VPET 080202 SH730 indexable turning insert (ISO‑format) – Tungaloy

A VPET 080202 SH730 indexable turning insert designed for external and internal turning, offering a robust grade for variable engagement conditions.

• ISO‑standard rhombic insert size 08
• SH730 coated carbide for edge stability
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink
• 11° clearance and 0.2 mm corner radius

Consistent cutting performance through a tough grade

The insert is manufactured from coated carbide in the SH730 grade, a tough, edge‑stable composition intended to deliver reliable performance during turning. This material choice reduces the risk of premature edge chipping under changing engagement conditions, which contributes directly to longer effective tool life and fewer indexings. The result is improved machine uptime and a more predictable process flow when machining a variety of workpiece materials.

Designed for straightforward integration into ISO tool systems

As an ISO‑format insert, the component fits standard external holders and boring bars when the form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness match. The rhombic shape and the cylindrical hole with one‑sided countersink (40°–60°) provide secure clamping and fast positioning during tool changes. The system build typically comprises the insert, a compatible outer holder or boring bar, a locating shim or clamp kit, and replacement screws, enabling efficient toolroom logistics and quick changeovers.

Geometry that improves process stability and surface finish

The combination of 11° clearance and a 0.2 mm corner radius gives a compromise between edge strength and achievable surface quality. The small corner radius helps to control cutting forces and maintain dimensional stability on smaller tools, while the moderate clearance angle reduces rubbing on the flank face. The single‑sided chipbreaker promotes predictable chip formation compatible with varied feeds and depths of cut, making this insert suitable for both finishing and light roughing passes when process conditions fluctuate.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The VPET080202 SH730 insert is a coated carbide grade designed for versatile turning applications; selection of the specific chipbreaker and grade suits a broad range of materials and varying engagement conditions.

How does the 0.2 mm corner radius affect machining?
A 0.2 mm corner radius on this turning insert increases edge strength compared with a sharper radius, helping to stabilise cuts and improve dimensional control on external and internal turning operations.

Is the insert compatible with standard ISO holders?
Yes, the ISO‑format VPET080202 is manufactured to ISO dimensions so it is compatible with holders and boring bars that match form, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness.

What does the SH730 grade offer compared with other grades?
The SH730 grade provides a tougher, edge‑stable coated carbide composition that is particularly effective for small tools or variable cutting conditions, delivering consistent performance and extended edge life.

What fixing method does the insert use?
This insert features a cylindrical hole with a one‑sided countersink (40°–60°) for secure clamping with the appropriate screws and shim/clamp sets commonly used in ISO tool systems.
