EPGT 040104 SH730 rhombic ISO turning insert, 11° clearance – Tungaloy

A EPGT040104 SH730 turning insert designed for external and internal turning, offering a tough coated carbide grade for stable cutting under variable engagement conditions.

• Coated carbide SH730 for stable cutting
• Rhombic 04 insert for versatile turning
• 0.4 mm corner radius for fine profiling
• Cylindrical hole with single-sided countersink

High efficiency and stable edge life for turning operations

The combination of the SH730 grade and a protective coating delivers a balance of toughness and edge stability that supports productive turning cycles. Designed for scenarios with varying immersion and intermittent cuts, this coated carbide insert reduces the risk of premature chipping and enables longer runs between index changes. The result is improved machine uptime and consistent component quality, which supports lean production goals and predictable process outputs.

Geometry engineered for repeatable dimensional accuracy

The rhombic plate form in size 04, paired with a 0.4 mm corner radius and an 11° clearance angle, provides controlled cutting engagement and fine-profile capability. The modest radius helps to achieve precise corner definitions without increasing cutting forces excessively. Plate thickness 1.59 mm and the secure central fixation ensure rigid clamping, reducing vibration and enhancing repeatability. Where tight tolerances are required, the geometry supports stable tool paths and consistent surface finishes.

System compatibility and secure clamping for hassle-free integration

As an ISO-standard turning insert, compatibility with holders is determined by form, clearance, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The design includes a cylindrical hole with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°) for reliable seating and clamping torque distribution. Integration into an established tool system requires matching the holder to the insert form and clamping style; this enables straightforward replacement and minimal setup time in production environments.

Practical use and application guidance

The insert is tailored for general turning duties, suitable for both external and internal operations where a durable, edge-stable grade is required. Selection of the correct chipbreaker and grade should follow the workpiece material and machining strategy: the SH730 grade is particularly effective when cutting conditions vary or when smaller tooling dimensions demand resilient edge behaviour. For complex applications, pairing the insert with an appropriate holder and clamp set ensures optimal chip formation and surface quality.
