RCMT 1606EN AH120 Tungaloy indexable insert for milling – PVD-coated carbide, cylindrical hole

RCMT1606EN AH120 is a round indexable insert engineered for face, shoulder, slot, high-feed and contour milling in matching Tungaloy tool bodies.

• PVD-coated AH120 for wear resistance
• Cylindrical hole with one-sided countersink
• 7° relief for stable cutting action
• Single-sided chipbreaker for controlled chips

High-performance coating and cutting-edge durability

The insert uses a PVD-coated carbide grade AH120, developed for wear- and fracture-resistant performance in milling. This coating preserves a sharp cutting edge under variable loads, which translates into longer in-process life and reduced tool changes. For production environments that demand consistent cycle times and surface quality, the combination of coating and substrate supports predictable tool behaviour and fewer interruptions.

Positive seating, controlled clamping and vibration reduction

Secure location and clamping are achieved by the cylindrical hole with a one-sided countersink (40°–60°); this geometry ensures precise seating in the tool pocket and minimises micro-movement during high-load passes. The insert’s 7° relief and round 16 mm plate form contribute to even force distribution, while the single-sided chipbreaker directs chips away from the cutting zone, reducing the risk of built-up edge and chatter. The result is improved process stability and repeatable component accuracy.

Broad milling applications with assured process security

Designed for a wide range of milling tasks, the insert suits planing, shoulder, groove, high-feed and contour operations depending on the associated tool family. Its properties make it the right choice when a sharp edge and process security are required together: complex geometries benefit from consistent cutting action, and high-volume runs profit from longer tool life. The round format and specific seat geometry also facilitate flexible tool design without compromising clamping integrity.

FAQ

What milling operations is this insert suitable for?
The RCMT1606EN AH120 Tungaloy indexable insert is suitable for face, shoulder, slot, high-feed and contour milling, depending on the matched tool family.

How does the countersunk cylindrical hole affect performance?
The cylindrical hole with one-sided countersink on the RCMT1606EN AH120 ensures precise seating and secure clamping, which reduces vibration and improves repeatability in the machining process.

Which materials is the AH120 grade best for?
AH120 is a PVD-coated carbide grade designed for wear- and fracture-resistant performance in milling; it is chosen when a sharp cutting edge and process security are both required.

How does the single-sided chipbreaker benefit chip control?
The single-sided chipbreaker on this round insert channels chips away from the cutting zone, reducing built-up edge and helping to maintain surface finish and tool life for continuous milling.

What should be checked before installing this insert?
Ensure that the insert seat, geometry and the milling body are technically compatible with the RCMT1606EN AH120 and that clamping hardware matches the hole and countersink geometry.
