TNGG 160408 SH725 Tungaloy indexable insert for turning (AddMultiTurn)

A TNGG160408 SH725 indexable insert engineered for multidirectional turning in the AddMultiTurn system, suitable for longitudinal, facing and profile turning.

• Coated carbide grade SH725 for stable cutting edges
• Multidirectional AddMultiTurn system compatibility
• Triangular insert, 16 mm size, 60° cutting geometry
• 0.8 mm corner radius for precise finishing
• Cylindrical hole, double-sided chipbreaker

Greater process reliability through material and coating selection

The combination of cemented carbide substrate and the SH725 coating delivers consistent edge stability under varying engagement conditions, making the insert particularly effective where cut conditions change frequently. The coated carbide composition reduces flank wear and extends usable edge life, which supports predictable cycle times and reduces tool change frequency. For workshops focused on productivity, this translates into fewer interruptions and a more reliable production flow.

Versatile use across turning operations

Designed for the AddMultiTurn multidirectional system, the insert enables several machining directions with a single toolholder, allowing efficient switching between longitudinal, facing and profile turning. The triangular geometry with a 60° cutting angle and 16 mm size offers a balance between strength and accessibility in confined toolpaths. This versatility reduces tooling complexity on the shop floor and supports compact tooling assemblies where multiple orientations are required.

Precision finishing and chip control for consistent surfaces

The 0.8 mm corner radius contributes to controlled cutting forces and a consistent surface finish on workpieces. The insert’s double-sided chipbreaker improves chip formation for typical turning tasks, helping to avoid long, stringy chips and to protect the workpiece surface. The presence of a cylindrical hole ensures secure clamping and reproducible seating in the holder, which is essential for repeatable accuracy in series production.

System integration and handling benefits

Supplied for the AddMultiTurn model series, the indexable insert is part of a system comprising holders, inserts and clamping components intended for fast, secure assembly. The triangular insert form allows multiple indexing positions, increasing tool utilisation before regrind or disposal is needed. Clear specification of insert thickness 4.76 mm, form and hole style supports straightforward selection of compatible holders and reduces setup uncertainty in workshop practice.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The TNGG160408 SH725 insert from Tungaloy is optimised for a broad range of turning applications; the SH725 coating and carbide substrate provide stable cutting edges across many common steels and mixed conditions.

How does the AddMultiTurn system benefit production?
Using the AddMultiTurn-compatible insert reduces tooling complexity by enabling multiple machining directions with a single holder and insert, improving setup flexibility and throughput.

What is the corner radius and why does it matter?
The corner radius is 0.8 mm, which helps balance cutting forces and surface finish; a defined radius supports consistent results during finishing passes.

Is the insert reversible or indexable?
The triangular form and double-sided chipbreaker enable multiple usable cutting edges, allowing several indexing positions before replacement.
