VPET 080202 SH725 ISO turning insert, rhombic 08, 11° clearance — Tungaloy

The VPET 080202 SH725 is an ISO‑standard rhombic turning insert intended for external and internal turning, offering a balanced combination of chip control and edge stability for variable engagement conditions.

• Rhombic 08 geometry, 11° clearance
• SH725 coated carbide grade
• Single-sided chipbreaker for stable chips
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

Reliable performance for varied turning tasks

The VPET 080202 SH725 insert pairs a coated carbide substrate with the SH725 grade to provide stable cutting edges under changing engagement conditions. This construction results in consistent wear behaviour and extended tool life, which reduces idle time for index changes. The 0.2 mm nose radius supports fine finishing while maintaining edge strength; the overall combination delivers measurable gains in process reliability for short and medium-run turning operations.

Clear mounting and broad holder compatibility

Compatibility with a toolholder is determined by geometry, 11° clearance, tolerance class, fastening and thickness; the insert’s 2.38 mm plate thickness and the cylindrical hole plus single‑side countersink (40°–60°) ensure secure clamping and repeatable seating. Specifying holders that match the VPET form avoids misalignment and vibration, so machining stability is preserved. This clarity in fitment helps shorten setup times and supports predictable production planning.

Predictable chip control and surface quality

The single-sided chipbreaker is engineered to produce manageable chips across a wide range of materials and cutting conditions, improving evacuation and reducing re-cutting. Controlled chip formation contributes to a more uniform surface finish and reduces the risk of workpiece damage. For finishing passes the combination of rhombic 08 geometry and the modest nose radius achieves a balance between material removal and surface integrity.

Practical selection guidance for machining strategy

Choose the SH725 grade when edge robustness and reliable wear resistance are priorities, especially for smaller tools or operations with variable depths of cut. For heavily interrupted cuts or abrasive materials, pair the insert with holders and cutting parameters that prioritise rigidity. The ISO‑designation and standardised form make it straightforward to match replacements and spare parts, simplifying inventory management and ensuring continuity in production.
