WNGG080404 GT720 – ISO turning insert for finishing and light turning (Tungaloy)

A WNGG080404 GT720 indexable turning insert engineered for finish to light turning of steel, offering a trigon form with a cylindrical hole and a 0° rake angle for stable seating.

• ISO trigon insert, 80° cutting geometry
• GT720 cermet for superior surface finish
• Double‑sided chipbreaker for consistent chips
• Cylindrical hole for secure clamping

Achieve consistent surface quality and dimensional accuracy with a cermet finish grade

The GT720 grade is a cermet or coated cermet formulated for finishing and light machining of steel, delivering a controlled wear pattern that supports repeatable tolerances. The combination of fine-grain cutting material and an optimised edge preparation reduces built-up edge and helps produce a finer surface finish, particularly when close dimensional control is required. With a 0.4 mm corner radius and an 80° geometry, this insert balances strength at the cutting edge with the ability to hold small radii for accurate profiles. For workshops aiming to uphold tight part specifications, the material choice and edge geometry translate directly into fewer rework cycles and steadier process capability.

Designed for straightforward integration into ISO turning systems and reliable clamping

As an ISO-standard insert, compatibility with holders is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The trigon plate form and cylindrical hole simplify secure seating in compatible toolholders, while the double‑sided chipbreaker allows economical indexing for extended service life. Select the chipbreaker and grade that match workpiece stability and machining strategy; typical applications include external and internal turning where finish and stability are priorities. Clear identification of the insert size ("08") and the ISO code helps in selecting the correct matching turning insert holder and clamp set for immediate deployment on the shop floor.

Improve process productivity through stable wear and predictable performance

The GT720 specification focuses on stable wear and surface integrity rather than aggressive metal removal rates, making it suited to finishing passes and light cutting. The double‑sided design increases usable cutting edges per insert, reducing tool-change frequency and improving uptime. The material and geometry aim to provide a balance between edge life and finish quality, supporting consistent batch production and reduced variability between parts. Backed by Tungaloy's material know-how, this insert supports a productive machining routine with fewer surprises and predictable tool consumption, contributing to measurable process economics over time.

FAQ

What is the primary application for this insert?
The WNGG080404 GT720 is intended for finishing to light turning of steel, where surface finish and dimensional accuracy are the principal goals.

Which holder compatibility aspects must be checked?
Compatibility depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness; the trigon form and cylindrical hole require a matching ISO holder and clamp set for secure seating.

How does the GT720 grade affect tool life and finish?
GT720, a cermet grade, emphasises stable wear and a fine cutting edge, which supports improved surface quality and predictable tool life during finishing operations.

How many effective cutting edges are available per insert?
With its double‑sided chipbreaker, the insert provides multiple indexing positions, increasing the number of usable edges before replacement is required.
