VPET 080202 SH730 indexable insert for turning by Tungaloy — ISO 08 rhombic, coated carbide

The VPET080202 SH730 is an ISO-standard rhombic indexable insert designed for external and internal turning, offering a tough, edge-stable grade for variable engagement and compact tool assemblies.

• VPET080202 insert, ISO 08 rhombic form
• SH730 coated cemented carbide grade
• 0.2 mm corner radius for fine finishing
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

High-efficiency turning with an edge-stable grade

The VPET080202 is built around the SH730 specification, a coated cemented carbide designed for edge stability under changing engagement conditions. This results in reduced flank wear and longer intervals between indexings, which translates into measurable productivity gains on the shopfloor. For short overhangs and compact holders the insert’s geometry helps maintain cut stability, supporting smoother feeds and contributing to a consistent surface finish on workpieces. The focus here is on productive, repeatable turning rather than on experimental setups.

Clear compatibility and secure clamping for reliable results

Compatibility with ISO turning systems depends on a combination of factors: form, clearance, tolerance class, attachment and size. The insert follows the ISO 08 size in a rhombic shape with a 2.38 mm thickness and an 11° clearance angle, ensuring a predictable fit in standard ISO holders. The centre hole is cylindrical with a 40°–60° countersink, enabling secure clamping and straightforward replacement of screws and locators. These measurable specifications make toolsetting reproducible and reduce setup time when switching inserts in series production.

Application guidance for consistent shopfloor performance

Intended for turning operations, this indexable cutting plate features a 0.2 mm corner radius and a single-sided chipbreaker, making it suitable for finishing and light to moderate turning where a fine edge and good chip control are required. The grade is especially recommended for smaller tooling arrangements or situations with changing cut depth and engagement angles, where mechanical stability is at a premium. Selecting this insert supports longer tool life and reliable part quality when the correct holder and cutting parameters are paired with the geometry and chipbreaker selection.

FAQ

What machining operations is this insert intended for?
The VPET080202 SH730 indexable insert is specified for turning operations, covering both external and internal turning where a small corner radius and stable cutting edge are required.

How does the SH730 grade affect tool life?
The SH730 coated cemented carbide provides improved edge stability under variable engagement, which helps reduce flank wear and extends effective tool life in routine turning tasks.

Which holder characteristics are needed for correct compatibility?
Compatibility is determined by plate form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; use an ISO-compatible holder that matches the VPET080202 dimensions and clamping style.

What does the hole and countersink specification mean in practice?
The cylindrical hole with a 40°–60° countersink ensures secure clamping and easy alignment in standard inserts clamps and screws, improving repeatability during index changes.

Is the 0.2 mm radius suitable for finishing passes?
Yes, the 0.2 mm corner radius offers a good balance between edge strength and fine finish, making the insert appropriate for finishing and light turning where surface quality is important.
