EPGT 040100 SH730 Wendeplatten - Tungaloy

High cutting stability and consistent chip control result from the combination of the SH730 coated carbide grade and the rhombic 04 geometry, while the 11° relief and 75° included angle support use in compact tool assemblies; order the insert via Metav Werkzeuge or consult the technical team for holder compatibility and application advice.

EPGT040100 SH730 — ISO turning insert for turning, Tungaloy

EPGT040100 SH730 is an ISO-format indexable insert designed for general turning operations, optimised for small tools and variable engagement conditions.

• Coated carbide grade SH730
• Rhombic 04 form, 75° included angle
• 11° relief with cylindrical hole and countersink
• Single-sided chipbreaker for variable engagements

Stable cutting performance for demanding turning tasks

The insert combines a coated carbide substrate with the SH730 grade to deliver stable cutting edges and predictable wear behaviour. The coating and substrate pairing prioritise toughness, so the insert resists chipping under interrupted cuts and varying depths of cut. In practice, this means longer effective tool life and fewer insert changes during production runs; the result is improved uptime and a more consistent surface finish on turned components. The design suits external and internal turning where tool engagement may fluctuate.

Simple integration and secure clamping in ISO systems

Built to ISO dimensions, the indexable insert features a rhombic 04 outline with a 75° included angle and 11° relief, enabling direct replacement in compatible holders. The insert is supplied with a cylindrical hole and a single-side countersink (40°–60°) that supports reliable clamping and accurate seat location in many standard toolblocks and boring bars. Compatibility depends on matching the insert form, relief angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness; verifying these parameters prevents misfit and ensures repeatable positioning for consistent machining results.

Practical benefits that support productivity and flexibility

A single-sided chipbreaker tailored to the grade and geometry improves chip control across a range of materials and cutting conditions, reducing cycle interruptions and easing chip evacuation in compact workspaces. With a nominal thickness of 1.59 mm, the insert is suitable for small-tool setups where limited radial or axial clearance is critical. For workshops seeking a balance of robustness and economy, the SH730 series is particularly effective on mixed batches and jobs that require quick insert changes without sacrificing edge security.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The EPGT040100 SH730 insert by Tungaloy is a coated carbide grade designed for a broad range of materials; the SH730 grade focuses on toughness and stable edge life for mixed applications in turning.

How is the insert clamped in the toolholder?
Mounting relies on the cylindrical hole with a one-sided countersink (40°–60°); correct clamping is achieved when the holder matches the insert form, size 04, relief angle and ISO tolerance class.

Can this insert be used for internal turning?
Yes, the ISO 040100 rhombic geometry and the single-sided chipbreaker allow the insert to be used in both external and internal turning applications when the holder provides adequate support and clearance.

What are the identifying codes for ordering and replacement?
Reference the Tungaloy designation EPGT040100 SH730, article number 6862145 and manufacturer SKU TUN6862145 when ordering or seeking replacements.
