TBTR 040900 SH725 Tungaloy turning insert — coated carbide, triangular 60°

TBTR 040900 SH725 is an ISO‑form turning insert designed for external and internal turning where edge stability and consistent chip control are required.

• Coated carbide grade SH725
• 60° triangular geometry
• 9.52 mm plate thickness
• Single-sided chipbreaker
• ISO 040900 compatibility

Increased process reliability through a tough cutting grade

The SH725 grade is a coated carbide formulation optimised for turning with an emphasis on edge stability and resistance to chipping. In practice, the tougher substrate and coating reduce catastrophic edge failure when using smaller tools or when cutting conditions change rapidly. For production environments this translates into fewer interrupted cycles and better repeatability of dimensions, which supports higher overall equipment effectiveness and lower scrap rates.

Clear selection criteria and material adaptability

Choosing the right insert involves matching the geometry and chipbreaker to the workpiece and machining conditions. The triangular 60° geometry provides three indexed cutting edges per insert, while the single-sided chipbreaker offers defined chip formation for many common turning tasks. Compatibility with a toolholder depends on form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; these factors ensure proper seating and secure clamping, avoiding unstable setups and poor surface finish.

Practical system integration and handling advantages

The insert is supplied in the ISO series for use with a corresponding outer holder or boring bar, plus the required clamping or shim set and replacement screws. The 9.52 mm thickness contributes to rigidity in the tool system and helps maintain cutting edge integrity under intermittent cuts. Where high process stability and predictable tool life are priorities, the combination of coated carbide and ISO conformity simplifies tool management and tool‑change planning across multiple machines.

FAQ

Which turning operations suit this insert best?
This insert is intended for general external and internal turning; the TBTR 040900 SH725 indexable insert performs well in interrupted cuts and applications where stable edge behaviour is needed.

What does the SH725 grade offer?
SH725 denotes a coated carbide grade engineered for toughness and edge stability; it is especially suited to smaller tools or variable engagement where chipping risk is elevated.

How is holder compatibility determined?
Compatibility depends on insert form, relief angle (here 5°), tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness (9.52 mm); matching these parameters ensures correct seating and secure clamping.

How many effective cutting edges are available per insert?
With a triangular 60° geometry the insert provides three indexed edges; the single‑sided chipbreaker defines the usable face for consistent chip control.

What are the key dimensions to check before ordering?
Check the geometry angle (60°), relief angle (5°), plate thickness (9.52 mm), size (04) and ISO designation (040900); the SKU is TUN6842956 for ordering reference.
