EPGT040102 SH725 EPGT turning insert by Tungaloy – coated carbide, 0.2 mm radius

The EPGT040102 SH725 is an ISO-standard rhombic turning insert engineered for external and internal turning, offering a coated carbide grade optimised for stable cutting and varied engagement conditions.

• Coated carbide grade SH725 for toughness
• 0.2 mm corner radius for precise finishes
• 11° clearance angle for secure seating
• ISO rhombic insert, size 04 with centre hole

Reliable chip control that reduces rework and downtime

The SH725 grade is a coated carbide designed to deliver stable cutting and consistent chip formation, particularly where tool engagements vary or where smaller tooling is used. The single-sided chipbreaker promotes predictable chip behaviour, which reduces the risk of built-up edge and improves surface finish on both external and internal turning operations. For production environments seeking repeatable cycles, this insert’s combination of material and chip geometry supports higher process stability and fewer interrupted cycles, enabling smoother workflow and lower scrap rates.

Precision seating and edge stability for accurate, repeatable turning

With a 0.2 mm corner radius and an 11° clearance angle, the insert offers a balance between edge strength and finishing ability. The rhombic ISO form and the central cylindrical hole with single-side countersink (40°–60°) ensure reliable clamping and alignment in compatible holders; compatibility is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The plate’s 1.59 mm thickness and size 04 classification make it suitable where compact tool geometry is required without sacrificing repeatability. These attributes together reduce vibration risk and maintain cutting-edge integrity over longer tool life.

Straightforward integration into ISO tool systems for versatile turning tasks

As an ISO-standard turning insert, the EPGT040102 fits into established toolholder systems alongside matching shims, clamping sets and replacement screws, simplifying inventory and changeover. The insert is applicable for a broad range of turning tasks; select the chipbreaker and SH725 grade according to workpiece material and machine-tool rigidity for optimal results. Clear identification of the insert geometry and grade helps maintenance and procurement teams reduce setup times and ensures the right insert is selected for finishing or medium-duty roughing, contributing to higher shop-floor efficiency.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The EPGT040102 SH725 insert is formulated as a coated carbide suitable for general turning; select the SH725 grade and chipbreaker configuration according to the specific workpiece material and rigidity.

How does the 0.2 mm corner radius affect finish and tool life?
A 0.2 mm corner radius offers a compromise between sharper finishes and edge strength, improving surface quality while maintaining resistance to chipping when using the SH725 grade.

Is the insert compatible with standard ISO holders?
Yes, the insert is ISO-standard; compatibility depends on holder form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness—ensure the holder matches the rhombic 04 geometry and 1.59 mm plate thickness.

What advantages does the SH725 coating provide in turning operations?
The SH725 coating delivers enhanced toughness and consistent chip control, supporting stable cutting under variable engagement conditions and promoting longer edge life in many turning applications.

Can the insert be used for both roughing and finishing?
The insert can serve in both roles depending on the chosen chipbreaker and machining parameters; its 0.2 mm radius and graded coating favour a balance between finishing capability and edge durability.
