DCGT DCGT11T300 SH725 — Indexable Insert for Turning by Tungaloy

A DCGT11T300 SH725 indexable insert designed for general turning applications, offering a rhombic 55° geometry and a robust, edge‑stable coating suitable for varying engagement conditions and smaller toolholders.

ISO‑standard rhombic 55° geometry Coated cemented carbide SH725 grade 7° clearance angle for secure cutting With cylindrical hole and countersink

Geometry optimised for reliable turning performance

The rhombic 55° geometry delivers a balanced approach to external and internal turning where a compromise between strength and accessibility is required. The 55° approach angle reduces radial cutting forces while maintaining rigidity, which improves tool life under interrupted cuts. The 7° clearance maintains a controlled relief behind the cutting edge to reduce rubbing and heat build‑up. These geometric choices result in a stable cutting process and predictable chip formation for workshop and production environments.

Material and coating for improved edge stability and lifetime

Manufactured from coated cemented carbide and graded SH725, the insert is tailored for applications that demand a tough, wear‑resistant cutting edge. The coating improves flank wear resistance and helps preserve edge sharpness during variations in engagement, making the plate suitable for mixed batch work and tools with smaller diameters. The result is extended in‑service life and less frequent insert changes, supporting higher productivity and lower tooling costs per component.

Practical compatibility and handling guidance

The insert follows ISO standards for indexable turning plates, which simplifies selection for compatible toolholders. Compatibility depends on the insert form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness; ensure the holder accepts a DCGT11T300 profile with a central hole and countersink. The plate features a single‑sided chipbreaker, designed to control chip flow in common turning operations. For reliable clamping, match the substrate thickness and clamping set with the specified 3.97 mm plate thickness and 11 size designation.

Benefits in process stability and application flexibility

Choosing a grade that emphasises edge stability allows consistent performance when machining varying materials or when process parameters change during a production run. The combination of a robust substrate and a tailored coating reduces unplanned downtime and supports higher first‑pass yields. For operations that alternate between small‑diameter holders and heavier engagements, this insert provides a pragmatic balance between toughness and wear resistance.

FAQ

What material applications suit this insert best?
The DCGT11T300 SH725 insert is designed for turning and performs well in a broad range of steels and mixed batches thanks to the SH725 grade and coated cemented carbide construction.

How is the insert clamped in the holder?
Clamping requires a holder that accepts the DCGT11T300 rhombic form with a central cylindrical hole and one‑sided countersink; match the holder’s tolerance class and clamping set to the insert thickness for secure fixing.

Does the insert work for internal and external turning?
Yes, the 55° rhombic geometry and single‑sided chipbreaker make the insert suitable for both external and internal turning operations where access and edge strength must be balanced.

What advantage does the SH725 grade offer?
SH725 provides enhanced edge stability and wear resistance, especially useful for smaller tools or when cutting conditions vary; this results in fewer insert changes and improved process reliability.

Which dimensions are critical when selecting a compatible holder?
Critical dimensions include the insert size (11), thickness (3.97 mm), geometry angle (55°) and the presence and style of the central hole and countersink; ensure the holder is ISO‑compatible for DCGT profiles.
