Tungaloy TCMT110204-PS AH725 Turning Insert

Precision Finishing | High-Performance AH725 PVD Carbide | 0.4mm Radius

What is the most effective insert for precision finishing on steel and stainless?

The Tungaloy TCMT110204-PS AH725 is a high-precision triangular indexable insert designed for the rigorous demands of finishing operations. Featuring the state-of-the-art AH725 PVD coated carbide grade, this insert excels in maintaining edge sharpness and preventing built-up edge (BUE) in ISO P (Steel) and ISO M (Stainless Steel) materials. The -PS chipbreaker geometry is specifically engineered for light depths of cut, ensuring excellent chip control and a superior surface finish. 100% Made in Japan, it is the professional choice for CNC machining centers prioritizing accuracy and tool longevity.

AH725 PVD Excellence

A specialized PVD coating with high adhesion strength. It provides a smooth surface that reduces friction and heat, significantly extending tool life in precision turning.

-PS Precision Breaker

The 'PS' (Power Sharp) breaker is Tungaloy's answer to difficult chip control during finishing. It curls and breaks chips effectively at low feed rates.

Tight Tolerance Control

Manufactured with M-class tolerances, ensuring high repeatability and dimensional accuracy for critical component manufacturing.

3. Technical Specifications: Metric vs. Imperial

Parameter Metric (ISO) Imperial Equivalent
Cutting Edge Length (L) 11.0 mm TCMT 21.51
Inscribed Circle (IC) 6.35 mm 1/4"
Thickness (S) 2.38 mm 3/32"
Corner Radius (RE) 0.4 mm 1/64"

Recommended Cutting Parameters (AH725)

  • Cutting Speed (Vc): 80 - 180 m/min
  • Feed Rate (f): 0.05 - 0.20 mm/rev
  • Depth of Cut (ap): 0.2 - 1.5 mm

*Machinist Advice: For stainless steel, stay toward the lower end of the Vc range and use ample coolant to maximize the effectiveness of the PVD coating.*

4. Product Applications

  • High-precision finishing of carbon and alloy steels.
  • Machining of aerospace-grade stainless steel components.
  • Internal boring operations in small diameter holes.
  • Finishing passes on automotive shafts and precision pins.

5. Tool Compatibility

Compatible with standard Tungaloy / ISO boring bars and external holders designed for TCMT 1102 size inserts (1/4" Inscribed Circle). Fits perfectly in S-STFCR/L series boring bars.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Excellent Service" - Paolo R., Italy
"Fast delivery and authentic Japanese tools. These inserts have significantly improved our Ra values on aerospace parts."

8. FAQ - Machining Support

Q: Why use PVD AH725 instead of CVD grades?

A: PVD coatings allow for much sharper cutting edges, which is essential for precision finishing and preventing built-up edges in sticky materials like stainless steel.

Q: Is this insert suitable for interrupted cuts?

A: While it is optimized for finishing (continuous cutting), the AH725 grade has high adhesion strength which can handle light interruptions better than standard finishing grades.

Q: Will this fit my TCMT 1102 holder from another brand?

A: Yes, as long as your holder is designed for the ISO TCMT 1102 (1/4" Inscribed Circle) specification, it will be perfectly compatible.

Expert Comparison: PVD vs. CVD Finishing

The **PVD AH725** grade is the professional's choice for precision finishing where surface Ra and edge sharpness are critical. For high-speed, heavy-duty production in carbon steel, a **CVD grade** like T9125 would be more efficient. For precision and stainless steel, **Tungaloy Japan** is the industrial gold standard.

Technical FAQ & Buying Guide

Are your carbide inserts interchangeable with major brands like Sandvik, Iscar, or Kennametal?

Absolutely. Our CNC carbide inserts (including CNMG, WNMG, DNMG, and APMT series) are manufactured strictly adhering to international ISO/ANSI specifications. A CNMG 120408 from OYYU BEYOND will flawlessly fit any standard turning tool holder or indexable tool from major global brands like Sandvik Coromant, Kennametal, Iscar, Walter, or SECO, providing a highly cost-effective premium alternative without sacrificing tolerance or tool life.

How do I choose the correct insert grade and chipbreaker for machining Stainless Steel (M) vs. Carbon Steel (P)?

We offer optimized CVD and PVD multi-layer coatings for different ISO material groups:

  • For Carbon/Alloy Steel (ISO P): Choose our thick multi-layer CVD coated grades (e.g., Al2O3 + TiN). They provide exceptional crater wear resistance and thermal barriers during high-speed dry or wet roughing.
  • For Stainless Steel (ISO M): Choose our nano-structured PVD coated grades with sharp, positive chipbreakers (like -TM or -MA). This combination prevents work hardening and effectively controls sticky chips.
What are the recommended cutting speed (Vc) and feed rate (f) parameters to maximize tool life?

The optimal cutting parameters vary depending on the workpiece hardness and operation type:

  • For General Steel Turnings: Recommended cutting speed ($V_c$) ranges from 150 to 280 m/min, with a feed rate ($f$) of 0.15 to 0.45 mm/rev.
  • For Stainless Steel Finishing: Recommended cutting speed ($V_c$) is 120 to 200 m/min, with a feed rate ($f$) of 0.10 to 0.25 mm/rev.Always adjust parameters based on early wear patterns: increase $V_c$ if built-up edge occurs, or reduce $V_c$ if severe flank wear is observed.
Do you offer bulk discounts or wholesale pricing for machine shops and distributors?

Yes, we support machine shops, distributors, and global buyers with tiered wholesale pricing and competitive volume discounts. We also provide OEM custom manufacturing solutions for tool holders and carbide inserts based on your technical drawings. Contact our team to request a quick B2B quotation.
