TNGG 160408 SH725 – Turning insert, coated carbide, r0.8, 60° by Tungaloy

The TNGG160408 SH725 is a triangular, coated cemented-carbide indexable insert designed for multidirectional turning applications, combining a stable cutting edge with a geometry suited to longitudinal, facing and profiling operations.

• Coated cemented-carbide SH725 grade
• Triangular 16 mm insert form TNGG
• 60° included angle for versatile turning
• Double-sided chipbreaker with cylindrical hole

Increase throughput with multidirectional turning

The AddMultiTurn concept allows one insert to be used across multiple machining directions, cutting down tool inventories and machine downtime. By integrating a multidirectional turning system, setup changes are minimised and process flow becomes more predictable. The insert’s compatibility with standard clamping systems within the model series ensures quick indexability and steady repeatability, supporting a reliable production rhythm and reduced non-productive time. This design is particularly effective where frequent direction changes or compact tool geometries would otherwise cause excessive tool swaps.

Stable cutting edges for variable entry conditions

The SH725 coating on a cemented-carbide substrate provides a balance of toughness and edge stability, tailored for operations with fluctuating engagement or smaller-diameter tooling. The r0.8 corner radius increases edge strength and reduces the risk of premature chipping under interrupted cuts, while the double-sided chipbreaker helps control chip flow and surface quality. Together, these features extend productive tool life and contribute to consistent workpiece finish, which in turn lowers rework rates and supports tighter process windows.

Compact design that fits modular tool systems

With a 16 mm triangular form and a thickness of 4.76 mm, the insert integrates seamlessly into modular holders and clamping units intended for the series. The cylindrical hole offers secure seating and straightforward clamping, while the 60° included angle provides a versatile geometry for turning, profiling and facing tasks. The compact footprint permits use in restricted setups and reduces interference in multi-tasking applications, enabling efficient use of spindle clearance and allowing higher tool-packet density on the turret.

Practical application guidance for stable performance

This indexable plate is optimised for turning scenarios where entry conditions change or where compact tooling is required. The combination of a tough coated grade and a controlled chipbreather fosters predictable wear behaviour and reproducible cutting results. For shop-floor planning, consider the insert’s benefits for small-diameter operations and mixed-direction cycles: fewer tool variants, lower stocking complexity and a streamlined tool-change routine contribute directly to improved shop productivity and process reliability.

FAQ

What machining tasks is this insert designed for?
The TNGG160408 SH725 insert from Tungaloy is designed for longitudinal turning, facing and profiling in multidirectional tool applications where stable edge behaviour is required.

How does the SH725 coating affect performance?
The SH725 coating on the carbide substrate improves edge stability and wear resistance under changing engagement conditions, giving the TNGG160408 SH725 predictable tool life and consistent surface finish.

Is the insert reversible or single-use per side?
The insert features a double-sided design and a chipbreaker that permit indexing to a fresh cutting edge, enabling economical use of both faces where the holder and clamping allow.

Which holder types are compatible with this geometry?
The insert fits holders and clamping systems built for the TNGG geometry and for the AddMultiTurn multidirectional system; compatibility depends on the holder design and clamping method.

What are the key dimensional values to check when specifying an insert?
Important values for the TNGG160408 SH725 include the 16 mm insert size, 4.76 mm thickness, 0.8 mm corner radius and the 60° included angle to ensure correct seating and toolpath planning.
