RCMT 1606EN AH120 indexable insert for milling – Tungaloy

The RCMT1606EN AH120 is an indexable milling insert designed for face, shoulder, slot, high‑feed and contour milling within compatible Tungaloy milling systems.

• PVD-coated AH120 for wear resistance
• Suitable for face, shoulder and slot milling
• Cylindrical hole with single-sided countersink
• 7° clearance with 6.35 mm thickness

Consistent cutting performance through PVD-coated carbide technology

The RCMT1606EN combines a PVD-coated surface with AH120 carbide to deliver extended tool life where both a sharp cutting edge and process security are required. The coating reduces flank wear and supports stable temperatures at the cutting zone, which helps maintain dimensional accuracy during medium to high duty cycles. When mounted in a matching milling body, the insert keeps cutting forces predictable and reduces the need for frequent index changes, supporting uninterrupted production and improved overall efficiency.

Secure clamping and controlled chip formation for reliable machining

A cylindrical hole with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°) ensures dependable seating and torque transfer to the clamping screw, while the single-sided chipbreaker promotes consistent chip control for many finishing and roughing passes. The insert’s 6.35 mm thickness and 7° clearance angle balance stiffness and relief geometry to prevent rubbing and minimise chatter. These design choices result in improved surface finish and reduced likelihood of edge chipping, translating to fewer interruptions and a more economical tool cycle.

Broad application range with clear process benefits

Designed for use in the Tungaloy milling system, the insert supports a range of operations — from face and shoulder milling to slots, contours and high‑feed strategies, depending on the assigned tool family. The round shape and 16 mm size offer flexibility in cutter design, while the grade’s wear‑ and break‑resistant character reduces scrap risk in process‑critical applications. Correct matching of insert seat, geometry and cutter body is essential to achieve the stated benefits and to ensure repeatable, high‑quality results on the shop floor.

FAQ

What milling operations are suitable for this insert?
Typical uses include face milling, shoulder milling, slot milling, high‑feed and contour milling when the insert is paired with the appropriate Tungaloy milling body and cutter family.

What are the advantages of the AH120 grade?
The AH120 PVD‑coated carbide grade offers wear and break resistance, making it suitable where a sharp cutting edge and process security are required for stable and repeatable machining.

How is the insert secured in the cutter body?
Clamping relies on the cylindrical hole and the one‑sided countersink; the RCMT1606EN seats under a clamping screw and must be used in a cutter whose insert seat and geometry match the ISO designation.

Can this insert be used for high‑feed milling strategies?
Yes — high‑feed milling is listed among the typical applications, subject to the selected tool family and correct machine and process parameters.

What identifies the original part on delivery?
Genuine items are supplied as Tungaloy indexable inserts with the ISO designation RCMT1606EN and manufacturer references such as article number 5811855 and SKU 5811855‑Tungaloy
