TNGG160404 SH725 ISO turning insert — TNGG 160404, triangular 60°, by Tungaloy

TNGG160404 SH725 is an ISO‑standard indexable insert for turning, engineered for external and internal operations where small tools or variable engagement demand a tough, edge‑stable grade.

• Triangular ISO insert, 60° geometry
• Coated carbide grade SH725 for edge stability
• 0.4 mm corner radius for versatile turning
• Cylindrical hole with double-sided chipbreaker

Consistent cutting performance for everyday turning

The insert combines a coated carbide substrate with the SH725 grade to deliver a stable cutting edge under fluctuating engagement conditions. The material selection and coating process provide toughness that helps resist chipping during interrupted cuts and when using smaller toolholders. Because the plate follows the ISO geometry, mechanical compatibility with matching holders is straightforward: fit depends on form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. This standardisation allows efficient tool changeover and predictable process control, supporting a reduction in setup times and scrap rates for medium‑volume production.

Geometry and edge preparation that broaden application range

A 60° triangular shape with a 0.4 mm corner radius and 0° relief angle gives a balance between versatility and strength. The small corner radius supports general turning tasks where a fine radius is needed for finish or when avoiding excessive tool overhang; it also aids in approaching tighter workpiece profiles. The insert’s double-sided chipbreaker provides two usable cutting edges per index, increasing tool life and lowering tooling costs per component. The presence of a cylindrical hole ensures secure clamping in many standard clamp systems, and the 4.76 mm plate thickness contributes to stiffness and resistance to vibration in lighter setups.

Compatibility, handling and process advantages

This indexable plate is part of an ISO insert series that requires selection of a suitable external holder or boring bar, a supporting shim or clamp kit and the correct screw for secure fixation. The coated carbide SH725 grade is optimised for toughness and edge stability, making it particularly appropriate when machining with smaller tools or when cutting conditions change during the cycle. Selecting the correct chipbreaker and type for the workpiece material and machining strategy is essential: when chosen accordingly, the system reduces cycle variability and improves repeatability, which is especially valuable on automated lathes or mixed batch operations.

Practical benefits in the workshop and planning guidance

Using these triangular ISO inserts supports economical stock management: each plate gives multiple indexing opportunities and simplified reordering through a clear article number and SKU. The robust grade and geometry reduce downtime caused by frequent insert failures, while the ISO standard form aids compatibility across suppliers of holders. For process planners, the combination of a coated carbide body, double-sided chipbreaker and standardised mounting means easier simulation and more reliable feeds and speeds estimation. When optimised for a specific material and machine rigidity, this insert contributes to stable chip formation and productive metal removal rates.
