DCGT070204 SH725 rhombic indexable turning insert by Tungaloy — rhombic form, 7° clearance

A DCGT070204 SH725 indexable insert designed for general external and internal turning, offering a balanced combination of cutting-edge stability and compatibility with ISO-standard toolholders.

*Coated carbide grade SH725 for stable cutting
*Rhombic insert form 07 with 0.4 mm corner radius
*7° clearance angle for reliable engagement
*Cylindrical hole with single-sided countersink

Consistent cutting performance for variable turning tasks

The insert delivers stable cutting-edge behaviour through the SH725 coated carbide grade, developed for toughness and edge security in fluctuating engagement conditions. The 0.4 mm corner radius moderates cutting forces and improves edge strength, making the component particularly suitable for smaller tool geometries and interrupted cuts. Compatibility with standard ISO holders is determined by form, clearance angle (7°), tolerance class, fixation and plate thickness; this ensures the insert integrates reliably into existing tool systems without compromise to repeatability.

Improved chip control and extended usable life

A single-sided chipbreaker profile promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation, reducing the risk of chatter and surface blemishes during turning operations. The rhombic geometry combined with the coating properties of SH725 enhances wear resistance and allows longer effective tool life under mixed cutting regimes. For workshops aiming to increase throughput while maintaining surface quality, this plate balances productivity and process security by lowering the frequency of index changes and regrinds.

Practical selection and system integration guidance

The insert is part of an ISO-standard system build: indexable plate, matching external holder or boring bar, backing/locking set and replacement screws. Plate thickness of 2.38 mm and the 07 size classification must match the chosen holder to guarantee clamping stability. The insert’s cylindrical hole with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°) secures repeatable seating and torque transmission. When choosing a chipbreaker and grade, align the SH725 toughness with workpiece material and the expected engagement stability; this reduces downtime and supports predictable tool-change intervals.

FAQ

What materials can this insert machine effectively?
The Tungaloy DCGT070204 SH725 insert is a coated carbide grade intended for a broad range of turning tasks; its toughness and chip control make it suitable for many steels and mixed materials where a stable cutting edge is required.

How does the 0.4 mm corner radius affect performance?
A 0.4 mm corner radius increases edge strength and distributes cutting forces more evenly, improving tool life and reducing the likelihood of edge chipping during interrupted cuts or variable engagement.

Is the insert compatible with standard ISO holders?
Compatibility depends on holder form, clearance angle (7°), tolerance class, fixation method, size and plate thickness; the insert is manufactured to ISO dimensions to ensure integration with matching ISO-standard holders.

What advantage does the single-sided chipbreaker provide?
The single-sided chipbreaker concentrates chip control in the primary cutting zone, supporting predictable chip flow and cleaner surfaces in both external and internal turning operations.

Can this insert be used with small toolholders or variable cutting conditions?
Yes — the SH725 grade was selected for edge stability in smaller tools and changing engagement scenarios, offering reliable performance under such conditions.
