EPGT 040101 SH730 — Turning indexable insert by Tungaloy

EPGT 040101 SH730 is a rhombic, ISO-format indexable insert designed for versatile external and internal turning applications.

• Coated carbide grade SH730 for edge stability
• ISO 040101 rhombic insert, size 04
• Single-sided chipbreaker for predictable chips
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

Efficient cutting performance with a tough coated carbide grade

The rhombic indexable insert is manufactured from carbide and finished with the SH730 coating, a grade optimised for edge stability under variable engagement conditions. The combination of the 11° clearance and a 0.1 mm corner radius delivers a balance between cutting strength and surface integrity, which supports stable turning when alternating between light and heavier cuts. These characteristics reduce the risk of premature edge chipping and contribute to consistent tool life, making the insert suitable for productive machining of a wide range of components.

Secure clamping and simple system integration for reliable set-ups

This ISO-format insert fits into common holder systems provided the shape, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing, size and thickness match the holder specifications. The cylindrical hole with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°) ensures positive seating and repeatable positioning when combined with the appropriate clamping kit and screws. In a standard system build—indexable insert, compatible external holder or boring bar, support shim and retaining screws—this geometry supports fast tool changes and repeatable set-ups, reducing downtime and improving process stability across batch runs.

Predictable chip control and broader material coverage for productive turning

The single-sided chipbreaker design, together with the SH730 grade, enables controlled chip formation and evacuation during common turning tasks; this results in steady cutting forces and improved surface finishes. The insert’s 1.59 mm thickness and ISO 040101 format make it especially suitable for smaller tool assemblies or applications with varying entry conditions where robust cutting edges and stable chip control are required. The result is a measurable improvement in process efficiency and fewer interruptions for tool changes, which supports higher throughput and consistent part quality.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The Tungaloy EPGT 040101 SH730 indexable insert is a coated carbide grade intended for a broad coverage of turning tasks; the SH730 composition offers good edge stability across many steels and mixed conditions.

How is the insert secured in the holder?
The insert uses a cylindrical hole with a 40°–60° countersink, which ensures stable seating when combined with the correct clamp and screw in a compatible ISO 040101 holder.

Can this insert be used for internal and external turning?
Yes, the ISO-format EPGT 040101 SH730 is suitable for both external and internal turning when mounted in the appropriate external holder or boring bar and when the correct chipbreaker is chosen for the operation.

What benefits does the SH730 grade bring to machining?
The SH730 coated grade is engineered for toughness and edge stability, reducing edge chipping under variable cutting conditions and supporting longer, more reliable tool life in turning processes.

Which holder features must be matched for correct compatibility?
Compatibility is determined by shape, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing, size and thickness; ensure the holder matches the ISO 040101 geometry and the 1.59 mm plate thickness for safe and repeatable clamping.
