DCET 070200 SH725 Tungaloy turning insert — 7° clearance, 55° rhombic

The DCET070200 SH725 is an ISO-standard indexable turning insert for external and internal turning, engineered for small-tool applications and variable engagement conditions.

• Coated carbide grade SH725 for edge stability
• 7° clearance for secure cutting geometry
• Rhombic insert, 55° cutting angle
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

Reliable performance where small tools and changing engagements matter

The DCET070200 is built from a coated carbide grade SH725, a tough, edge-stable material designed to maintain cutting integrity under fluctuating engagement. This results in improved chip control and prolonged edge life, which in turn reduces downtime for insert changes. For shops running mixed batches or short runs, the grade’s resilience offers a measurable increase in tool life and process stability without complex adjustments.

Straightforward integration into ISO tool systems for consistent results

As an ISO-standard insert, compatibility with the correct holder is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. Selecting a matching external holder or a compatible boring bar ensures secure seating and repeatable positioning. The system approach — insert, appropriate holder, shim/clamping set and replacement screws — simplifies tool logistics and standardises setups across multiple machines.

Practical design features that speed up setup and reduce vibration

The rhombic geometry with a 55° cutting angle and single-sided chipbreaker offers a balance between strength and accessibility for finishing and medium cutting. The 7° clearance and 2.38 mm thickness provide a secure contact surface, while the cylindrical hole with one-sided countersink (40°–60°) allows precise clamping and reliable repeatability. These details cut setup time and stabilise the cutting process, improving surface finish with fewer rework cycles.

Focused suitability for turning operations and versatile system use

Intended for turning—external and internal—the insert performs especially well in applications where tool overhang, small toolholders or variable depths of cut challenge edge life. The insert’s single-sided chipbreaker should be chosen to match the workpiece material and machining strategy, allowing shops to tailor the SH725 grade to their needs. The product functions as part of a complete tooling system when used with a matched holder and clamping kit, offering a pragmatic solution for production and jobbing environments.

FAQ

Which turning operations suit this insert best?
The DCET070200 SH725 insert is intended for external and internal turning and excels where small tools or variable engagement require a tough, edge-stable solution.

How does the SH725 grade affect tool life?
The SH725 coated carbide provides enhanced edge stability and improved chip control, which typically leads to longer tool life and fewer unscheduled indexings compared with less resilient grades.

What determines compatibility with my holder?
Compatibility is defined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; using a holder matched to the DCET070200 geometry ensures repeatable clamping and accurate positioning.

Can the insert be used for finishing as well as medium cutting?
Yes — the rhombic 55° geometry with a single-sided chipbreaker provides a good compromise between robustness and accessibility, suitable for finishing and medium cutting tasks.

What components are required for a complete tooling setup?
A complete system comprises the indexable insert, a compatible external holder or boring bar, a shim/clamping set and replacement screws to ensure correct seating and secure clamping.
