EPGT 040100 SH725 turning insert, rhombic 75° by Tungaloy

The EPGT040100 SH725 Tungaloy turning insert is an ISO‑standard indexable insert designed for precision external and internal turning, optimised for stable edge life and variable engagement conditions

• Rhombic insert 04 with 75° cutting angle
• Coated carbide grade SH725 for stable edges
• 11° clearance angle, single-sided chipbreaker
• Centre hole with countersink (40°–60°), 1.59 mm thick

Stable cutting performance for demanding turning tasks

The EPGT040100 SH725 is built as a coated carbide indexable insert to provide stable cutting-edge behaviour across a range of engagement conditions. The SH725 grade is formulated for toughness and edge stability, which is particularly valuable when using smaller tools or when cutting conditions change frequently. This results in fewer interruptions for tool changes and a more predictable process flow. The single-sided geometry and chipformer selection contribute to consistent chip formation and repeatable surface quality in both external and internal turning.

Assured system compatibility and secure clamping

As an ISO‑standard insert, compatibility with holders is determined by a combination of form, 11° clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The rhombic 04 form with a 75° cutting angle and a 1.59 mm plate thickness matches common seats in turning toolholders. The centre hole with a cylindrical bore and one‑sided countersink (40°–60°) ensures a precise, backlash‑free fit when combined with the correct clamping set and replacement screws, reducing the risk of movement under load and improving process reliability.

Productivity advantages through chip control and tool life

A single-sided chipbreaker teamed with the SH725 coating provides effective chip control while maintaining a robust edge. For series production or mixed batches where tool stability is variable, this combination helps to maintain cycle times and reduces scrap risk. The coating extends tool life by protecting the carbide substrate from thermal and abrasive wear, supporting higher uptime and more consistent part quality over longer runs. These factors contribute directly to improved shopfloor productivity.

Practical selection tips for reliable results

Select the chipbreaker and grade to match the workpiece material and stability of the set‑up: the single‑sided chipbreaker is suitable where controlled chip flow is required and where the holder orientation accommodates non‑reversible cutting edges. Verify holder seat geometry, clamp type and the ISO designation before fitting, and ensure the countersink angle of the clamping screw matches the insert bore for correct preload. For specific machining parameters or holder recommendations, consult technical data sheets or speak with the supplier to align cutting data with application goals.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The EPGT040100 SH725 insert is a coated carbide grade intended for a wide range of turning tasks; selection of the chipbreaker and cutting data should be matched to the specific workpiece material and machining stability.

How is the insert secured in the holder?
The insert uses a cylindrical centre hole with a one‑sided countersink (40°–60°) for positive clamping; correct pairing with the clamping screw and seat is essential for secure fixation of the EPGT040100 SH725.

What distinguishes the SH725 grade from others?
SH725 is a tough, edge‑stable coated carbide designed to maintain cutting edge integrity under variable engagements and to offer reliable performance with smaller tools or unstable set‑ups.

Is the insert reversible or indexable on multiple edges?
This insert features a single‑sided chipbreaker and a rhombic form; edge indexing is determined by the plate geometry and chipbreaker design, so check the insert face and holder orientation for valid index positions.
