EPGT 040104 SH725 Tungaloy turning insert – rhombic 75° geometry, coated carbide

EPGT040104 SH725 Tungaloy is an ISO‑normed indexable insert designed for turning operations, offering a tough, edge‑stable grade suitable for variable engagement and smaller tooling systems

• ISO‑normed turning insert SH725
• Coated carbide for stable cutting edge
• Rhombic 04 format, 75° approach angle
• Single‑sided chipbreaker, secure hole style
• 0.4 mm corner radius for durability

Increased productivity through a tough, coated carbide grade

The coated carbide SH725 offers a balance between toughness and wear resistance that supports longer tool life and fewer interruptions in machining cycles. As an ISO‑normed turning insert, its design is optimised for external and internal turning where changing engagement conditions occur. The rhombic 04 outline combined with a 75° geometry helps to distribute cutting forces evenly, reducing risk of chipping on small tools while maintaining a consistent surface finish. This makes the insert particularly apt for applications requiring repeatable dimensional accuracy and economical tool usage.

Predictable compatibility and straightforward holder selection

The insert follows ISO conventions, so compatibility with a suitable holder depends on form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness rather than brand name alone. Key dimensions such as 1.59 mm thickness, 11° relief angle and 0.4 mm corner radius define how the part seats and performs; these measurable values help to select matching carriers and clamping systems reliably. The presence of a cylindrical hole with a one‑side countersink (40°–60°) provides secure seating and repeatable positional accuracy, reducing setup variance and streamlining tool changeovers.

Controlled chip formation and robust mounting for stable turning

A single‑sided chipbreaker in combination with the SH725 cutting grade delivers consistent chip control when the chipbreaker, grade and insert geometry are matched to workpiece material and process stability. The insert’s coated carbide substrate is intended to resist edge deformation under variable conditions, making it suitable for a broad range of turning tasks. Together, the secure hole style and ISO geometry reduce the likelihood of loosening or misalignment, supporting uninterrupted production runs and reproducible part quality.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The SH725 grade is a coated carbide designed for a broad range of turning tasks; material suitability should be selected by matching the grade and chipbreaker to the workpiece and machining strategy.

Is the insert compatible with standard ISO holders?
Yes, the insert is ISO‑normed; compatibility with a holder depends on matching form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness rather than brand alone.

How does the 0.4 mm corner radius affect performance?
A 0.4 mm corner radius offers a compromise between edge strength and surface finish, improving resistance to chipping while maintaining acceptable machining accuracy for many turning operations.

Can this insert be used for internal turning as well as external turning?
The geometry and chipbreaker permit use in both external and internal turning; selection of an appropriate holder and stable setup is essential for optimal results.

What does the hole style mean for clamping reliability?
The cylindrical hole with a single‑side countersink (40°–60°) provides secure seating and repeatable positional accuracy, reducing the risk of movement during machining.

Which specific product identifiers should be used when ordering?
Order using the designation EPGT040104 SH725 and manufacturer article number 6737212 or manufacturer SKU TUN6737212 for clarity.
