DCGT 11T304 SH725 Wendeplatten - Tungaloy

Benefit from a combination of reliable edge stability, ISO compatibility and a fine 0.4 mm corner radius for predictable turning results. The coated carbide grade SH725 provides process stability even with smaller tools or fluctuating engagement conditions; order the insert via Metav Werkzeuge or consult their specialists for machining recommendations.

DCGT11T304 SH725 — Tungaloy turning insert, coated carbide, 0.4 mm radius

The DCGT11T304 SH725 is an ISO-standard indexable insert for turning, designed for robust edge performance in varied engagement conditions and compatible with ISO toolholders.

• Coated carbide for stable cutting
• Rhombic 55° geometry for versatility
• 0.4 mm corner radius for fine finishing

Stable cutting performance from a tough coated grade

The SH725 grade is a coated carbide designed to maintain a stable cutting edge under variable engagement, which reduces unplanned tool changes and supports continuous production. The formulation is optimised for edge integrity, making it particularly suitable for smaller tooling assemblies or operations where cut depth and feed can vary. This leads to improved process reliability and can lower overall machining costs through extended insert life and fewer indexings.

Geometry and edge design for consistent finishes

A rhombic plate with a 55° included angle and a 0.4 mm corner radius delivers a balance between accessibility and finish capability. The insert’s 7° clearance angle and one-sided chipbreaker help control chip formation and contact conditions, supporting repeatable surface quality in both external and internal turning. The 3.97 mm thickness contributes to rigidity in the clamped assembly, reducing vibration and promoting dimensional consistency across batch production.

ISO compatibility and secure clamping for simple integration

Produced to ISO dimensions, the insert is intended for straightforward integration into established tool systems; compatibility is defined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The plate is supplied with a cylindrical hole and a single-sided countersink (40°–60°) to ensure reliable clamping and positional repeatability when used with the appropriate shim, clamp and holder. Selecting a matching chipbreaker and grade according to workpiece material and operation will optimise performance and surface result.

FAQ

Which operations are suitable for this insert?
The insert is intended for external and internal turning; the chipbreaker and grade should be matched to the machining task and workpiece to achieve the desired surface quality and tool life.

How does the clamping arrangement secure the insert?
Clamping uses the cylindrical hole with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°) to enable secure, repeatable positioning when used with the correct shim, clamp and holder designed for ISO-standard inserts such as the DCGT11T304 SH725.

What are the key geometry advantages for surface finish?
The rhombic 55° geometry combined with a 0.4 mm corner radius and a 7° clearance angle provides accessibility for internal features and consistent contact conditions that support improved surface finish and dimensional control.

Is the grade suitable for unstable engagement or smaller tools?
Yes, the SH725 coated carbide grade is formulated for edge stability under variable engagement and is specifically noted for reliable performance with smaller tooling assemblies.
