DCGT 11T302 SH725 — Turning indexable insert by Tungaloy (rhombic, 55° included angle)

DCGT11T302 SH725 Tungaloy turning indexable insert offers a robust carbide grade for varied turning tasks, suited to both external and internal operations.

• ISO turning insert DCGT geometry
• Grade SH725: tough, edge-stable
• Rhombic form, 11 mm size
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

Consistent cutting performance for mixed materials

The SH725 grade is a coated carbide formulation engineered for edge stability and reliable wear behaviour during intermittent or light-contour turning. As a result, the insert delivers repeatable tool life across changing engagement conditions and smaller toolholders. The single-sided chipbreaker design helps control chip formation and evacuation, reducing rework and minimising cycle-time variance. Benefits include lower tool change frequency and more predictable part tolerances when machining a range of steels and general engineering alloys.

Precision fit and secure clamping for steady machining

Compatibility with holders depends on geometry parameters such as form, 7° clearance, tolerance class, fastening and plate thickness. The rhombic plate with an 11 size and a 55° included angle provides a balance between strength and accessibility for shoulder and profile turning. The cylindrical hole with a 40°–60° countersink ensures consistent seating and torque distribution when clamped, contributing to vibration reduction and improved surface finish. Clear, ISO-based geometry simplifies holder selection and reduces setup uncertainty in the workshop.

Practical selection and process advantages

Selecting the correct chipbreaker and grade for the application leads to measurable process improvements: fewer interruptions, higher material removal rates and improved surface integrity. The insert is designed as part of an ISO system comprising the indexable plate, matching external holder or boring bar, shim/seat and clamping set plus replacement screws, enabling rapid replacement and straightforward inventory management. For complex component programmes, the technical attributes translate into predictable throughput and lower overall machining cost per part.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The SH725-coated carbide insert is formulated for a broad material range; the DCGT11T302 insert performs well on steels and common engineering alloys in turning operations.

How does the plate geometry affect holder choice?
Holder compatibility is governed by the rhombic form, the 7° clearance, the plate size and thickness; matching these parameters ensures secure clamping and optimal cutting conditions for the insert.

Is the insert reversible or indexable?
This is an indexable turning insert with a single-sided chipbreaker; when a cutting edge wears, the plate can be indexed or replaced within an ISO tool system.

What fastening and seating features are provided?
The plate has a cylindrical hole with a one-sided countersink (40°–60°) for consistent seating and clamping torque distribution in compatible holders.

Can this insert be used for internal boring as well as external turning?
Yes, the insert is suitable for both external and internal turning applications when combined with an appropriate external holder or boring bar and correct process parameters.
