DCET070200 SH725 Tungaloy indexable turning insert — rhombic insert with 7° relief for general turning

A DCET070200 SH725 Tungaloy indexable insert designed for external and internal turning where consistent edge life and reliable chip control are required

• Coated carbide grade SH725 for edge stability
• Rhombic shape, 55° included angle
• Single-sided chipbreaker for controlled chips
• With cylindrical hole and one-sided countersink

High-performance cutting and consistent edge life

The rhombic, 55° cutting-angle geometry combined with the SH725 coated carbide provides a reliable mix of toughness and wear resistance for routine and interrupted turning. The single-sided chipbreaker promotes predictable chip formation when machining a wide range of steels and alloys; this reduces recut risk and supports steady tool life. By prioritising material behaviour and edge integrity, the insert helps to maintain cycle times and reduces unexpected tool changes in batch and job-shop production.

Compatibility with ISO tool systems for easy integration

Designed as an ISO-standard indexable insert, the component fits holders and toolposts according to established ISO form, relief and tolerance criteria. The rhombic form and central hole geometry ensure secure seating in compatible external holders or boring bars, enabling quick index changes and repeatable positioning. This compatibility streamlines tool inventory and simplifies tool selection across turning centres that follow ISO insert standards.

Geometry and clamping features that support secure mounting

The insert is supplied with a cylindrical hole and a single-sided countersink (40°–60°) to match conventional clamping screws and shim combinations. The 7° relief minimises rubbing on the non-cutting face, while the 2.38 mm thickness delivers sufficient strength for typical cutting forces on smaller tool sizes. Together, these features ensure stable clamping, reduce the chance of vibration-induced edge damage and allow predictable performance in both external and internal turning setups.

Material applications and when to choose SH725

The coated carbide grade is formulated to handle mixed cutting conditions and to offer good resistance to chipping under variable engagement. This makes the insert suitable for general-purpose turning of common steels and alloyed materials where moderate toughness and wear resistance are needed. For operations demanding extremely high-temperature resistance or ultra-high-speed finishing, a specialist grade may be considered; for robust, everyday turning tasks, the SH725 grade is an economical and technically appropriate choice.

Practical selection and handling guidance

Select the insert size and chipbreaker variant according to toolholder stability, depth of cut and workpiece material. The rhombic 07 size and 7° relief are particularly effective in smaller holders or where insert indexing is frequent. When fitting the component, ensure the seating surfaces and screw torque follow the holder manufacturer’s specification to secure repeatable positioning and avoid micro-movement during cutting. Proper mounting extends the effective life of the cutting edge and protects the toolholder interface.

Process benefits and workshop efficiency

Using a coated carbide indexable insert with controlled chip formation and predictable wear contributes to higher process reliability and reduced downtime. Consistent results from batch to batch cut down inspection time and rework. The combination of ISO conformity, a robust coating and a chipbreaker tailored for turning encourages stable machining conditions and helps keep production throughput steady in diverse workshop environments.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The insert with SH725 coated carbide is suitable for a broad range of steels and alloyed materials and is intended for general turning applications where toughness and edge stability are required.

How does the chipbreaker affect machining?
The single-sided chipbreaker on this rhombic insert promotes controlled chip formation during turning, improving swarf evacuation and reducing the risk of recutting, which supports steady tool life.

Which holders are compatible with this ISO insert?
Compatibility depends on holder form, relief angle, tolerance class and clamping method; the ISO designation and the central hole plus countersink align this insert with standard ISO-compatible external holders and boring bars.
