DCET 070202 SH725 Tungaloy turning insert — rhombic ISO turning insert, 55°

The DCET070202 SH725 is an ISO-formatted rhombic turning insert designed for external and internal turning where edge stability and small-tool performance are required.

• ISO rhombic insert, size 07
• Coated carbide grade SH725
• Single-sided chipbreaker, hole with countersink
• 55° geometry, 0.2 mm corner radius

Consistent cutting performance through a tough, edge-stable grade

The insert’s SH725 grade is a coated carbide formulated for toughness and durable cutting edges, which makes it particularly suitable for turning operations subject to changing engagement conditions or limited tool overhang. By selecting a tough grade rather than a brittle high-hardness alloy, the insert lowers the risk of edge chipping during interrupted cuts and short engagements. This translates into fewer unplanned tool changes and a steadier surface finish over production runs, improving machine uptime and component consistency.

Precise geometry and ISO conformity for reliable fitting

Built to ISO standards, the geometry of the DCET insert — rhombic form with a 55° lead angle and 7° relief — ensures compatibility with a wide range of standard holders and boring bars. The exact thickness (2.38 mm), size 07, and cylindrical hole with a one-sided countersink (40°–60°) determine the mechanical fit and clamping behaviour; matching these parameters to the toolholder secures repeatable seating and stable cutting conditions. Clear adherence to these measurable values simplifies tool selection and reduces setup uncertainty in mixed-machine environments.

Targeted chip control and application advice for efficient processes

The single-sided chipbreaker and 0.2 mm corner radius are optimised for common turning tasks, balancing chip formation and edge strength. The insert is best deployed for external and internal turning where moderate to light cuts are typical or when small tool geometries are in use. For materials and specific machining parameters, pairing this insert with an appropriate holder and selecting cutting data that reflect the grade’s toughness will yield the best compromise between surface finish and tool life.

Practical system setup and workshop handling

The ISO insert is intended to be used as part of a system: insert, compatible external holder or boring bar, support shim/clamping set and replacement screws. Keeping spare clamping hardware and the correct screw types on hand reduces downtime during index changes. For complex assemblies or unusual workpiece materials, technical consultation is available; Metav Werkzeuge can advise on holder selection, clamping orientation and recommended cutting data to match the SH725 performance profile.

FAQ

What materials are suitable for this insert?
The DCET070202 SH725 insert is a coated carbide grade designed for general turning duties; its toughness makes it suitable for a broad range of workpiece materials where an edge-stable performance is desirable.

How does the 55° geometry affect cutting?
The 55° lead angle provides a balance between strength and cutting action, reducing radial forces compared with a 90° style and supporting smoother engagement on external and internal turning.

Can the insert be used in small-tool applications?
Yes, the SH725 grade and the compact size 07 geometry are especially recommended where small-tool holders or varying engagement depths are common.

Which holder features are required for correct seating?
Correct seating depends on matching the insert’s form, 7° relief, size and thickness to the holder profile; the cylindrical hole plus countersink ensures positive clamping when the correct screw and shim are used.

Is the chipbreaker suited for finishing passes?
The single-sided chipbreaker is tuned for reliable chip control across a range of feeds; pairing it with appropriate feeds and speeds will achieve good finishes while preserving edge life.
