• Coated carbide grade SH730
• 0.4 mm corner radius, 5° clearance
• Cylindrical hole with one-sided countersink

Durable cutting performance for consistent production

The coated carbide SH730 is designed to provide a stable cutting edge and extended tool life, especially where engagement conditions vary. As a wear-resistant grade, it delivers improved resistance to edge chipping and maintains dimensional accuracy across medium-duty turning operations. This behaviour is particularly beneficial in series production, where repeatability and surface quality are decisive. The coating reduces friction at the cutting zone, which in turn helps to moderate heat generation and preserve the integrity of the insert during interrupted cuts or variable depths of cut.

Geometry that simplifies holder selection and repeatable clamping

The trigon insert geometry with a 0.4 mm corner radius and a 5° relief angle is suited to a wide range of turning tasks, from finishing to light roughing. The size 03 format and 1.59 mm plate thickness enable compact toolholder setups and are compatible with ISO-standard holders when form, relief, tolerance class, fastening and thickness match the clamping system. The cylindrical hole with a one-sided countersink (40°–60°) ensures positive location and consistent axial positioning, which reduces set-up time and supports repeatable tool changes in multi-shift operations.

Practical application guidance and process benefits

Designed for both external and internal turning, the insert’s single-sided chipbreaker supports controlled chip formation when paired with an appropriate feed and depth of cut. Selection of the SH730 grade and the one-sided chipbreaker should be matched to workpiece material and machine stability to achieve optimal chip control and surface finish. For smaller tools or operations with fluctuating engagement, the grade’s shock resistance contributes to fewer edge failures and lower rejection rates. Overall, this leads to improved process reliability and cost-efficient component manufacturing.

System components and replacement strategy to reduce downtime

The insert is intended to be used as part of a complete ISO system comprising a compatible outer holder or boring bar, a shim/clamp set and replacement clamping screws. Inserts are replaced quickly and securely thanks to the standardised hole and countersink geometry, which reduces machine downtime and simplifies inventory management. Where achievable, keeping a matched supply of shims and screws minimises setup variation, while the standardised format supports cross-usage across toolholders that conform to ISO dimensions.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert suitable for?
The WBGT 030104 SH730 insert, in coated carbide grade SH730, is intended for general turning applications and is particularly effective where a tough, edge-stable grade is required; selection of the chipbreaker and machining parameters should be matched to the specific workpiece material.

How does the 0.4 mm corner radius affect the finish?
A 0.4 mm corner radius provides a compromise between edge strength and surface quality; the radius helps protect the cutting edge from chipping while still producing a satisfactory surface finish in finishing and light-medium turning operations.

What determines compatibility with toolholders?
Compatibility is determined by the insert form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; the insert’s cylindrical hole and countersink require a matching clamping arrangement in holders designed for ISO trigon inserts.

Is the insert suitable for interrupted cuts or unstable conditions?
The SH730 grade is formulated for edge stability and toughness, making it more tolerant of variable engagement and smaller tooling setups than some grades optimised solely for wear resistance.

Can the insert be used for internal turning?
Yes, the trigon format and compact size make the insert suitable for both external and internal turning when paired with an appropriate boring bar or holder that accepts size 03 ISO trigon inserts.
