WBGT 030100 SH725 ISO turning insert for turning, trigon, 80° — Tungaloy

The WBGT030100 SH725 is an ISO-standard trigon turning insert designed for external and internal turning, offering a tough coated carbide grade and a single-sided chipbreaker for controlled material removal.

• Coated cemented carbide grade SH725
• Trigon insert, size 03, 80° geometry
• 5° clearance angle for flexible engagement
• Cylindrical hole with single‑side countersink

High productivity through edge-stable grade and coating

The combination of a coated cemented carbide substrate and the SH725 grade delivers predictable wear behaviour and extended edge life in many turning scenarios. This mechanically tough grade is designed to maintain a stable cutting edge during interrupted cuts or when using smaller tools, which in turn reduces indexing frequency and downtime. The performance focus is on efficient material removal and consistent component quality rather than experimental optimisations.

Rigidity and repeatable clamping for accurate turning

With its trigon footprint and 80° geometry, the insert provides a stable cutting front that resists deflection during medium-duty turning operations. The insert thickness 1.59 mm and size 03 balance stiffness and accessibility for external and internal cuts, while the 5° clearance ensures reliable engagement without excessive contact on the flank face. Compatibility with ISO holders is governed by form, clearance, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness, so selecting a matching clamping seat preserves repeatable positioning and dimensional accuracy.

Controlled chip formation and secure mounting

The single-sided chipbreaker is shaped to encourage short, manageable chips on common turning operations, reducing risk to the workpiece and toolholder. Clamping is assisted by the cylindrical hole with one-sided countersink (40°–60°) which centres the insert and provides positive support under the clamp or clamp screw. For applications with variable cut depths or interrupted feeds, the insert’s geometry and hole design combine to improve seating stability and help maintain consistent surface finish and tool life.

Practical selection and application guidance

Designed specifically for turning, the insert suits a broad range of shop-floor tasks where a balance of toughness and edge stability is required. Choosing the correct chipbreaker and grade combination helps to adapt the same insert series to different materials and machining conditions. Information about holder fit and recommended clamping practice ensures the WBGT 030100 SH725 performs as intended and supports productive, repeatable machining cycles.
