WBGT 030100 SH725 indexable insert for turning — Tungaloy, trigon 5° relief

The WBGT 030100 SH725 is an ISO-standard trigon indexable insert designed for precision external and internal turning where small-tool stability and reliable edge life are required.

• ISO trigon insert, size 03
• SH725 coated carbide grade
• 5° relief angle for stable cutting
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

Consistent chip control and cutting stability for productivity

The insert delivers stable cutting through its single-sided chipbreaker and robust SH725 coating, optimised for turning tasks. The coated carbide composition provides improved resistance to edge chipping under fluctuating engagement conditions, which translates into fewer interruptions and predictable tool changes. In practice, this means higher process reliability during batch production and shorter machining cycles when machining steels and other compatible materials.

Simple matching to toolholders and predictable clamping

Compatibility with toolholders is determined by insert form, 5° relief, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness; the ISO designation ensures straightforward selection of the correct holder and clamping set. The trigon form and central cylindrical hole with single-sided countersink (40°–60°) provide secure seating and repeatable positioning, while the modest 1.59 mm plate thickness supports compact tooling assemblies and fine depth-of-cut settings. This combination reduces set-up time and lowers the risk of incorrect assembly.

Toughness and edge life for variable engagement conditions

The SH725 grade is a coated carbide specifically developed for toughness and edge stability, making it particularly suitable for smaller tools or machining with variable chip loads. Coating reduces flank wear and improves thermal resistance, helping to maintain surface finish and dimensional accuracy over longer tool life. For operators unfamiliar with insert grades: a coated carbide insert offers a hard cutting edge with an engineered surface layer that delays wear and maintains cutting geometry under thermal and mechanical stress.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for machining?
The WBGT 030100 SH725 indexable insert is designed for a broad material range; the SH725 coated carbide grade offers toughness and edge stability suited to steels and similar alloys in turning applications.

How does the insert secure to the toolholder?
Clamping is achieved via the central cylindrical hole with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°); correct seating depends on form, 5° relief, tolerance class and the holder’s clamping geometry.

What advantage does the SH725 coating provide?
The SH725 coating enhances edge toughness and wear resistance, prolonging tool life under variable cutting conditions and maintaining a consistent surface finish during production turning.

Can this insert be used for internal turning as well as external turning?
Yes, the ISO trigon geometry and central hole allow use in both external and internal turning where the holder and cutting parameters are matched to the insert size and thickness.

How to choose the correct chipbreaker and grade for an application?
Select a chipbreaker and grade based on workpiece material, depth of cut and machine stability; the single-sided chipbreaker on this insert is optimised for controlled chip formation in a variety of turning scenarios.
