SNMU1307AN AH120 SNMU square indexable insert for milling by Tungaloy

SNMU1307AN AH120 is a precision square indexable insert intended for face, shoulder, slot, high-feed and contour milling within matching Tungaloy milling systems.

• SNMU geometry for secure seat fit
• PVD-coated carbide AH120 for wear resistance
• Double-sided chipbreaker for stable chip control
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

Consistent cutting performance through hardened edge control

The insert delivers a sharp cutting edge with a zero corner radius, enabling precise finishing passes and consistent dimensional results. The combination of a robust substrate and a PVD-coated carbide surface reduces adhesive and abrasive wear, which in practice extends the interval between tool changes and lowers overall machining cost per component. For production environments where predictable tool life and minimal variation in surface finish are essential, this geometry offers measurable stability and process reliability.

Secure mounting and system compatibility that minimise downtime

Designed as part of Tungaloy milling systems, the plate geometry and seating must match the cutter body to ensure correct clamping and repeatable index positions. The insert features a 13 mm square form and a plate thickness of 7.94 mm, together with a cylindrical hole and a double-sided countersink (40°–60°) to allow precise axial and radial fixation. Correctly matched seating reduces chatter, simplifies changeover and improves the repeatability of component tolerances across batches.

Material and coating explained — why AH120 is suitable for demanding milling

The cutting element is a PVD-coated hardmetal grade identified as AH120, formulated to resist fracture and edge breakdown under interrupted cuts. The substrate is hardmetal (carbide), offering toughness, while the PVD coating provides a thin, adherent wear layer that helps retain a sharp edge and resists built-up edge formation. In practical terms, this means the insert maintains cutting geometry longer, gives consistent tool life across similar components and supports higher productivity without sacrificing surface quality.

Operational advantages and recommended milling uses

With a double-sided chipbreaker, the insert controls chip form in a range of feed rates and depths of cut, which simplifies chip evacuation and reduces the risk of recutting. The square format allows multiple indexing positions, optimising utilisation of each insert. Typical applications include face milling, shoulder milling, slotting and contouring where a reliable sharp edge and process security are required. For optimal results, match the insert to a compatible Tungaloy cutter body and select cutting parameters that reflect workpiece material and rigidity of the set-up.

FAQ

What is the main application of this insert? The SNMU1307AN AH120 Tungaloy indexable insert is intended for milling operations such as face, shoulder, slot, high-feed and contour milling when used in a compatible milling body.

Which material is the cutting part made from? The cutting part is formed from hardmetal (carbide) with a PVD coating specified by the AH120 grade to enhance wear and chipping resistance.

How does the hole and countersink affect clamping? The cylindrical hole combined with a double-sided countersink (40°–60°) provides reliable axial fixation and repeatable seating, which reduces vibration and improves dimensional consistency for each indexed position.

Is the insert suitable for finishing operations? Yes, the zero corner radius and sharp cutting edge make the insert suitable for finishing passes where accurate edges and good surface quality are required.

What should be checked before fitting the insert to a cutter body? Ensure the plate seat geometry and clamping screw arrangement of the cutter body match the insert specification; correct matching of insert and body is necessary for safe, repeatable operation.
