EPGT040104 EPGT 040104 UX30 turning insert, 0.4 mm radius, 11° clearance — Tungaloy

The EPGT040104 is an ISO‑conforming rhombic turning insert designed for external and internal turning applications where low cutting forces and reliable chip formation are priorities.

• ISO-conforming rhombic insert 04
• UX30 uncoated carbide, sharp cutting edge
• 0.4 mm corner radius for fine finishing
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

Controlled chip formation for consistent cycle times

The UX30 grade of uncoated carbide is specified for operations that demand low cutting forces and good chip formation. In practice, this means fewer interrupted cuts, reduced tendency to chatter and a more predictable material flow at the cut face, which supports repeatable component quality. The ISO designation ensures interchangeability with holders matching the pin and clamp geometry, allowing shops to standardise tooling and reduce set‑up variance.

Geometry and hole design that assist surface finish and clamping

The rhombic plate form, combined with a 0.4 mm corner radius and 11° clearance, is aimed at light finishing and precise turning passes. The modest corner radius reduces tool deflection and helps to produce a finer surface finish on turned parts, while the clearance angle limits rubbing at the flank. The insert is supplied with a cylindrical hole and a one‑sided countersink (40°–60°) to match common clamping systems; the 1.59 mm thickness supports reliable clamping without excessive overhang. A one‑sided chipbreaker further aids controlled chip breakage during interrupted or steady cuts.

Production integration, holder compatibility and application advice

Compatibility with a chosen holder is determined by insert form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening type, size and thickness. The insert fits into standard ISO turning systems and can be combined with suitable external holders or boring bars for internal machining. For shops seeking predictable productivity, the grade and single‑sided chipbreaker recommend this insert for operations where chip control and low force cutting reduce rework and extend downstream process stability.
