DCGT 11T304 AH725 Tungaloy turning insert – rhombic 55° ISO-standard

DCGT 11T304 AH725 is an indexable turning insert designed for general turning applications, offering a secure fit and versatile performance for steel and stainless steel machining.

ISO-standard rhombic insert, 55° PVD-coated carbide grade AH725 Single-sided chipbreaker, 0.4 mm radius Central hole with cylindrical seat and countersink

High process reliability for mixed-steel turning

The combination of a PVD-coated carbide substrate and the AH725 grade delivers stable performance when machining a range of steels and rostfreie Stähle. The coating reduces built-up edge and improves heat resistance, which directly increases tool life and lowers unplanned tool changes. For operations where material batches vary, this indexable insert provides a predictable cutting behaviour, ensuring consistent cycle times and repeatable surface quality. The single-sided chipbreaker promotes controllable chip formation, particularly on medium to fine turning passes, and the corner radius 0.4 mm supports a balance between edge strength and surface finish.

Secure clamping and accurate seating for repeatable results

The insert conforms to ISO dimensions, so compatibility with holders depends on form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening and thickness — all standardised for interchangeability. The 55° rhombic geometry gives a versatile approach angle that is suitable for both external and internal turning, while the central hole with cylindrical seat and countersink (40°–60°) provides reliable positional accuracy and clamping stability. A plate thickness of 3.97 mm ensures sufficient rigidity in smaller tooling systems, reducing vibration and helping to maintain dimensional tolerances over longer production runs.

Economical integration and simplified tooling decisions

This indexable insert is intended for applications where process security and flexibility are priorities. The AH725 grade is engineered to resist chipping and breakouts on interrupted cuts and smaller toolholders, reducing scrap risk and set-up time. Selecting a matching holder and clamping set from the same ISO family simplifies inventory and shortens retooling. The standardised form and hole make replacement straightforward, while the PVD coating contributes to lower total cost of ownership by extending life under mixed-material conditions.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for? The DCGT11T304 AH725 insert is designed primarily for machining steel and rostfreie Stähle; the PVD-coated carbide matrix supports operations on mixed steel grades.

How does the single-sided chipbreaker affect performance? A single-sided chipbreaker improves chip control on a range of turning passes, helping the insert to produce consistent chips and reduce the likelihood of entanglement during production.

What determines compatibility with a toolholder? Compatibility is determined by insert form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening style, size and thickness; the ISO-standard DCGT form ensures broad interchangeability with compatible holders.
