TPGT 070104 SH725 triangular indexable turning insert by Tungaloy — 60° geometry, 0.4 mm corner radius

The TPGT070104 SH725 is an ISO triangular indexable insert designed for general external and internal turning, offering a balance of edge stability and adaptable cutting conditions for small tools and changing engagements.

• Triangle insert, 60° geometry
• Coated carbide grade SH725
• 0.4 mm corner radius, precision ground
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

Consistent productivity from a wear-resistant grade

The insert delivers consistent cutting performance through its coated carbide construction and the SH725 grade, which is formulated for toughness and stable edge behaviour. This yields longer effective tool life when machining under variable engagement conditions, reducing downtime for insert changes and supporting predictable cycle times. As a result, production planners can rely on steadier throughput and fewer unexpected interruptions. The combination of a robust substrate and modern coating technology improves resistance to chipping without sacrificing cutting-edge sharpness.

Secure clamping, repeatable positioning and precise geometry

Compatibility with a holder is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, attachment method, size and thickness; the triangular shape with a standard 60° included angle and 11° relief ensures secure seating in most ISO-type turning holders. The insert features a cylindrical hole with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°), designed to work with common clamping systems and to provide repeatable location. Precise dimensions — including 1.59 mm thickness and a 0.4 mm corner radius — contribute to stable cutting behaviour and reproducible part quality, making the component suitable for setups where consistency and interchangeability are required.

Application guidance and material suitability

Designed specifically for turning, the grade and single-sided chipbreaker make this insert appropriate for a wide range of steels and mixed operational demands; select the chipbreaker and grade according to workpiece material, cutting mode and machine stability to optimise chip control and surface finish. The one-sided chipbreaker supports controlled chip formation for typical finishing and medium turning tasks, while the coated substrate helps manage abrasive wear. When machining variable batches or small tools with inconsistent engagement, this insert offers a pragmatic compromise of durability and edge integrity, enabling technicians to focus on process stability and component tolerances.

FAQ

What cutting tasks is this insert best suited for? The TPGT070104 SH725 by Tungaloy is intended for external and internal turning where edge stability and adaptability to changing engagement are required, especially in small-tool or varying-cut conditions.

Which materials can be machined with this grade? The SH725 grade is a tough, coated carbide designed for a broad material range; select the appropriate chipbreaker and cutting data for steels and mixed workpiece materials to achieve optimal tool life.

How does the cylindrical hole with countersink affect clamping? The cylindrical hole with a 40°–60° one-sided countersink provides secure, repeatable seating in common ISO-style clamping systems and supports accurate location of the triangular insert.

Is the 0.4 mm corner radius suitable for finishing passes? Yes, the 0.4 mm corner radius balances edge strength with the ability to produce good surface finish in finishing and light to medium turning operations using correct feeds and speeds.

Can the insert be used in interrupted cuts? The SH725 grade offers good edge stability for variable engagement, so the insert can be used in interrupted cutting, provided machine rigidity and holder choice match the application.
