EPGT 040100 SH730 Tungaloy turning insert — rhombic ISO 040100, 11° clearance

The EPGT040100 SH730 Tungaloy is an ISO rhombic turning insert intended for external and internal turning operations where consistent edge stability and reliable chip control are required.

• ISO 040100 rhombic geometry
• SH730 coated carbide grade
• 11° clearance for secure cutting
• Cylindrical hole with countersink

Increased productivity through a stable, coated grade

The SH730 grade is a coated carbide formulation designed for turning applications that require a stable cutting edge under changing engagement conditions. The coating improves wear resistance and heat management so that the cutting edge retains geometry over longer intervals, which translates into fewer tool changes and smoother production flows. In practice, the result is more consistent component tolerances and reduced unscheduled downtime, especially when machining with compact tools or variable depths of cut.

Secure clamping and ISO compatibility for predictable set-up

Compatibility with standard holders is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixation method, size and thickness; this rhombic insert conforms to the ISO standard for turning inserts and fits common external holders when the matching seat and screw are used. The 11° clearance reduces rubbing on the flank face and helps to maintain surface finish, while the 1.59 mm thickness and cylindrical hole with one-sided countersink (40°–60°) provide secure clamping and reliable repeatability in the toolpost. For shops that value quick changeovers and repeatable clamping, these design details make set-up both straightforward and dependable.

Application focus and economical operation

Specifically intended for turning, the insert features a single‑sided chipbreaker and a rhombic 04 format that balance chip control with cutting edge strength. The SH730 grade is engineered for toughness and edge retention, making it particularly suitable where tool engagement varies or where smaller tooling systems are used. Selecting this grade can be a cost-effective strategy: longer edge life reduces inventory turnover for inserts and can lower overall cutting costs while maintaining the quality of the finished component.

FAQ

What turning tasks is this insert best suited for?
The EPGT040100 SH730 Tungaloy turning insert (SKU TUN6862196) is tailored for external and internal turning where a tough, edge‑stable grade is needed, particularly with smaller tools or varying engagement.

Which holder characteristics are required for correct mounting?
Correct mounting depends on holder form, clearance, tolerance class, fixation, size and thickness; secure clamping for this insert is achieved with a compatible ISO seat and the screw arrangement matching the cylindrical hole and countersink.

How does the SH730 grade perform on differing materials?
SH730 is a robust, edge-stable coated carbide developed for a broad range of turning tasks; it favours operations where toughness and stable edge retention are priorities, helping to extend tool life and maintain surface finish.

What is the significance of the 11° clearance and 1.59 mm thickness?
The 11° clearance reduces flank contact for improved surface finish and less rubbing, while the 1.59 mm thickness contributes to insert rigidity and reliable clamping in standard ISO holders.
