Reduce tool changes and increase throughput with a multidirectional system

The AddMultiTurn concept enables a single tool assembly to tackle several machining directions, lowering set-up time and minimising idle machine minutes. Engineered for multiaxis turning, the system supports efficient process flows by allowing controlled indexation and secure clamping of the triangular insert. The combination of the AddMultiTurn compatibility and the SH725 grade delivers a practical balance of toughness and wear resistance, which translates into fewer interventions and improved overall productivity on batching and mixed-operation runs.

Stable cutting edges and predictable chip behaviour for mixed conditions

The SH725 grade is a coated carbide designed for edge stability under varying entry angles and interrupted cuts; its toughness makes it particularly suited to smaller cutters and changing engagement. The insert’s double-sided chipbreaker improves chip formation and evacuation in turning, reducing the risk of built-up edge and surface marks. With a corner radius of 0.8 mm, the geometry provides a compromise between edge strength and achievable surface finish, delivering consistent results in general turning and profiling tasks while helping to extend tool life.

Accuracy and secure clamping for repeatable finishes

A triangular plate with a 16 mm size and a 60° geometry gives stable support within standard turning holders and promotes predictable cutting forces. The plate thickness of 4.76 mm and the cylindrical hole allow reliable clamping with common screw or clamp systems, while the 0° clearance angle suits a variety of facing and longitudinal turning profiles. These features combine to produce reproducible part geometry and surface quality, making the insert a practical choice where repeatability and consistent cycle times are required.

FAQ

What applications is this insert best suited for?
The insert is intended for turning, covering longitudinal turning, facing and profile turning; the TNGG160408 SH725 plate is optimised for multidirectional tool assemblies.

How does the SH725 grade perform with changing cutting conditions?
SH725 is a tough, wear-resistant coating grade formulated for stable cutting edges in variable engagement, making it resilient in interrupted cuts and small-tool applications.

Can the insert be clamped in common turning holders?
Yes; the triangular 16 mm design, cylindrical hole and 4.76 mm plate thickness are compatible with standard clamping systems used with AddMultiTurn-compatible holders.

What chip control benefits does this geometry provide?
The double-sided chipbreaker promotes consistent chip formation and evacuation, reducing built-up edge and supporting surface quality during continuous and semi-interrupted turning.

Is this insert reversible or indexed on both sides?
The insert is double-sided, offering multiple usable edges to extend in-process life and lower replacement frequency.
