Consistent cutting performance through advanced coating and grade
The combination of a PVD-coated surface and a carbide substrate in grade AH3135 provides a durable cutting edge that keeps dimensions stable across long production runs. The PVD layer improves resistance to wear and heat, while the carbide core sustains edge integrity under interrupted cuts. This results in fewer tool changes and more predictable cycle times in facemilling, shoulder milling and contour operations. The material choice is particularly beneficial when a sharp cutting edge and high process reliability are required, since the coating and substrate work together to reduce abrasion and minimise chipping.
Geometry and clamping ensure accurate, repeatable mounting
The square 17 mm form, 6.35 mm thickness and a 90° cutting angle are engineered for exact seating in matched Tungaloy tool bodies; the insert’s cylindrical hole with double-sided countersink (40°–60°) and a double-sided chipbreaker promote secure clamping and consistent chip control. Correct seat alignment and use of the specified clamping screw and pad maintain repeatability from index to index, reducing set-up time and guaranteeing consistent component quality. For users migrating between tool families, ensuring geometric compatibility of insert seat, geometry and cutter body is essential to preserve the intended cutting geometry and avoid unexpected runout.
Flexible application spectrum and machining guidance
Designed for face, shoulder, slot, high-feed and contour milling depending on the assigned cutter family, the insert’s characteristics favour operations where a controlled chip formation and a reliable edge are priorities. The double-sided chipbreaker helps to regulate chip flow across various depths of cut and feed rates, improving surface finish and reducing the risk of built-up edge. For initial process set-up, conservative feed and speed values are recommended until cutting stability is verified; further optimisation can then focus on cycle-time reduction and tool-life extension. Technical consultation is available for selecting ideal parameters for specific materials and component geometries.

FAQ
What milling operations suit this insert best?
The SNMU1706AN AH3135 Tungaloy indexable insert is intended for face, shoulder, slot, high-feed and contour milling depending on the associated cutter family; selection should follow the cutter body’s application guidelines.
How does the AH3135 grade affect performance?
AH3135 is a PVD-coated carbide grade engineered for wear and chipping resistance; the coating enhances heat and abrasion resistance while the carbide substrate preserves edge strength for reliable milling performance.
Is special clamping required for this insert?
The insert requires a compatible Tungaloy milling body with the correct insert seat and a clamping screw (and pad if specified) to ensure secure mounting; the cylindrical hole with countersink supports stable clamping.
Can the insert be re-indexed after wear?
The double-sided square design permits re-indexing according to the cutter family’s specifications; check the cutter body documentation to confirm the number of usable edges and indexing procedure.
What information is needed to match this insert to a cutter body?
Provide the insert designation (SNMU1706AN), grade (AH3135), dimensions (17 mm Ă— 6.35 mm), hole / countersink style and the cutter family so that compatibility and correct seating can be verified.
