SNMU 1706AN AH3135 indexable insert for milling by Tungaloy

SNMU1706AN AH3135 Tungaloy indexable insert is designed for precision milling applications and suitable for face, shoulder, slot, high-feed and contour milling when used in matching Tungaloy milling bodies.

• SNMU1706AN compatible with Tungaloy milling systems
• AH3135 PVD-coated carbide for wear resistance
• Double-sided chipbreaker for reliable chip control
• Square 17 mm insert with central hole and countersink

Longer edge life through optimised grade and coating

The PVD-coated AH3135 grade combines a wear-resistant surface with a tough substrate to extend edge life under mixed cutting conditions. This PVD-coated finish reduces adhesive wear and improves flank life, which translates into longer tool cycles and fewer indexings. For production environments where process stability matters, the coated carbide composition delivers consistent performance, reducing unplanned downtime and maintaining surface quality over extended runs.

Secure clamping and stable cutting geometry for repeatable results

A square insert with a central hole and a cylindrical hole plus double-sided countersink (40°–60°) provides a reliable mechanical interface with compatible milling bodies. The 90° cutting angle and the specified relief geometry ensure predictable engagement and even load distribution during heavy shoulder or face milling. Because the seat, geometry and cutter body must match technically, this arrangement supports repeatable positioning and reduces the risk of micro-movement that can affect tolerances and surface finish.

Improved chip control and process security with double-sided breakers

The double-sided chipbreaker design offers controlled fragmentation and evacuation of chips across a range of feeds and depths. Smart chip formation reduces re-cutting, minimises heat concentration at the cutting edge and lowers tool load peaks — all contributing to process security and consistent component quality. For applications demanding a sharp cutting edge and stable operation, the chipbreaker geometry is a decisive advantage when combined with the AH3135 grade.

Dimensions and form factor that suit modular milling systems

Manufactured in a square 17 mm size with a 6.35 mm plate thickness and a 0 mm corner radius, the insert is optimised for applications where a defined edge and rigid clamping are required. The double-sided design effectively offers multiple usable faces, enabling economical indexing strategies. When integrated into a matched Tungaloy cutter body, the insert’s geometry supports precise cutting forces and helps maintain repeatable surface integrity across serial production.

FAQ

What milling tasks are suitable for this insert?
The SNMU1706AN AH3135 Tungaloy insert is intended for face, shoulder, slot, high-feed and contour milling when used with matching Tungaloy cutter bodies and clamping systems.

Is this insert designed for stable process conditions?
Yes. The AH3135 grade and the double-sided chipbreaker of the SNMU1706AN insert support process security and a sharp cutting edge under varying milling conditions.

How is the insert fixed in the cutter body?
The insert features a central cylindrical hole with a double-sided countersink (40°–60°) to accommodate a clamping screw and ensure secure seating in the corresponding Tungaloy milling body.

Does the design allow indexing of cutting edges?
The square, double-sided construction permits indexing to fresh faces; the geometry is intended for economical edge changes while maintaining stability.

What are the key dimensional details to check before ordering?
Verify the 17 mm square form, 6.35 mm thickness, 90° angle, 0 mm corner radius and the central hole plus countersink to ensure compatibility with the selected milling cutter.
