DCGT 11T304 SH7025 — Turning indexable insert by Tungaloy (DCGT11T304 SH7025 Tungaloy-Wendeplatte)

A DCGT11T304 SH7025 Tungaloy insert designed as an ISO‑standard rhombic turning plate for general external and internal turning applications, optimised for small tools and variable engagement conditions.

• Coated carbide grade SH7025
• Rhombic ISO insert, 55° cutting angle
• 0.4 mm corner radius for precise finishes
• One-sided chipbreaker, cylindrical hole fit

Durable grade for stable cutting performance

The SH7025 is a coated carbide grade developed for toughness and edge stability, especially under varying engagement and small‑tool conditions. This characteristic reduces the risk of premature chipping when cutting parameters fluctuate, which leads to more consistent cycle times and fewer unplanned tool changes. The coating supports wear resistance while the substrate maintains fracture toughness, so the insert is suited for demanding turning where a combination of reliability and consistent tool life is valued.

Geometry engineered for consistent surface quality

With a 55° cutting angle and 0.4 mm corner radius, the rhombic plate produces a balance between strength and surface finish. The moderate corner radius improves edge support for interrupted cuts and reduces chatter, while still enabling acceptable surface roughness on most turned components. The 3.97 mm thickness contributes to mechanical stability in the pocket and helps maintain concentricity during heavier feeds, resulting in uniform part quality across batches.

ISO compatibility and secure clamping for routine use

The insert is ISO‑designated and supplied with a cylindrical hole and a single‑side countersink (40°–60°) to match standard clamping systems. Compatibility to a given holder is determined by form, free clearance, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness; these parameters should be checked against the toolholder specification to ensure correct seating and repeatability. The single‑sided chipbreaker aids chip control in many turning tasks and is particularly helpful when the machining setup or material behaviour requires predictable chip formation.

Practical selection and process advantages

Intended for both external and internal turning, the plate performs best when the chipbreaker and grade are matched to the work material and machining stability. The combination of a tough grade and a robust geometry helps to avoid frequent insert changes, improving productivity on repetitive turning operations. For process planning or grade selection, assistance is available from Metav Werkzeuge technical staff who can advise on the best chipbreaker and holder pairing for the intended application.

FAQ

What applications is this insert intended for?
The DCGT11T304 SH7025 Tungaloy insert is intended for general turning, including both external and internal turning operations, and performs well in conditions requiring a tough, edge‑stable grade.

How is holder compatibility ensured for the plate?
Compatibility is determined by the insert form, free clearance angle (7°), tolerance class, fastening method, size (11 mm) and thickness (3.97 mm); the DCGT11T304 SH7025 should be matched to holders that accept the rhombic ISO geometry and the specified hole/countersink style.

Does the corner radius affect the surface finish?
Yes; the 0.4 mm corner radius of this plate provides a compromise between edge strength and surface finish, improving resistance to chipping while still producing consistent part surfaces in normal turning feeds.

What chip control features are included?
The plate is supplied with a single‑sided chipbreaker to promote predictable chip formation during turning; combined with the cylindrical hole and countersink, it supports secure clamping in standard toolholders.

Is the SH7025 grade suitable for fluctuating engagement conditions?
The SH7025 grade is described as tough and edge‑stable, making it particularly suitable for smaller tools and operations where cutting engagement may vary, helping to reduce the risk of unexpected edge damage.
