerance class, fixation, size and thickness match. The declared 7° relief angle and standard size ensure predictable seating and clamping in compatible external holders or boring bars. When the insert geometry and holder match, set-up is faster, runout is reduced and process repeatability improves — an immediate advantage for batch production and mixed-series machining.

Precise geometry for consistent surface quality

The 60° cutting geometry combined with a 0.1 mm corner radius delivers a balance between strength and edge definition for turning operations. The single-sided chipbreaker supports controlled chip formation and evacuation, aiding surface finish and tool life. The cylindrical hole with single-sided countersink (40°–60°) provides secure fastening and stable seat orientation, which helps maintain a constant cutting position for repeatable results on external and internal contours.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The TCGT080201 SH725 indexable insert from Tungaloy is optimised for a wide range of turning tasks where the SH725 grade offers stable edge life; selection of the exact workpiece material should match the grade characteristics for best results.

How does the chipbreaker influence machining?
A single-sided chipbreaker on this triangular insert promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation during turning, which improves surface finish and reduces the risk of built-up edge on the cutting edge.

How is compatibility with holders ensured?
Compatibility is determined by matching the insert form, relief angle, tolerance class, fixation, size and thickness; the ISO designation simplifies selection for compatible triangular holders and boring bars.

Which cutting tasks benefit most from the 0.1 mm corner radius?
A 0.1 mm corner radius provides a compromise between edge robustness and detail fidelity, making it suitable for finishing passes and light to medium roughing where a fine profile or close tolerances are required.

How can the insert be identified on receipt?
The insert is supplied as TCGT080201 SH725 (Tungaloy) and is referenced under SKU 6737027-Tungaloy for clear identification during inventory and tool management.
