TNGG 160408 SH725 Tungaloy triangular insert for turning

A TNGG160408 SH725 triangular indexable insert designed for multi-directional turning, suitable for longitudinal, facing and profile operations with dedicated multi-directional holders.

• Triangular 16 mm insert, 60° cutting angle
• Coated carbide grade SH725 for stable edges
• 0.8 mm nose radius for versatile profiles
• Double-sided chipbreaker, cylindrical hole

Multi-directional turning made more efficient

The AddMultiTurn system enables multi-directional turning with a single cutting geometry, so fewer toolsetups are required and machining cycles become more predictable. This triangular indexable insert is intended for turning operations — longitudinal, facing and profiling — and is optimised for holders that support multiple approach directions. The design reduces cycle interruptions and supports higher machine utilisation by simplifying tool inventory and changeovers, which is particularly beneficial in mixed-batch and flexible production environments.

Coating and substrate that ensure edge stability

The SH725 coating on a carbide substrate has been formulated for edge stability and toughness, making it suitable for inserts used in smaller toolholders or where engagement conditions vary. The grade offers resistance to chipping under intermittent cuts while still providing acceptable wear life in continuous cuts. For engineers and buyers who prioritise consistent performance under fluctuating loads, the coated substrate gives a reliable balance between durability and cutting-edge integrity.

Geometry that balances precision and robustness

With a 60° cutting angle and a 0.8 mm nose radius, the geometry supports accurate profile reproduction while tolerating minor deflection and tool runout. The 16 mm size and 4.76 mm thickness deliver the rigidity needed for stable cutting, and the double-sided chipbreaker helps control chip flow and surface finish. Explaining the terms: a larger nose radius improves surface quality and strength at the cutting point, while the chipbreaker shape governs chip formation to prevent entanglement and protect the workpiece surface.

Practical handling and system compatibility

The insert is supplied with a cylindrical hole, facilitating secure clamping and straightforward seating in compatible holders. The triangular form provides three indexing positions per side where applicable, extending usable life between index operations. As part of a system composed of holder, replaceable inserts and a clamping mechanism, the component integrates into conventional turning toolholders designed for multi-directional machining, which helps to streamline tool management and reduce downtime.
