TCGT 080204 SH7025 turning insert (triangle, 60°) by Tungaloy

A TCGT080204 SH7025 triangle insert designed for external and internal turning, offering stable cutting edges for variable engagement conditions and small‑tool applications.

• ISO 60° triangular insert
• Coated carbide grade SH7025
• Single-sided chipbreaker
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

Reliable cutting performance under variable conditions

The SH7025 coated carbide grade delivers a balance of toughness and edge stability, making the insert particularly suited for challenging turning operations and frequent changes in engagement. The combination of a wear‑resistant coating and a robust substrate reduces the risk of premature chipping and supports steady productivity. For machining tasks where consistent tool life and predictable wear are priorities, this indexable cutting insert contributes to process stability and fewer unplanned tool changes.

Precision geometry for accurate contours and fine finishes

The triangular 60° geometry, together with a 0.4 mm corner radius and 7° clearance, enables accurate profile turning and controlled cutting forces. A small corner radius helps when producing tight radii and fine features, while the clearance angle prevents rubbing and supports a cleaner surface finish. These geometric choices translate into repeatable dimensional control and improved workpiece appearance without sacrificing cutting edge security.

ISO compatibility and secure mounting for straightforward integration

Manufactured to ISO norms, the insert fits a wide range of standard external holders and boring bars when form, clearance, tolerance class, fastening and size are matched. The cylindrical hole with a 40°–60° single‑side countersink ensures reliable clamping and correct seating in the cutter body. With a 2.38 mm plate thickness the insert offers stable engagement even under interrupted cuts, simplifying selection for existing ISO systems and reducing setup complexity.

Effective chip control and suitability for small tools

The one‑sided chipbreaker is designed to assist reliable chip formation and evacuation during turning, reducing manual intervention and improving surface quality. The SH7025 grade is optimised for smaller cutters and variable engagement, providing a practical compromise between toughness and wear resistance. When paired with the correct holder and cutting parameters, this insert supports productive turning across a range of standard operations while maintaining consistent cutting behaviour.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The SH7025‑grade TCGT080204 turning insert is a tough, edge‑stable coated carbide designed for general turning; selection of the chipbreaker and cutting data should be matched to the specific workpiece material and machining conditions.

How does the 0.4 mm corner radius affect machining results?
A 0.4 mm corner radius provides improved edge strength for finishing and light profiling while allowing finer radii than larger radii would permit; the insert maintains stability thanks to its 60° triangular geometry.

Is the insert compatible with standard ISO holders?
Yes, the insert conforms to ISO dimensions; compatibility depends on matching form, clearance, tolerance, fastening and size of the toolholder or boring bar.

What is the benefit of the cylindrical hole with countersink?
The cylindrical hole with a single‑side countersink (40°–60°) ensures secure clamping and correct seat orientation, reducing the risk of movement and enabling repeatable assembly in cutter bodies.

Which operations suit this insert best?
The insert is optimised for external and internal turning where stable cutting edges are required, particularly with smaller tools or variable engagement conditions.
