RCMT 1606EN AH725 — milling indexable insert by Tungaloy

A RCMT1606EN AH725 indexable insert designed for Tungaloy milling systems, intended for face, shoulder, slot, high-feed and contour milling where process security is essential

• PVD-coated carbide AH725 grade
• Universal for steel and stainless steels
• Round 16 mm plate, 6.35 mm thickness
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

Consistent machining performance for secure production

The combination of PVD coating and fine-grain carbide substrate provides a dependable cutting edge that extends tool life and reduces unplanned tool changes. As a universal, fracture-resistant grade, AH725 is optimised for mixed production runs involving steel and stainless steels, delivering predictable wear behaviour. This results in improved process security, fewer interruptions and more consistent component quality in series or batch manufacturing.

Controlled chips and reduced rework thanks to chipbreaker design

A tailored single-sided chipbreaker ensures chips are formed and evacuated reliably across a range of feeds and depths of cut. The controlled chip formation lowers the risk of recutting and surface defects, which translates to reduced secondary operations and higher first-pass yields. The PVD surface treatment also enhances thermal stability at elevated cutting temperatures, aiding in edge retention during continuous milling cycles.

Compact geometry for versatile insert integration

With a 16 mm diameter and plate thickness of 6.35 mm, this round insert offers multiple effective cutting edges and straightforward indexing. The insert features a cylindrical hole with a one-sided countersink (40°–60°) and a 7° relief, enabling secure clamping and consistent seating in compatible cutter bodies. The RCMT1606EN designation corresponds to established geometry standards; correct matching of insert seat, geometry and milling body is required for safe, repeatable performance.

Efficient solution across common milling tasks

Designed for modular Tungaloy tool families, the insert is suitable for face, shoulder, slot, high-feed and contour milling depending on the allocated tool body. Its universal character makes it particularly useful when jobs involve alternating materials or when small to medium cutters require dependable edge life. Choosing this insert supports reduced tool inventory complexity and contributes to a smoother production flow with predictable maintenance intervals.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited to machine?
The RCMT1606EN AH725 insert is specified for machining steel and stainless steels; its AH725 grade offers versatile performance across these materials.

How does the chipbreaker affect machining stability?
The single-sided chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation, improving surface finish and reducing the likelihood of recutting during milling.

Which cutter bodies are compatible with this insert?
Compatibility requires matching the insert seat, geometry and milling body; the insert is intended for Tungaloy milling systems with corresponding RCMT seats.

What does the 7° relief mean in practice?
A 7° relief reduces contact behind the cutting edge, lowering friction and heat generation, which supports consistent tool life and surface quality.

Is the insert suitable for high-feed milling?
Yes — the combination of PVD coating and the grade’s fracture resistance makes the insert appropriate for high-feed and contour operations when used in the correct tool family.
