VBGT 110304 SH725 — ISO turning insert for external and internal turning, Tungaloy

VBGT110304FN-JS SH725 is an ISO-standard indexable turning insert for external and internal turning, combining a 35° rhombic geometry with a robust coated carbide grade for stable cutting under varying engagement conditions.

• ISO‑standard rhombic insert, 35° geometry
• SH725 coated carbide for edge stability
• 0.4 mm corner radius for precise profiling
• Compatible with standard external/internal holders

Reliable ISO compatibility and secure clamping for fewer interruptions

The ISO designation and standardised form ensure straightforward integration into existing tool systems, so the insert sits correctly by form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening and thickness. The 35° rhombic geometry and the cylindrical hole with single‑side countersink (40°–60°) allow secure clamping in common external holders and boring bars. This compatibility reduces setup time and helps maintain a predictable tool path, which in turn supports stable cycle times and fewer unplanned stoppages.

Durable coated carbide for consistent edge stability and tool life

The SH725 grade is a coated carbide developed for toughness and edge reliability, especially effective for smaller tool bodies or applications with changing depths of cut. Because the grade favours stable chip formation, it helps to avoid premature chipping under interrupted cuts and varying engagement, extending usable life and improving batch consistency. The coating supports wear resistance while the substrate provides fracture toughness — a combination that balances longevity with dependable performance.

Geometry optimised for precision and accessibility in turning

With a 0.4 mm corner radius and an insert thickness of 3.18 mm, the geometry is tailored to fine profiling and finishing as well as medium cutting tasks. The modest corner radius gives a controllable cutting edge for accurate contours, while the compact 11 mm size and 35° lead angle facilitate access in restricted bores or close‑clearance features. Where surface finish and edge control matter, the specified relief angle of 5° contributes to lower rubbing and consistent engagement.

Practical selection guidance and production benefits

Choose the JS chipbreaker and the SH725 grade to match the workpiece material and the machining strategy; this pairing is advantageous for varied engagement and when tool stability may fluctuate. Using an ISO insert within a complete system — holder, shim/clamp set and spare screws — simplifies inventory and offers fast replacement on the shop floor. The result is improved throughput, reproducible component quality and cost efficiency through longer intervals between indexings and replacements.

FAQ

What holder types are compatible with this ISO insert?
The VBGT110304FN-JS SH725 is designed for standard ISO external holders and suitable boring bars when the holder matches the insert form, relief angle and thickness; ensure the clamp and shim suit the rhombic shape.

For which turning tasks is this grade particularly recommended?
The SH725 coated carbide grade excels in situations with variable engagement and for smaller tool bodies, offering a balance of toughness and wear resistance for both finishing and medium cutting tasks.

How does the 0.4 mm corner radius affect surface finish and strength?
A 0.4 mm corner radius provides precise profiling with improved edge strength compared with smaller radii, delivering a good compromise between surface quality and resistance to chipping during interrupted cuts.

Can this insert be used for internal turning operations?
Yes, the compact 11 mm size and 35° geometry make the insert suitable for many internal turning situations, provided the chosen holder offers sufficient clearance and rigidity.

What other components are required to assemble a complete tool system?
A compatible ISO external holder or boring bar, a matching shim/clamp set and replacement clamping screws form the complete system for mounting the insert.
