EPGT 040102 SH730 indexable turning insert by Tungaloy — coated carbide, 11° relief

The EPGT 040102 SH730 is an ISO‑standard rhombic indexable insert for external and internal turning, engineered for stable cutting with small‑tool setups and changing engagement conditions.

• ISO‑standard rhombic insert 04 size
• SH730 coated carbide for tough edges
• 11° relief angle for stable cutting
• Central hole with countersink for secure clamping

Consistent performance where engagement varies

The insert delivers repeatable cutting results even when the depth of cut or entry conditions fluctuate. The SH730 grade is a coated carbide formulation developed for edge stability and resistance to micro‑chipping; this reduces unscheduled tool changes and supports longer uninterrupted machining periods. By combining a robust grade with a rhombic geometry, the insert contributes to predictable tool life and steady cycle times in mixed production environments.

Easy integration into ISO turning systems

Compatibility is ensured by the ISO form and defined tolerances: the rhombic 04 format, 11° relief, and 1.59 mm thickness match standard holders and clamping kits. The insert features a central hole with a cylindrical bore plus a one‑side countersink (40°–60°), allowing secure fixation with standard screws and clamping sets. This system approach simplifies toolroom logistics and shortens changeover time between external and internal operations.

Chip control and edge security for small‑tool turning

A single‑sided chipbreaker and the grade’s toughness make the insert appropriate where small toolholders or intermittent cuts are used. The geometry and the coated carbide surface work together to shape chips and avoid entanglement, improving surface quality and reducing secondary deburring. Stable edge integrity under varying loads supports higher feed rates where process stability is required rather than maximal removal rates.

Practical benefits for workshop productivity

Choosing this insert supports cost‑effective machining through fewer tool regrinds and predictable replacement intervals. The ISO‑compliant design eases stocking and holder selection, while the SH730 coating extends serviceable life in many turning scenarios. In practice, the insert forms part of a system consisting of the ISO plate, an appropriate external holder or boring bar, a backing/clamping set and replacement screws, enabling fast maintenance and consistent clamping reliability.

FAQ

What turning tasks is this insert designed for?
The EPGT040102 SH730 insert from Tungaloy is intended for external and internal turning where stable edges and consistent chip control are required, particularly in small‑tool or varying engagement applications.

How is compatibility with holders determined?
Compatibility depends on form, relief angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness; the ISO‑compliant geometry and the central hole with countersink allow use with matching holders and standard clamping kits.

Which benefits does the SH730 grade provide?
The SH730 coated carbide grade offers toughness and edge stability, reducing micro‑chipping and improving tool life under intermittent loads and changing engagement conditions.

How should the insert be clamped in the tool system?
The insert uses a central cylindrical hole with a one‑side countersink (40°–60°) and requires a matching screw and clamping set; correct clamping ensures repeatable performance and secure fixation.
