WBGT 030100 SH730 — Tungaloy turning insert (ISO 030100)

The WBGT030100 SH730 Tungaloy indexable insert is designed for precision external and internal turning, offering a trigon form and a tough coated carbide grade for variable engagement conditions

• Coated carbide grade SH730 for edge stability
• Trigon insert, ISO size 03, 80° cutting edge
• 5° clearance angle for controlled chip flow
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

Stable performance where cutting conditions vary

The combination of a coated carbide substrate and the SH730 grade provides a balance between toughness and wear resistance that favours stability under mixed cutting conditions. This characteristic reduces the risk of premature edge chipping when engagement depth or direction changes, which in turn supports uninterrupted production cycles and consistent dimensional results. For smaller tools or intermittent cuts, the material selection contributes directly to predictable tool life and fewer insert changes, improving machine uptime and process economy.

Secure mounting for repeatable precision

A trigon profile with a central mounting option ensures repeatable seating and a compact clamping footprint. The trigon shape, together with the cylindrical hole and the single-sided countersink (40°–60°), delivers a reliable mechanical interface that resists rotation and lateral movement during heavy cuts. With a plate thickness of 1.59 mm and ISO conformity, the insert integrates into standard clamping systems and supports repeatable register positions for accurate indexation, simplifying tool change procedures and reducing setup time.

Controlled chip formation and surface quality

An asymmetric chipbreaker design concentrates chip control on the active cutting side, which improves chip segmentation and evacuation on interrupted or continuous turning passes. The geometry around the 80° cutting edge and the 5° clearance angle helps maintain cutting stability, lowers cutting forces in many conditions and reduces the likelihood of built-up edge. The result is a more consistent surface finish and fewer secondary operations — a practical advantage in batch production and precision finishing tasks.

System compatibility and application flexibility

Designed as an ISO-standard turning insert, the unit fits a typical system assembly: the ISO insert, a matching external holder or boring bar, a support shim or clamping set and replacement screws. Selection of the appropriate chipbreaker and grade should follow the workpiece material, machining strategy and machine-tool stability; the combination of SH730 and a one-sided chip control element is particularly suitable where edge resilience is prioritised. This modular approach allows shops to adapt the insert to a wide spectrum of steels, cast irons and non-ferrous materials by pairing it with the correct holder and cutting parameters.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The WBGT030100 SH730 insert is designed for a broad range of materials; the SH730 grade emphasises edge stability and is especially suited to varied engagement conditions commonly encountered when turning steels, cast irons and mixed batches.

How does the trigon form benefit machining?
A trigon insert provides multiple cutting edges and compact seating geometry; this enables reliable indexation and efficient use of the insert body when one edge is worn, helping to maintain consistent tool position and repeatable part quality.

What clamping features ensure secure mounting?
The combination of a cylindrical hole with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°) ensures the insert seats securely in the pocket and resists rotation under load, supporting stable cutting forces and predictable register positions.

Is this insert compatible with ISO holders?
Yes — the WBGT030100 conforms to ISO dimensions and is intended for use in standard ISO-compatible external holders or boring bars when the holder matches form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness.

How should the chipbreaker be selected?
Choose the chipbreaker based on material, depth of cut and machine stability; the one-sided chip control on this insert promotes segmented chips and reliable evacuation in many turning operations, which can improve surface finish and reduce secondary handling.
