SCMT 09T304 T505 indexable insert for turning — Tungaloy

A SCMT 09T304 T505 indexable turning insert engineered for efficient, economical machining of cast iron in ISO-based tool systems.

• CVD-coated carbide for durable cutting
• Optimised for cast-iron machining
• Square form with 90° included angle
• 0.4 mm corner radius for improved finish

Stable chip control that increases process efficiency

The insert delivers consistent chip control thanks to its one-sided chipbreaker and the T505 grade, which is optimised for productive cast-iron machining. The combination of the CVD-coated carbide substrate and the chipformer reduces the risk of long, stringy chips and helps maintain a stable cutting process. As a result, cycle times are kept short and machine utilisation is improved; fewer interruptions for chip clearing lead to more predictable production runs and easier process planning.

ISO conformity and straightforward tool set-up

Compatibility with toolholders is governed by the ISO format: shape, 7° relief angle, tolerance class, fastening style, size and thickness determine fit and repeatability. The square form and the cylindrical hole with single-sided countersink (40°–60°) enable secure clamping and reliable seating in standard clamping systems. Using a dedicated holder, shim and clamping kit, inserts can be indexed or replaced rapidly, which supports lean toolroom workflows and minimises downtime during changeover.

Robust design for consistent results and lower tooling cost

With a 0.4 mm corner radius and a 3.97 mm thickness, the plate balances edge strength and surface finish for general turning tasks. The CVD coating enhances wear resistance under intermittent and continuous cuts, extending tool life in serial production. Fewer insert changes and predictable wear behaviour translate into lower tooling cost per component and more consistent part quality. This insert is therefore suited to workshops that prioritise repeatability and economical machining of cast iron components.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The SCMT 09T304 T505 insert is designed primarily for cast iron machining thanks to its T505 grade and CVD-coated carbide construction, providing stable chip control and wear resistance during turning operations.

How does the ISO designation affect holder selection?
ISO conformity means the insert's fit is determined by its shape, size and tolerance class; the SCMT09T304 form is matched to standard square indexable holders and requires a compatible clamping set for correct seating.

What surface finish can be expected with a 0.4 mm corner radius?
A 0.4 mm corner radius balances edge strength and surface quality, delivering improved finish over larger radii while maintaining sufficient robustness for general turning tasks with this grade.

Is the insert suitable for interrupted cutting?
The T505 grade and robust CVD coating provide resilience under variable cutting conditions; however, selection should consider stability, cutting parameters and holder rigidity for interrupted cuts.
