TNGG 160402 SH725 – Tungaloy Turning Insert (ISO triangular, 60°)

A TNGG160402 SH725 indexable turning insert engineered for general external and internal turning where stable cutting edges and adaptable chip control are required.

• ISO-compliant triangular insert
• SH725 coated carbide grade
• 0.2 mm corner radius for precision
• Double-sided chipbreaker, cylindrical hole

Proven cutting stability for variable engagements

The insert delivers consistent edge life through the SH725 coated carbide grade, which is formulated for toughness and edge stability in turning applications. In practice, this means fewer unexpected tool changes during mixed or interrupted cuts and a more predictable production rhythm. The combination of coating and substrate offers a balance between wear resistance and resistance to chipping, making it suitable for smaller tools and changing entry conditions.

Simple mating with ISO-compatible holders

Designed as an ISO turning insert, the geometry and hole style ensure compatibility with a broad range of external holders and boring bars. Holder fit is determined by form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening and thickness; the listed ISO designation 160402 and the 4.76 mm thickness allow straightforward selection of a matching carrier. This compatibility reduces setup time and supports a modular tooling strategy in the workshop.

Precision geometry for repeatable finishes

The 60° triangular shape with a 0.2 mm corner radius supports accurate profile control on turned parts while allowing multiple indexing positions per insert. The small corner radius is advantageous for fine finishing and close-tolerance work, helping to maintain surface quality without overloading the tool edge. For customers requiring repeatable component quality, this geometry combines flexibility with predictable dimensional results.

Effective chip control and secure clamping

Equipped with a double-sided chipbreaker and a cylindrical hole, the insert promotes stable chip formation across a range of feed rates and materials. The hole style facilitates positive clamping and quick plate exchanges, while the chipbreaker design reduces the risk of long, stringy chips that can interrupt automated processes. These features together contribute to smoother production flow and reduced machine downtime.

Material coverage and recommended uses

The substrate and coating are tuned for general turning operations; the grade is particularly suited where toughness and reliable edge retention are priorities. Typical uses include external and internal turning on medium-strength materials where insert robustness is required rather than aggressive high-speed removal. The plate works well where variable engagement or intermittent cuts demand a resilient cutting edge.

Practical guidance for selection and setup

When integrating this insert into a tooling system, match the insert form, angle and thickness to the chosen holder and select a chipbreaker and grade that correspond to workpiece material and machining stability. For specific workpiece materials or to confirm compatibility with a particular holder, consult the technical advisors or request the relevant holder data sheet for confirmation before production runs.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for? The TNGG160402 SH725 turning insert is designed as a general-purpose solution; the SH725 coated carbide grade provides toughness and edge stability for many common turning applications, particularly where variable engagement occurs.

How is the insert mounted and clamped? The insert uses a cylindrical hole and standard ISO triangular form; clamping relies on the matched holder pocket and fastening hardware specified for the ISO 160402 family.

Can the insert be indexed for multiple cutting edges? Yes. The triangular geometry permits indexing of multiple edges; the double-sided chipbreaker extends the number of usable cutting edges, improving economy per plate.

What does the 0.2 mm radius mean for finish and strength? A 0.2 mm corner radius offers a compromise between fine finishing capability and sufficient edge strength for light to medium turning operations, helping to achieve consistent surface quality without fragile edges.
