CCMT 060208 GH730 – ISO turning insert, rhombic 80° by Tungaloy

A CCMT 060208 GH730 carbide indexable insert from Tungaloy designed for ISO-compliant external and internal turning, featuring a single-sided chipbreaker for reliable chip control

• CCMT 060208 geometry for ISO holders
• GH730 grade for wear resistance
• Single-sided chipbreaker for stable cutting
• Rhombic 80° shape with 0.8 mm radius

Improved process stability through grade and substrate

The GH730 grade is a Tungaloy-developed carbide mix engineered to balance wear resistance and toughness, which results in a more consistent edge life under varying cutting conditions. This balance reduces the frequency of tool changes and supports longer uninterrupted machining cycles, improving overall productivity. For turning operations, particularly where mixed batches or varying workpiece conditions occur, the predictable performance of a well-chosen grade minimises scrap and increases first-pass yield. The grade complements the insert geometry to deliver reliable performance across common turning tasks.

Precise geometry and straightforward holder compatibility

The CCMT 060208 follows ISO dimensions and a rhombic 80° form, with a 0.8 mm corner radius and 7° clearance, and a plate thickness of 2.38 mm. These measurable features determine fit and function: form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness are the criteria by which compatibility with a clamping system is assessed. The insert is supplied with a cylindrical hole and a single-side countersink (40°–60°) to match standard clamping screws and shims. As a result, integration into existing toolholders is straightforward when the holder is selected for the corresponding ISO insert family, reducing setup time and ensuring secure clamping during turning.

Chip control and application-specific selection

A single-sided chipbreaker is integrated to support controlled chip formation during both external and internal turning. The chipbreaker geometry directs chips away from the cutting zone, lowering risk of entanglement and improving surface finish. Selecting the correct chipbreaker and insert grade is essential: match the chipbreaker style and GH730 to the workpiece material, depth of cut and machine stability to obtain the best combination of surface quality and tool life. For unstable setups or interrupted cuts, the increased edge stability provided by the grade helps to avoid premature edge chipping.

System advantages and practical handling

The insert is intended to form part of a complete tool system consisting of the ISO plate, a matching external holder or boring bar, a shim/clamping set and replacement screws. This system approach simplifies maintenance: only the indexable insert is replaced while the holder remains in service, reducing tooling costs and inventory complexity. The standardised CCMT form enables flexible stock management across workshops, and the carbide substrate ensures consistent performance under regular turning loads.

FAQ

Is the CCMT 060208 GH730 compatible with standard ISO holders?
The CCMT 060208 GH730 insert is ISO-compliant; compatibility is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness and should be checked against the holder specifications.

Which workpiece materials suit this grade?
The GH730 grade provides a balance of wear resistance and toughness suitable for a broad range of turning applications when matched with the correct chipbreaker and cutting parameters.

What effect does the 0.8 mm corner radius have?
A 0.8 mm corner radius increases edge strength and can improve tool life under heavier cuts, but it requires consideration for small-detail work where corner radii may influence part geometry.

How is the insert secured in the holder?
The insert features a cylindrical hole with a single-side countersink (40°–60°) and is secured using the appropriate screw, shim and clamping set for the chosen ISO holder.

Can this insert be used for internal turning?
Yes, the geometry and chip control features make the insert suitable for both external and internal turning when paired with a compatible boring bar or holder.
